CoMotion Labs presents, “Top Ten Ways to Screw-Up Your Startup" with Andy Albertson. Andy Albertson, partner at Fenwick and West LLP, represents companies at all stages of development, ranging from mature public companies to founding teams with a business plan and a vision, as well as many venture capital and private equity investors. "For early stage companies, I ensure that they are built for and that we are always planning for future success. Because I have seen hundreds of deals (and eat, sleep and breathe start-ups), I provide good and practical advice as to key deal terms, alternative transaction structures and how to avoid pitfalls – I not only offer “pure legal” advice, but also work to optimize economic and other business terms and generally serve as a trusted advisor. "With all my clients, I provide practical and thoughtful legal advice with the primary goal of solving real world problems and I am extraordinarily client service focused. "I am passionate about what I do and I have fun while doing it. I am honored to be a trusted advisor to some of the most innovative technology and life sciences companies in the country." Each Fundamentals for Startups session has a topic and an area expert providing key insights and knowledge regarding the topic in a 40 minute seminar format followed by a Q&A session. All seminars will be video captured and live streamed. Light refreshments will be served. These sessions are open to the public and you do not have to be currently affiliated with UW or a startup to join. We hope to see you there! |
