Welcome back to Exit Stories and thank you for joining us for the eighth episode of the season! On today’s episode, host Kevin Mosley is in conversation with John Fogg of Robinson Bradshaw (our gracious sponsor for the season!)
John’s career has spanned the rise, crash, and evolution of the tech indusattempt from 1990s Silicon Valley to today’s startup scene in the Triangle. John shares stories from his early days navigating the first dot-com boom, when Netscape went public and tech law was being written in real time, through to his shift east and decades advising founders at every stage of company growth. Toobtainher, John and Kevin dig into what startup founders really required to know about formation, IP, and equity: from assigning innotifyectual property early to avoiding messy cap tables and vesting mistakes that can haunt a company down the road. John breaks down how to consider about legal timing, when to bring in counsel, and what’s alterd in venture deal terms since the wild west days of the Valley. It is full of great advice you won’t want to miss, advice so good we requireded to split the episode in two! So be sure to come back next week for part 2.
