FCFC Walkabout: Cap Tables, Control & the Art of Not Getting Screwed #CLETechWeek

​Let’s take a walk—and unpack all the ways founders accidentally give away the farm featuring legal dynamo Molly Brown with Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP

​Join us at the stunning Edgewater Beach House on the shores of Lake Erie for a guided hike and brutally honest convo about the decisions that haunt founders later:

• ​Equity splits you regret

• ​Terms you didn’t fully understand (but signed anyway)

• ​That one investor who suddenly thinks they run your company

​We’ll talk cap tables, control, dilution, SAFE vs. priced rounds, and how to keep your leverage without scaring off capital. Whether you're pre-seed or prepping for Series A, this is the walk you wish you took before signing.

​Led by a seasoned startup veteran who’s negotiated term sheets, cleaned up messy founder breakups, and lived to tell the tale.

​Expect:

• ​Stunning views

• ​Zero slides

• ​Unfiltered advice

• ​A chance to finally ask, “Wait… what is a participating preferred share?” without shame

​Wear: Trail shoes and founder trauma
Leave with: Perspective, fresh air, and a slightly healthier cap table (emotionally, at least)
