Legal might not be the most glamorous part of being a founder, but it is absolutely critical to the success of your business, especially at the early stage. For that reason, we're excited to be hosting a special event with Gunderson Dettmer, where they’ll deep dive into the most pressing legal challenges for early stage startups.
In this members-only session, Greg Volkmar (Corporate Partner) and Katie Gardner (Strategic Transactions and Licensing Partner) will share the biggest red flags, challenges and opportunities that you will encounter as an early stage founder, including:
- SAFEs and convertible notes
- Equity awards
- Preparing for and executing an equity financing
- IP protection and enforcement
- Engaging service providers
- Commercial contracts
- Distribution and use of generative AI and open source software
- Privacy compliance
- And more...
We'll also have plenty of time for open Q&A, so come with your most pressing questions.
