Why This Exists
Most founders meet a lawyer for the first time when something has already gone wrong. By then the contract is signed, the co-founder has left with the IP, or the funder has asked a question nobody prepared for.
The StartUp Legal exists to move that meeting earlier. Templates for the documents a business can handle itself, and counsel for the matters that carry real consequence: a deal, a raise, a contract that changes the shape of the business.
