Most startups ignore this early ...
But it's one of the fastest ways to lose your product, money, or both:

👉A Product Development Agreement.👇

8/
If you're building a startup and working with external developers.

Don't wait until there's a problem.

Fix clarity.

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

7/
Think of it less as "legal paperwork"... and more as a founder protection + alignment tool.

It keeps builders and founders on the same page when things get messy.

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

6/
A Product Development Agreement shouldn't slow you down.

It should match how startups actually build:
Fast iterations.
Changing priorities.
Agile development circles.

Not rigid corporate bureaucracy.

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

5/
Startups always change direction

Without a structure for changes, you get :
1. Scope Creep
2. Unpaid extra work
3. Constant friction

Especially that last one👆

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

4/
A good Product Development Agreement quietly solves 3 things:

1. IP ownership (no ambiguity)
2. Scope of work ( what is being built)
3. Change process (how updates/features are handled)

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

3/
Most startup disputes don't happen at the start.

They happen when:
1.The product starts gaining traction.
https://t.co/kgGG2VllKH starts coming in
3.Or the relationship breaks down.

That's when unclear agreement gets expensive.

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

2/
Without proper agreement, these questions become problems later:

💡Who owns the code?
💡Who owns the UI/UX?
💡Can the developer reuse your product idea elsewhere?
💡What happens if you part ways mid-build?

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

1/
If you're building with a developer,agency, or technical cofounder (especially outside your core team), you need clarity on ONE thing:

Who actually owns what's been built?

[Irene Duke @LegalTechVoice]

@Peterside916233 @Vicyndysimipeal I know right?
