What topics will Startup Lawyer cover?
Startup Lawyer covers legal issues involved in a startup’s lifecycle, including incorporation, cofounders, advisors, accelerators, stock options, convertible notes, SAFEs, seed rounds, and venture capital, etc. Sometimes we’ll write a “non-legal” post but it usually involves an entrepreneurial lesson, startup events, or news.
What is “Acceleration: What All Entrepreneurs Must Know About Startup Law”?
“Acceleration: What All Entrepreneurs Must Know About Startup Law” is best thought of as a super-premium, curated version of the blog posts on StartupLawyer.com. The book also features various real-life anecdotes and other lessons learned either through an entrepreneur’s experience, or by “pattern recognition” developed by working with over a thousand clients over the course of more than a decade.
