9 guides

Foundations

The decisions you make in the first few months are the ones investors examine first. These nine guides cover getting the basics right from day one: your name, company set-up, co-founder agreements, equity split, articles, customer evidence, first product, finances and SEIS/EIS eligibility.

Included with every Future Founders and Founders Ticket, along with the whole library (117 guides, worth £2,925, 12 months' access).
