Frequently Asked Questions
What key person coverage amount is right for an app development co-founder?
A practical approach uses the revenue attributable to the co-founder's role, multiplied by 1–2 years, plus their proportional share of business value. For a $2M revenue studio with two equal co-founders, coverage of $1M–$2M per co-founder is a common illustrative range.
Can app development studios use life insurance to compete with FAANG compensation?
Executive bonus plans provide tax-advantaged long-term wealth building that technology companies often do not offer. Many senior developers value the permanent financial security of a well-structured executive bonus plan alongside competitive salaries.
How do app studio co-founders structure buy-sell agreements when IP is the primary asset?
The buy-sell agreement should address both the financial ownership transfer and the disposition of intellectual property, codebase ownership, and client contracts. Life insurance funds the financial component; legal counsel handles the IP provisions.
