Ultra Light Startups: Legal Roundtable

Tue, 05 May 2009 04:56 GMT

Tuesday, May 19, 2009
6:30 - 8:00 pm

Ultra Light Startups: Legal Roundtable

The Ultra Light Startups Legal Roundtable is an informal forum in which technology entrepreneurs ask questions on legal topics and have them answered by attorneys from top law firms specializing in fields of interest to tech startups. Attendees will benefit from having their own questions answered and also by listening to the answers provided to others.

Unlike other Ultra Light Startups events there will be no "introductions by elevator pitch" at the Legal Roundtable and anyone can attend. We hope this format will be a great value for entrepreneurs seeking to understand the legal landscape for startups without engaging in costly private consultation. Please come prepared with a list of questions.

Topics:
* Forming a company
o LLC or Delaware C-Corp.? Any difference if not U.S. citizen?
o Separate holding co. outside of the U.S. for I.P. and other digital assets? Parent or subsidiary?
o Can people outside U.S. own U.S. assets/stock in U.S. companies? If so, what limitations or challenges?
o Founder's stock -- restricted stock or options? Vesting or not?
o What else? Consulting versus employment.
* Financing
o Friends and family (includes credit cards) / angels -- common or preferred stock? Valuations?
o What are the pros/cons of a VC-style preferred stock round?
* Intellectual Property
o What's the difference between/among copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets?
o Can I copy someone's web site? Can I copy an article posted on their web site? Can I link to their web site?
o Terms of use - should I post them ("browsewrap") or have users affirmatively agree to them?
o Privacy policy - do I need one? Why did Sony just pay a $1 million settlement to the FTC when Sony had a very good privacy policy?
o Any issues with third parties advertising on my site?
o Any issues with user-generated content (such as a blog) on my site?

Panelists (alphabetic order):
* Joe Daniels, Sr. Counsel, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP
* Jennifer Morgan, Sr. Associate, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP

Though women-owned businesses are facing the same economic difficulties as other businesses across the country but they appear to be coping with the difficulties in such a way that they are surviving and in many cases thriving when other business are not. In fact, according to a recent survey of National Association of Women Business Owners� (NAWBO�) members more than half say they have no plans to reduce employment and nearly 25 percent say they actually plan to add jobs this year. This is not surprising as woman entrepreneurs are use to starting businesses on a shoe-string budget without outside capital, they are known to be overly cautious about hiring full-time employees and often opt to use freelancers, they grow their businesses gradually based on grass roots market demand and not at the instance and pressure of outside forces. The results are strong and sustainable agile companies that are not racked with debt and bogged down with unnecessary employees. They are therefore able to quickly respond to changes in the market.

If they can do it - so can you!
