Investors and board members can be your biggest allies if you manage them correctly.
If you are just getting started as an entrepreneur, navigating how to set up a business can be daunting. While anyone can fill out the paperwork to incorporate a business on the web, you need guidance on how to pick the right entity to fit your goals -- now and for the future.
We help you:
- Think through how much equity to give to founders
- Decide how much to sell to investors and at what price
- Avoid painful mistakes in the process of selling your equity to investors
- Learn how to set up and manage a board of directors
We also think three chess moves out -- including a shareholder agreement in our standard startup package.
We focus on helping California startups, based anywhere in the Los Angeles area, from Pasadena to Santa Monica to the San Fernando Valley. We can help you navigate the LA venture capital ecosystem, explaining how the Los Angeles Venture Association (LAVA), the Tech Coast Angels, Pasadena Angels, Technology Council of Southern California and other local organizations can benefit your startup.
With the experience of seventeen years working with numerous startups and entrepreneurs, I'm here to help.
