Startups
Startups must make decisions quickly as they develop their business and raise capital. Founders' roles and equity interests, investor rights and compensation arrangements for key personnel affect future growth and management, making it important to clarify expectations and terms from the outset.
KUDO reviews issues at each stage of growth, including incorporation, shareholder arrangements, fundraising and stock options. We consider the business model alongside the investment terms and clarify the obligations of founders and investors. Taking account of the impact on future funding and expansion, we distinguish decisions that need to be made now from matters to prepare for later.
