Valuation & Legal For Startups
Valuation and legal mistakes can kill a fundraising round before it even starts. In this no-fluff, 60-minute webinar, we break down how startup valuation actually works and the legal basics every founder must understand before raising.
We skip academic theory and lawyer jargon. Instead, we focus on how investors think about valuation, how legal structures affect your leverage, and where founders most often shoot themselves in the foot.
Whether you are raising your first round or negotiating your next one, this session will give you a clear, founder-friendly framework.
What you’ll learn:
How VCs really think about valuation at pre-seed and seed
SAFE vs equity, and when each makes sense
The key legal terms that matter and the ones that do not
Common valuation and legal mistakes that cost founders control or dilution
We’ll end with a live Q&A, where you can ask questions about your own raise, terms, or structure.
Who should attend:
Early-stage founders planning a raise or currently in discussions with investors.
No legal maze. No valuation myths. Just the fundamentals you actually need.
