| Time | Topic | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | North star and motivation | Confirm what the company is really trying to build and why it matters |
| 2 | Near-term wedge and default product story | Pick the clearest current external narrative |
| 3 | Technical trust and pilot blockers | Agree what must be solved before the next pilot |
| 4 | Market and customer focus | Reconfirm who we are actually targeting first |
| 5 | Founder alignment, equity, and leaving scenarios | Surface hidden assumptions before they become conflicts |
Q1. ** What is our north start /vision that inspires us?**
- ~~Which part of the mission feels most real to us personally: faster releases, stronger review trust, manufacturing readiness, or the larger engineering-IDE future?~~
- ~~Do we still believe conversation-plus-deterministic-tools is the right long-term interaction model for mechanical engineering work?~~
- ~~What should RapidDraft absolutely not become, even if customers ask for it?~~
*Q2. How do we balance product ambition Vs Focuses product launch (MVP) *
*Equity, ownership, committment *
Open questions to close:
- How does long-term contributor ownership evolve in practice?
- If someone leaves — before incorporation, before cliff, partially vested — what happens?
- Is current work founder equity, sweat equity with vesting, or staged?
- What contribution earns equity: time, responsibility, IP, traction, cash?
- When do shareholders' and founders' agreements get signed?
- What exact founder or team ownership model should RapidDraft use before incorporation is complete?
- What should happen to ownership if someone leaves early, reduces commitment, or stays long term?
Governance (how do we make deicisons for directions and key decisions)
