ScaleUp Speaker Series Palo Alto Winter/Spring 2025 - Week 1: Incorporating a Startup

You’re invited to Morrison Foerster’s ScaleUp Speaker Series Palo Alto—a complimentary series that will provide insight into the legal side of founding a startup. This weekly seminar will arm you with the knowledge needed to manage the legal aspects of launching, funding, and growing a startup, with insights on how to avoid common mistakes that can have serious consequences down the road.

We are hosting this cycle of ScaleUp Speaker Series as a hybrid event, offering participants the option to either attend virtually or in person in our Palo Alto office at 755 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA. For extended Q&A sessions and networking opportunities, we strongly recommend in-person attendance. Complimentary lunch and parking will be provided.

Topics covered by this one-hour session include:

• Choosing the right form of legal entity (e.g., corporation or LLC?)
• Incorporation process and key documents
• Organizational matters (including founder stock issuances and assignment of IP)
• Post-incorporation concerns (including aggregation of IP and creating equity incentives)

For an overview of the topic, kindly view this brief video.
