When Do You Need an NDA?

Before sharing your idea with a potential partner or investor. If you're pitching your startup, discussing a business opportunity, or exploring a partnership, an NDA protects your confidential information from being shared or used without permission.

When hiring freelancers or contractors. Before giving a developer, designer, or consultant access to your codebase, product roadmap, or business strategy, have them sign an NDA.

During due diligence or acquisition talks. If another company is evaluating your business, an NDA ensures your financials, customer data, and trade secrets stay protected.

FAQ

Is this NDA legally binding?

The NDA follows standard legal conventions and is customized to your inputs and jurisdiction. We recommend attorney review for high-stakes situations, but most founders use these as-is for everyday business conversations.

What's the difference between mutual and unilateral NDAs?

A unilateral NDA protects one party's information (e.g., you're sharing your idea with someone). A mutual NDA protects both parties — useful when both sides are sharing confidential information.
