Silicon Valley has been an incubator for startups for over 50 years, and throughout those years, the model for forming and financing startup companies has been refined to near perfection. Today the standard formation and financing documents anticipate the issues and challenges that routinely arise in a new company – with founders who are often young, bright and have just met each other. Please join Carole Bellis, Partner in the Silicon Valley office of Kilpatrick Townsend, an incorporator of thousands of startups, Wes Jackson, Co-Founder and CEO of Valitor, a startup in the therapeutic protein space who led the fundraising efforts to close Valitor’s Series A financing, and Mike Lyons, Managing Director of NewLine Ventures and Adjunct Professor at Stanford, as they walk you through the key considerations for founders and share some of the lessons they have learned along the way.
