Comment on Startup Founder Agreements by mv

I’m a college student working on a startup website. I do not have a technology background, and do not know how to program. The website will include an outside licensing agreement. Currently, I’m in the process of trying to finalize a programmers license agreement, and hoping to have it for free through beta testing.
Thats just some background. With that, I’m looking to bring a “tech” guy onboard to develope the website. If that doesn’t work, there is a local company that has expressed a desire to work with me in the development.
So, my question is: do you have any recommendations for websites to find Non-Disclosure Agreements, and contracts for splitting equity? There is an attorney willing to read over them for me before any signing takes place, I just need to find them.
As you can tell, being a college student and this being my first time in the field, i’m trying to be scrappy with funds.
Thank you!

Dear all, besides the vesting, management has usually a lock-in period in case of a successful exit before they can take on new ventures. How long is this period usually and do you have examples? Many thanks!

From Hrvatsko? Possible but you’d need to be amazing at code, communication and understanding US Web users to compensate for the distance.
