It's all open to negotiation. Founders outright own the company in the period between creating the C Corp through taking safes, if any, until taking a priced round. Depending on the progress at that point, you may or may not get asked to revest. In our case, we negotiated with our VC that our vesting period started on incorporation. However, we were funded within 6 months of incorporation. If that period were to be years, it would be extremely reasonable for a VC to demand revesting, and to the benefit of multiple founders IMO.
