Raising capital is key for any start-up. One important aspect of it is certainly choosing the right partners but, on the other hand, it is also key to negotiate terms and conditions in the interest of the founders and shareholders, providing for the right protections and incentives to foster the company’s growth. Clear, effective and balanced commitments by the investors and founders, governance terms, exit rights are very important for the success of the start-up. For this purpose, the legal advisor shall be a proactive partner in the start-up’s growth.

This seminar, organized by ESA BIC Turin in collaboration with RP Legal & Tax, will provide key tips on legal aspects in raising capital such as legal nature of the main documents (term sheet, LOI, investment agreement), due diligence, main important clauses of the term sheet and investment agreement.

The speakers at the webinar will include:

• Marco Gardino, Partner at RP Legal & Tax
