Micro-SaaS Revenue Sharing Agreement Generator for Co-Builder Partnerships
When two indie hackers collaborate on a project, they need legal agreements for revenue sharing, IP ownership, and exit terms. A simple agreement generator that creates fair, enforceable revenue-sharing contracts for micro-SaaS partnerships would reduce legal costs and partnership friction.
Problem Statement
Two indie hackers decide to build something together. They shake virtual hands and start coding. Six months later, the product makes $5K/month and they disagree about who owns what, how revenue splits, and what happens if one wants to leave. Without a clear agreement, partnerships dissolve acrimoniously. Hiring a lawyer costs $1-5K for a partnership agreement. Existing legal templates (LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer) are designed for traditional businesses, not micro-SaaS revenue-sharing arrangements.
The Idea
A legal document generator for micro-SaaS partnerships that creates revenue-sharing agreements, IP assignments, and exit clauses tailored to indie hacker collaboration patterns.
Why Now
The rise of co-building (two indie hackers teaming up for specific projects) needs legal infrastructure. Traditional legal documents are designed for venture-backed startups with equity splits, not indie partnerships with revenue-sharing arrangements. AI can now generate customized legal documents from templates, making specialized legal tooling accessible at indie-friendly prices.
