The Early Stage Legal Playbook with Thomas Dorwart
Early stage companies move fast, and legal decisions made early can either unlock growth or create expensive problems later. Join Propel Earth for a founder friendly conversation with Thomas Dorwart, Managing Partner and attorney admitted in New York and Nebraska, with experience across startups, venture capital, M&A, private equity, transactions, IP, and commercial litigation, plus France US and international business.
This session is designed to give founders and operators a clear legal mental model for the first 6 to 24 months. We will cover how to think about formation and founder equity, fundraising readiness, contracts, IP basics, hiring and contractor pitfalls, and how to reduce risk without slowing the business down. We will leave plenty of time for live questions.
