Dual Advisors: Don't Get Burned: Legal & Financial Landmines for Startups
This month's theme - Don't Get Burned: Legal & Financial Landmines for Startups
This interactive workshop will be led by Charlie Pascal (Startup & Venture Law Specialist) and JP Puchulu (Finance Consultant & Fractional CFO).
Startups move fast, but legal and financial mistakes can trip you up months or years later. From equity splits to early fundraising terms to how you pay people, foundational decisions matter.
Charlie and JP have worked with hundreds of early-stage ventures, helping them avoid the most common missteps that derail growth, scare off investors, or lead to costly do-overs.
You’ll leave this session clearer, smarter, and with actionable insight you can use immediately, even if you're pre-revenue or pre-raise.
Here’s What to Expect:
💥 A focused theme relevant to early-stage and growing startups
👊 Rapid-fire Q&A from founders >> no topic off-limits
⚖️ Dual perspectives: One from legal, the other from finance
📉 Candid insight, hard truths, and practical advice
💬 Real scenarios, not theory >> and no B.S.
