Montague Law's Entrepreneur Forms Library is a free collection of legal documents covering the journey from company formation through Series A fundraising. Each form is drafted at the caliber of a top-tier law firm associate and paired with a short teaching narrative that explains what the document does, when to use it, and the traps to watch for. The library is organized into chronological pillars: forming the company, issuing founder equity, hiring, raising capital, and beyond. Forms are available as downloadable Word documents and include Delaware, Florida, and California entity formation documents.

The library covers essential startup documents including founders' agreements, advisor agreements, NDAs, employment offer letters, and fundraising term sheets. The plain-English annotations make the legal reasoning accessible even if you have no legal background. The site explicitly states that these forms are starting points rather than final documents, and recommends having a lawyer review anything before signing. For founders who want to understand the legal landscape before engaging counsel, this is an unusually useful and transparent resource.
