The course will cover all of the key concepts: choosing an entity (corporation, limited liability company, partnership or sole proprietorship), raising money (common and preferred, debt, convertible notes and SAFEs), dividing equity (how to allocate the split among the founder group), capitalization (what is it and how to keep a record of it), protecting your brand and secret sauce (trademarks, service marks, patents, confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure agreements), finding investors (where and how to look), and selling your startup (strategic buyers and financial buyers). The focus of this course is on educating you so that you have the information to make intelligent decisions quickly.
