Legal Hour with Tom & Carlos - what to be aware of when signing standard terms

Published: Aug. 26, 2020, 5:04 p.m.

b'Tom and Carlos are back with another episode of the Legal Hour podcast where they\\u2019ll walk you through the standard terms for term sheets, advisory agreements, and founder collaboration agreements and why founders shouldn\\u2019t blindly just use templates available without proper diligence. \\n\\nThe term \\u2018standard documents\\u2019 came along not only from wanting to absorb the lessons learned, but also to introduce some level of simplicity in rather complex legal agreements. However, what is defined as \\u2018standard\\u2019 changes depending on various external variables that alongside others include how competitive the market is currently. So, if the standard terms aren\\u2019t static, but rather continuously shifting, what should founders look out for before placing their signature on any of them? \\n\\nTune in to hear from Tom and Carlos as they\\u2019ll walk you through the most important elements that aren\\u2019t typical and should be adjusted to a specific company\\u2019s needs. \\n\\nThe key resources mentioned:\\nSeedsummit - https://seedsummit.org/\\nYC SAFE - https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/\\nResources by Tom - https://tom-wilson.com/\\nBlog posts by Carlos - https://thedrawingboard.me/\\n\\n\\n\\nLinks\\nCarlos Espinal - twitter.com/cee\\nSeedcamp - www.seedcamp.com\\nTom Wilson - https://twitter.com/tom_wils\\nBlog by Tom - https://tom-wilson.com/\\nBlog by Carlos - https://thedrawingboard.me/\\nYC SAFE - https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/\\nSeedsummit - http://seedsummit.org/'
