Impact Hub, Kirkland Washington
If you missed last month’s startup legal documents webinar you have a second chance. Carter has been asked to repeat the lecture for Seattle Angel Conference. This will be a live lecture so space will be limited. Registration information at this link.
This will be a nuts and bolts discussion for recent founders or potential founders. Our discussion will cover:
- Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (with brief discussion of when an LLC might be preferred to c-corporation or s-corporation)
- Stock Ledger, Capitalization Table, Stock Certificates, and their related function.
- Shareholder Agreement (including discussion of voting agreements, rights of first refusal, co-sale agreements, drag-along, and other provisions often recommended for startups)
- Founder Restricted Stock, Stock Option Plans, warrants, and other methods for granting equity
- Founder and Employee Intellectual Property Agreements and Confidentiality Agreements
- Non-disclosure Agreements (used for potential business partners and investors)
- Consulting/Independent Contractor Agreements
- Convertible Notes and other seed round financing instruments such as Y Combinator SAFE (simple agreement for equity)
