Building Investor-Ready Startups: A Legal & Financial Playbook for Scaling in the UAE

​A Dubai Founders HQ workshop, with Finanshels and Onecorplegal

​Most UAE startups don't lose funding because the idea was wrong. They lose it in diligence: messy books, no data room, undocumented IP, and shareholder terms nobody can defend.

​Dubai Founders HQ is bringing in two operators who see this up close every day, Onecorplegal and Finanshels, for a half-day working session that closes the gap before it costs you a raise.

​Legal track, with Ruchi, Legal Counsel at Onecorplegal

• ​Legal roadmap for scaling a tech startup in the UAE

• ​Protecting your IP before someone else claims it

• ​Founder and shareholder agreements that prevent future disputes

• ​Commercial contracts every tech business needs in place

​Financial track, with Mohammed Shafeekh, CEO of Finanshels

• ​Clean books: the foundation investors check first
