If you already have the people you would start something with, the board locks and you bring the roster.
The Boardroom
Claim a seatThirteen directors sit for about four weeks, vote a company into existence, and let a secretary run the calendar, the tape, and the next motion.
Motion 14
Form Harbor as a Delaware C-corp.
File now, keep the yard software as the offer, and do not reopen the name.
Name and offer already locked. Formation is the live motion.
Outside counsel intro stays parked until the keep vote closes.
Secretary
Next motion · Friday 10:00 — Keep the company and file.
The room decides by vote. The secretary keeps the season moving so the next sitting starts from a decision, not a recap.
The secretary books the sitting and puts one motion in front of thirteen people.
You talk in a guided chat or on the phone. The tape is the record, not a pile of notes someone has to reconstruct later.
Minutes keep three columns: what was said, what entered the playbook after a vote, and what we parked on purpose.
Whatever passes becomes the playbook. The next meeting opens on the next decision.
If you already have the people you would start something with, the board locks and you bring the roster.
If you do not, you sit an open board with people you have not built with. It is more uncomfortable, and often better.
A chair can draft the room the way a general manager drafts a roster: for mix, not for a company idea someone is already selling. The draft starts empty.
A few boards run at the same time. They sit on a public Gantt, including the ones that stall, because a season is not a highlight reel.

Season fee
Published and capped so one person cannot buy the vote. You pay when you sit — private, open, or drafted. There is no form on this page.
