Founder Feedback
Client testimonials
"We were two technical co-founders with no idea how to structure our company properly. Keystrum walked us through the options without pushing us toward unnecessary complexity. The shareholder agreement they drafted was thorough and they explained every clause. Very glad we got this done before our first investor conversations."

"We were in the middle of closing a seed round and needed our documents turned around quickly. Keystrum handled the subscription agreement and shareholder rights provisions professionally and on time. The investor's legal team had very few comments — which tells you something about the quality of the drafting."

"The IP assignment work was something I kept putting off because I didn't fully understand why it was urgent. Keystrum explained clearly why having IP sit with the founders rather than the company would be a problem during due diligence. The process itself was straightforward once we got started."

"What I appreciated most was that the pricing was clear from the beginning. No surprises. After working with firms that use open-ended hourly billing, knowing what I was going to pay before signing an engagement letter made a real difference in how I approached the whole process."

"We came to Keystrum to help set up our vesting structure after adding a third co-founder to the team. It was a slightly sensitive situation and they handled the legal framing well — drafted something that was fair and that all three of us felt comfortable signing. Helpful to have someone outside the founding team structure it."

"We had a convertible note from an early angel investor that needed converting as part of a seed round. Keystrum managed the documentation cleanly and explained the mechanics well. The process took a bit longer than we'd hoped but the quality of the output was solid and the investor was satisfied."

Case Studies
How we've helped founders
Challenge
Incorporating before a VC introduction
A two-person SaaS team was building their product as individuals with no legal entity. A contact at a local VC fund suggested they formalise the structure before any introductions. They had two weeks.
Solution
End-to-end incorporation support
Keystrum managed the SSM filing, constitution preparation, and shareholder agreement within the two-week window. We also advised on an equity split structure that reflected both founders' contributions.
Result
Ready for investor conversations
The company was incorporated on time. The founders went into their VC meetings with a properly structured entity, a clean shareholder agreement, and no loose ends on corporate setup. They proceeded to close their pre-seed within three months.
Challenge
IP ownership unclear before a Series A
A health technology startup was approached by a Series A investor whose due diligence team flagged that the company's core software IP hadn't been formally assigned from the founders to the entity. This created a risk that needed resolving before closing.
Solution
IP assignment and documentation package
Keystrum prepared IP assignment agreements for all three founders, covering the existing software and related documentation. We also reviewed contractor agreements to identify and close any further IP ownership gaps identified during the process.
Result
Due diligence satisfied, round completed
The investor's legal team confirmed that the IP ownership documentation was satisfactory. The due diligence flag was resolved within ten working days. The round closed as scheduled, without any IP-related conditions or carve-outs.
