Three cofounders run a compliance-training [Startup](/business/nouns/startup). One shares the [Sales Lead](/agents/sales/sales-lead) Role with its Agent and takes the largest [Deals](/business/nouns/deal), and one signs contracts as [Legal Lead](/agents/legal/legal-lead). The third reviews course content, while Agents run delivery and support.
