Rita Trabulo, Startinnovation Team's Managing Associate, writes an opinion piece for Emagazine on what a start-up should have in mind, in legal terms, so as not to deviate from the path of the unicorn.
The dream of many entrepreneurs to see their startups with a market valuation of over a billion dollars, transforming them into real unicorns, requires a good business plan, a legal strategy that follows the startup. According to this Lawyer, there are 5 main topics to keep in mind: the cap table and decision-making process, the new partners and the stock option plans, the possible exit of the founders and other partners, the investment and the shareholders' agreement that sets the terms under which you may exit the startup.
"Even focusing on partners' relationships and creating the pillars of the corporate structure, which is essential for the start-up's successful path to the unicorn label, it's already clear that the legal themes are merged into the business and growth strategy outlined for the startup. A good definition of the resolution of blockages and the creation of control mechanisms by the founders will help at the time of investment entry, as well as at the time of exit", says Rita Trabulo.
