Faculty at Cornell University and attorneys at law firm Wilmer Hale collaborated to publish this free resource for entrepreneurs (PDF is also loaded below). The purpose of this booklet is to help startup founders to think early about key items that will set them off on the right legal track.
The booklet covers basics like entity formation, founders agreements, equity incentive plans, tax issues, bank setup, accounting and financial statement basics, HR issues, intellectual property concerns and insurance. The booklet was launched in November 2023 and will be updated over time.
