Download or read book Startup Law and Fundraising for Entrepreneurs and Startup Advisors written by Paul Swegle and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship can be chaotic. Some chaos drives innovation. But legal chaos rocks many startups to their foundations, dashing dreams, jeopardizing jobs and investments, creating liabilities, and slowing innovation. Paul Swegle wrote Startup Law and Fundraising for Entrepreneurs and Startup Advisors to help startups avoid these pitfalls, including the pitfall of struggling to grow a poorly funded business. This is a practical book meant to help entrepreneurs and their advisors:-build on a solid foundation, -avoid costly legal and regulatory mistakes, and -raise the money needed for stability, innovation, and operational success. Startup Law and Fundraising is for everyone interested in business, business law, and startup fundraising. Its 550 pages cover an unmatched range of startup-focused concepts, tips, traps, strategies, and best practices. Fifty-one colorful startup case studies keep things interesting.Legal, governance and regulatory hurdles are covered in the book's first ten chapters. But surviving those hurdles is no guarantee of success. Many startups simply run out of money. Others are bedeviled by ill-advised early funding rounds. Startup Law and Fundraising devotes five chapters to creating and executing a fundraising plan around the principles of just-in-time finance and raising money from the right investors, in the right amounts, and on the right terms, whether from friends and family, angel investors, angel investing groups, seed funds, VCs, strategic investors, accelerators, or crowdfunding platforms.The final chapters fittingly cover the final chapters of startup life - optimizing an "exit" with a successful IPO or sale, or, as happens about 80% of the time, managing through insolvency and winding up.Startup Law and Fundraising provides the foundation for an entrepreneurial law and finance class at any level, including law school, MBA, undergraduate business, community college, or startup incubator.

It distills a lifetime of experience in advising technology companies in a concise and understandable way." -Howard Berke, Serial Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist "Lifecycle of a Technology Company provides a valuable resource for lawyers at a variety of experience levels. The junior lawyer will use this resource for the basics. More experienced lawyers with a broad practice will use this for a 'sanity check' relative to market terms and business rationale. In the trenches, it will assist lawyers by providing practical, plain speaking explanations for why things operate as they do in the finance, intellectual property, and merger & acquisition segments of the technology world.

This position has not improved in the many years and will take time to change even when a new business friendly regime is in place. The problem of complex legal system is compounded by lack of basic legal knowledge on part of the public and entrepreneurs. Mostly, legal issues in any business are over looked even by the incubators and accelerators. While providing state of the start facilities they totally ignore the need for quality legal services. While things are not going to change any time soon, there is a solution whereby the founders can learn the basic legal principle of business in India and things that will prove helpful in taking sound legal decisions. This book is a step in that direction and introduces the necessities of Indian law to the entrepreneurs and students in a short and precise manner (so that valuable time is not lost). This book is written while keeping entrepreneurs in mind, it is highly useful even to those who want to learn legal principles of business. THE BOOK HAS BEEN UPDATES WITH INPUTS FROM REVIEWERS.
