Founder Legal Boot Camp 2025: Munich Edition
- Where
- Hybrid Event: Join us online via Zoom or in person at TUM: Arcisstraße 21, Munich (Vorhoelzer Forum)
The Founder Legal Bootcamp is a two-day event designed to provide essential legal guidance to start-up founders, aspiring entrepreneurs and their teams. The agenda is packed with insights from industry leaders and our partner Orrick.
Attendees can also enjoy a networking hour on Friday with catering and drinks.
The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, offering both in-person attendance and virtual participation options.
In addition to the main event, there will be two online-only pre-events: On Tuesday, 6 May and Wednesday, 7 May, both from 18.00 to 19.00. More details of the program, you can see below in the Agenda description.
In the two-day events, we equip aspiring founders with what they need to avoid common legal pitfalls and succeed in their fundraising and scaling efforts. Participants can choose between attending in person and remote, via Zoom. Participation is free of charge!
We share lessons learned from working with countless start-ups with the focus on:
- Founder equity split and setting-up the company;
- Start-up financing (convertible loan and equity financing);
- Employee participation programs (virtual and equity-based);
- Tax pitfalls;
- Data privacy must haves;
- IP must haves; and
- employment law must haves.
These core modules are augmented by additional workshops on topics such as U.S./German holding structures/flips, university spin-offs, and legal aspects to be considered when creating AI business models.
