1. First, we are seeking advisors
2. Find lawyers, before any HR and funding contracts
3. Lean marketing, before an MVP
Seeking advisors, a board, and cofounders
We have a strong focus on HR and law, at the start.
Some say that early legal work is the best predictor of surviving and success.
Hiring a legal team early
Which status? (nonprofit vs. C corp./ US-based vs. international).
Then our first incorporation (role of board, investors, CEO, equity, board insurance)
Getting the legal side done with care is a wise and strong first step.
