Value Added Services

Start-up & Founder Advisory

Incorporation, ESOPs, cap tables, investor readiness and the compliance foundation early-stage companies are expected to have.

Overview

Early decisions compound. Cap table mistakes, informal ESOP promises and gaps in early compliance tend to surface at exactly the wrong moment - mid-diligence, with a term sheet on the table. We help founders get the foundations right while they are still inexpensive to get right.
