About Event
Most legal mistakes don’t look expensive when you make them.
🤝 A handshake between founders
📝 A contract you’ll “sort out later”
💡 IP nobody formally assigned
📊 Equity given away too quickly
✍️ Terms you didn’t fully understand before signing
Everything can feel fine — until it isn’t.
Legal Bootcamp: Learn It Before It Gets Expensive is a practical two-part session about the legal decisions founders and people building companies should understand before they become difficult or costly to fix.
No law-school lecture. No trying to turn you into a lawyer.
The goal is to help you understand where problems usually start, what questions you should be asking, and when something deserves more attention.
⚖️ Session 1 — Starting, Owning & Protecting
- Founders, ownership and equity
- Vesting and what happens when somebody leaves
- IP and who actually owns what
- Contracts and agreements worth getting right early
- Common shortcuts that come back later
💰 Session 2 — Money, People & When Things Go Wrong
- Fundraising terms and what you’re actually agreeing to
- Employees, freelancers and collaborators
- Liability and responsibility
- Disputes, exits and difficult situations
- The mistakes that are usually much cheaper to prevent than repair
You don’t need to know legal terminology before coming.
If you’re building something with other people, signing agreements, raising money, hiring, sharing ownership or simply wondering “What am I missing?”, this is designed for you.
🎟️ Registration covers both sessions
This is an educational event and not individual legal advice.
Learn it while it’s still easy to fix.
