Today we are excited to announce an enhancement to the way you create projects with FairSoftware.
Many of you asked us for a more flexible way to add co-founders early on and offer more flexibility on the allocation of shares, since you haven’t always found all your co-founders by the time you have your initial idea.
Therefore, creating a Fair Project is now split in two parts. First, you setup your project, with a very simple one-page form. At that stage, all you really need is a name and some idea of what you want to build.
You can leave your project in that stage for as long as you want. You an start adding co-founders from friends you know, advertise your project to the rest of our community, and also crowdsource your idea by gathering feedback.
During that setup phase, you can freely add or remove co-founders and modify the share allocation as many times as you want until you are happy with the results.

Edit Shares Split
Once you have settled on a founding team, you activate the project. That’s when each co-founder has to agree to the deal by approving the Software Bill of Rights. From then on, co-founders can start contributing, write code, and so on. Everyone is protected legally. As before, you can grow your project and bring more contributors on board.
We hope this improvement will make it even easier than before to start working on apps, even if you haven’t found a team yet.
As always, feel free to send us feedback and requests for more improvements.
FairSoftware is a community of entrepreneurs where you can find co-founders, form your first startup instantly and help each other by exchanging advice on how to start web and iPhone apps.
