About the Masterclass

Get ahead of your lawyer - What every founder should know when setting up a company and getting ready for fundraising

What's the right legal structure for my venture? How do I ensure my co-founders stay committed? How to not waste time talking to the wrong investors? What's my homework to avoid getting overwhelmed during due diligence? Which terms are worth focusing on when negotiating a term sheet? Should I give that strategic investor a board seat? Why do I need to start thinking about my exit strategy early on?

Tap into the expertise of a seasoned startup and VC lawyer who has guided many dozens of startups through all stages of growth, from early challenges to major milestones. In this session, the speaker will look at a series of common mistakes made by founders and other stakeholders, sparking a discussion with the participants on how to best avoid them. The session is particularly geared toward tech founders seeking third-party investment, though founders from all industries and backgrounds are welcome to attend.
