Vertical 05 — Business
Structure your company right the first time. LLC, contracts, pricing, exit strategy.
The Business vertical is the unglamorous foundation every builder skips until it hurts. You get the exact operating agreement I use for Caipher AI LLC, the holding-company structure, equity splits with vesting, buy-sell provisions, how to price your product without undercharging, and exit strategy thinking even when you are not exiting. No legal advice — real-world playbooks from a founder running 10 verticals under one entity.
Decide between single-member, holding company, or series LLC based on your stage
Draft an operating agreement with the clauses that matter (distributions, buy-sell, capital)
Structure equity vesting with cliffs, acceleration, and drag/tag rights
Price your product 2× to 5× higher without flinching
Separate personal and business finances from day one to preserve your liability shield
Think about exit strategy during formation so structure supports it later
