Building with Venture in Mind: Legal Structures That Won’t Break Later

You’re focused on shipping, not Delaware law. But the wrong structure can kill your raise before it starts. This session is a quick-start guide to getting legally venture-ready, without needing to hire a whole legal team.

In this session, Grant Gibson, a Venture Capital investor and attorney at Great North Ventures, will walk through the foundational legal concepts that every technical founder should understand. We'll cover legal entities, preferred shares, and equity splits. We will also touch on the most common startup funding instruments (like SAFEs and convertible notes) and hopefully have lots of time for Q&A.
