Overview

As a startup founder, you’re busy building product, hiring talent, and driving growth—but the legal and corporate decisions you make early on can have lasting consequences. From entity selection to equity structure, missteps in corporate governance often surface later as costly distractions during fundraising, acquisitions, or leadership transitions.

Join MDG Boston on March 5th either in-person or online for a practical, founder-focused session with Joe Ramadei, Partner at Gennari Aronson, LLP and MDG Boston Board Member, as he breaks down the legal fundamentals every early-stage company should get right from day one.

What You’ll Learn

Joe will share real-world insights from advising startups and growing companies, including:

• Choosing the right business entity to support growth, fundraising, and exit goals
• Founder agreements and equity compensation—how to avoid common pitfalls that create conflict later
• Best practices for working with advisors and boards, using fiduciaries and industry experts as partners and sounding boards
• Key legal considerations investors expect founders to understand before writing a check

Who Should Attend

• Early-stage founders and co-founders
• CEOs and executives at growing startups
• MDG members advising or supporting startup companies
