QSBS For Founders & Startups

​Goodfin is teaming up with CapGains for a founders-first session on the most powerful — and most overlooked — tax benefit in startup equity: QSBS. We'll break down how Section 1202 can exclude up to $15M (or more) in capital gains from federal taxes, how to lock in eligibility from day one, and how to extend the benefit to your team and earliest backers. Built for founders who are building now and who want to keep what they earn.
