Experience matters in finding the right Startup Lawyer. Because of his own entrepreneurial experiences in building two SaaS startup companies as General Counsel Andrew can relate to what you are going through in creating a SaaS or software product, issuing founders’ stock, raising capital from friends and family and participating in the marketing and sales processes. 

What separates Andrew from other Tech Startup Attorneys? Experienced and timely legal advice and unmatched personal service as Andrew is accessible to all clients via cell and text throughout the workday, nights and weekends. Also, Andrew doesn’t play tricks like some other law firms which promise no additional fees as part of their startup package only to find out that you are limited to a certain amount of time to ask questions about the work that was done for you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT WHEN JOINING A STARTUP

Even if you have the best idea and you believe you have enough funding it is still going to take much longer than you think to build and scale your startup. You’re also going to need a lot more money than you think to not only build and scale your company, develop a robust application or product but also implement and run monthly sales and marketing campaigns. You are also likely going to struggle at first through the sales and marketing processes as selling and marketing web based software to the Enterprise is difficult at best.

What Andrew learned as a 2x SaaS entrepreneur is that the term “start grind” really does exist and that you need to find a way to deal with the ups and downs, the successes and the failures and the flat-out grind of working in a startup. A startup is not a sprint, but rather, it’s a marathon and you need to be able to balance your work life with your family life and realize that your startup might not make it. 

As a startup founder you need to learn to have patience. Entrepreneurs who have never been in a startup don’t really know what to expect in terms of just how much time you need to put in just to have a chance at being successful. Typically, in the beginning things move slowly. You are looking for money, developers and ultimately clients and all of these things take a lot of time.

One thing is absolutely certain about a startup which is that if you don’t have a sufficient amount of funding and sales won’t be kicking in for while you better figure out how to raise capital. 90% of startups fail for a reason. The biggest reason is probably lack of money or the ability because of lack of experience to fundamentally understand just how much money your startup will actually need to survive. 

You have to look at being in a startup like creating a recipe that has never been done before. You can sit around in a room with your partners and write on boards and come up with great ideas but until you start writing code and actually create or build something you will never know what you have. That’s why it’s important to define roles early on and only go into business with other people if they are going to add immediate value to your company. You can never be certain of success but if each person in the startup stays in their lane and performs their job functions for sure the company will run more smoothly than everyone trying to do everyone else’s job.  Defining roles also helps in terms of creating a business plan and raising money. A serious investor is going to want to see a well written business plan with each founder having a defined role in the company. 

You Have To Put Your Ego Aside When You Join a Startup

Nothing destroys a startup faster than burning through capital. A close second is ego. When you put more than two individuals in a company that needs to scale to become successful and everyone has their own opinion about how to do everything then eventually egos are going to get in the way. Ego can destroy a startup and cause founders to leave the company. It is really important before joining a startup that you meet one on one with each founder to assess if there are any ego issues that you believe are insurmountable. 

Building a Startup Is Not a One Person Job

Anyone who thinks that they know how to build a startup has never attempted to do software development, sales, and closing deals by themselves. It takes really talented individuals to have a chance all together to build a successful startup. Finding co-founders should not be done quickly. You want to make sure you have the right fit with your partners. You need to take your time choosing your co-founders to make sure you get along with them and that you share the same vision about how you see the company executing on its business plan. You don’t want to be in a position down the road where you want to take the company in one direction and your co-founders see it differently.

You Need To Make Sure That All of The  Intellectual Property Has Been Assigned By Founders and Creators To The Startup

Not a month goes by where Andrew doesn’t speak to a startup founder who explains that they have not incorporated let alone assigned any of the intellectual property created collectively by all co-founders to the startup. This is a recipe for disaster. If you are contemplating joining a startup that has not taken the appropriate business and legal steps necessary to protect its intellectual property you need to assess the situation with legal counseling of your choosing to determine if in fact that startup’s intellectual property has been compromised.

You don’t want to spend time and money and join a startup if its IP has not been locked down with the company owning it. It would be disastrous for the company if a founder who created all of the IP up and left the company and didn’t assign his or her rights to the IP to the company. This would likely cause the end of the startup and create a situation with some very angry investors. It is more than likely that no serious investor would take the risk of putting their capital into a startup unless all of the founders or creators assigned all of their rights to the intellectual property to the startup.

Before you join a startup you need to find out if the company is using IP created by an individual outside the company or another company? Does the startup have written consent or a license from the owner of the technology to use it? If not, the startup runs the risk of being sued and you don’t want to be an owner of a startup getting sued for infringing upon the IP rights of another company.

Issuing Stock To Co-Founders

Before joining a startup you should learn how much stock has been issued in total and to whom. Tell the co-founders you want to see a cap table. Individuals who are contributing the most or are sacrificing the most in the early stages of a startup should receive more equity than others who are not putting in as much time or contributing capital. If a co-founder leaves his day job and has no salary why shouldn’t he or she get more stock than co-founders who remain in their day jobs and collect a steady paycheck. Shouldn’t the founder who created the startup’s application get more stock than the salesperson who might not even be needed during the first year? 

Investors care about how much stock has been issued, to whom, how much stock remains and do any other investors have preferential rights to purchase more stock.
