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. We highly recommend attending on site for a more engaging experience, direct exchange with the speakers, valuable networking with fellow founders, and full catering included.
In addition to the main event, there will be two online-only pre-events: On Tuesday, 09 June and Wednesday, 10 June, 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!
