Introduction
This post is part of a weekly series called “Ask the Attorney,” which I am writing for VentureBeat (one of the most popular websites for entrepreneurs). As the VentureBeat Editor notes on the site: “Ask the Attorney is a new VentureBeat feature allowing start-up owners to get answers to their legal questions.”
I have two goals here: (i) to encourage entrepreneurs to ask law-related questions regardless of how basic they may be; and (ii) to provide helpful responses in plain English (as opposed to legalese). Please give me your feedback in the comments section. Many thanks, Scott
Introduction
My blog post last week addressed angel financing and included five legal tips for entrepreneurs to help them through the angel financing process. I had intended to post a part 2 (adding five more tips), but I thought I would try something different to break things up a little. Accordingly, below is a brief video of three lessons that I learned in the big-firm trenches as a young corporate associate in New York City.
Oddly enough, I actually look back with fondness on those eight years (including all the all-nighters and weekends working on deals) because of the solid training that I received – which I can finally appreciate practicing law out here in California. Here are the three lessons: (1) do your due diligence; (2) watch-out using forms from other deals or off the web; and (3) create a competitive environment. This is part one of an ongoing series. (Note: videos are tricky and can put some people off; thus, I have also included below the substance of the video in written format.)
