0A: Avoiding the Legal Traps from Day One

​Your idea is disruptive, but a simple legal mistake can kill your startup before it launches. From messy co-founder agreements and choosing the wrong legal entity (GmbH vs. UG) to surprise tax bills, the "boring" stuff can become your biggest nightmare.

​This workshop is your defense. We're bringing in the heavy hitters to give you the playbook.

​Learn directly from Dr. Thomas Fox, a top-ranked (now retired) partner with 25+ years advising multinationals on complex tax and corporate transactions, ranked by top publications like Chambers and JUVE. He’s joined by Andreas Scheidle, LL.M., a powerhouse lawyer and tax advisor (formerly Latham & Watkins) who guides major VC and PE deals for a living—including IVP's investment in DeepL.

​They will cover the critical basics, but the real value is the extensive live Q&A. This is your chance to ask elite advisors the questions you can't just Google and get your startup journey started right.
