Question
What are common practices to limit a co-founder's ability to sell their share of the company? Can this be written down so that a board approval is necessary or similar? Could we agree on specific conditions or cases in which a sale would be possible, but exclude it for other situations? What are the usual clauses? Thank you for any insight.

The best way to do this would be to give the co-founders restricted stock that vests over time. Then have that tied to an employment agreement that spells out their responsibilities. You should also create a right of first refusal for all the co-founders so they have an option to buy the shares at the same price a third-party is willing to pay for them
