Founders' lock-up agreement

Keeps founders committed post-close

An agreement that restricts founders (and sometimes early employees) from selling or transferring their shares for a set period, often used around a financing round or acquisition. Investors typically require one to make sure founders stay invested in the company's success rather than cashing out early.
