Practice Formation & fundraising
Practice area 04
Formation & fundraising
Delaware C-corp, cap table hygiene, SAFEs and priced rounds, IP assignments, and the founder-friendly boring plumbing.
- Delaware C-corp
- SAFEs
- Priced rounds
- 83(b) / IP assignment
Problems we solve
- You have not incorporated but you already have code, a co-founder, and a demo.
- You are about to sign SAFEs and want the cap table to survive priced rounds.
- You need a clean IP assignment story before you can pass technical DD.
What you get
- Delaware C-corp formation, bylaws, and initial board consents.
- Cofounder agreement, vesting, and 83(b) filings.
- SAFE and convertible note stack, with a pro-forma cap table.
- Priced round documents, coordinated with lead counsel.
- IP assignment from every current and prior contributor, cleanly documented.
What we will not do
- We do not close a round on documents we would not defend to a diligence lawyer.
- We do not paper over a broken cap table. We fix it before it compounds.
How this fits with other practice areas
Most engagements combine two or three practice areas. This one commonly pairs with Enterprise contracts and Open source & IP. When you send an intake, we tell you which combination fits and price the scope in writing before you sign anything.
