RE: Re: Series A Deal Docs
We’re still waiting on due diligence from your legal team...
Most startups dread hiring a lawyer
Startups need reliable legal counsel but worry they’ll end up paying exorbitant legal fees or receive bad advice that will impact their business. However, a DIY approach with ripped legal templates from the internet is not a great option either.
The consequences of both can be far-reaching.
!
You’re afraid to reach out to your counsel for support because of high fees and slow turnaround.
You’re winging it and concerned about contracts, employees, liability, and overall fear of the unknown.
!
You’re raising capital or developing equity compensation plans without the proper due diligence.
