Venture.Community x Aether Office Hours
Venture.Community has joined forces with Aether to provide community members with access to legal support without the traditionally costly time and capital commitments.
Aether turns legal from a service into software, giving startups an AI-native platform to handle fundraising, contracts and everyday legal work with lawyers built in where they matter.
Welcome to Office Hours, our monthly legal clinic just for Venture.Community members.
Each month we pick one area of law that founders often need help with and explain it in plain English. There's a short presentation to start, then plenty of time for your questions. Bring the things you've been meaning to ask. That's what the hour is for.
This month covers founder basics and S/EIS.
We will walk through the legal foundations every new company needs in place. Then move on to SEIS - what it is and how to get advance assurance from HMRC before you raise.
It's a great place to start if you're early on and want to get things right from day one.
