Given what we know about our audience, I think this episode could hold the most bang for your buck of any of our episodes, as Hillary gives great insights about a range of legal matters that took me years to understand as a first time entrepreneur. 

We discuss a range of legal topics including 

  1. Entity formation

  2. How to split equity between founders

  3. How and when to think about raising capital

  4. Preparing your business for acquisition, and so much more.
