Claude Prompts for Cofounder in Founders & Startup

Structure a tough cofounder conversation before you have it — separating facts from interpretations, identifying what you actually want, and rehearsing the opening sentence.

Draft an explicit, written cofounder R&R doc that names who decides what, where the gray zones are, and how disagreements get resolved — before they cause silent damage.

Build a focused weekly cofounder 1:1 agenda that surfaces friction early, tracks decisions, and prevents the silent drift that destroys cofounder relationships.

Write a clear, durable memo explaining the reasoning behind your cofounder equity split — so the decision survives the inevitable moments years later when someone questions it.
