Build the company right. Raise capital with clean, founder-aligned terms
Startup formation and funding support
Startups move fast—and legal work needs to keep up without creating drag. We help founders establish a clean corporate foundation, paper equity correctly, and prepare for financing with documentation that investors expect. The goal is simple: avoid preventable mistakes, stay investable, and keep momentum from formation through funding and growth.
Formation & Entity Structure
Entity selection (LLC vs. C-Corp), founder allocations, initial filings, and a structure that fits fundraising plans and tax realities.
Founder Agreements & Equity Hygiene
Founders’ agreements, vesting, IP assignment, role clarity, and “what happens if…” terms that prevent internal conflict later.
Governance & Corporate Records
Bylaws/operating agreements, board/consents, stock issuances, option pool setup planning, and clean recordkeeping that holds up in diligence.
Early Stage Funding
Founder-aligned SAFEs and convertible notes, caps/discounts/MFN terms, and documentation that stays clean when the priced round arrives.
Price Rounds & Investor Terms
Term sheet review, negotiation, and deal docs with focus on control, economics, protections, and closing mechanics—without losing momentum.
Dilligence Readiness
Data room readiness, IP and contractor clean-up, key commercial terms, hiring/comp, and the “investable company” checklist.
