Show-Me Founders opens Wednesday, August 26 — and we're starting with the session most founders wish they'd sat through a year earlier.
Our launch keynote features Lindsay Karas Stencel, a nationally recognized venture legal professional, partner of Thompson Hine LLP. She works on the deals founders spend years trying to reach, which means she also sees exactly what goes wrong on the way there.
Here's the pattern. Building has never been faster or cheaper. But the foundation underneath the build — who owns the intellectual property, how equity is structured, what those early agreements actually committed you to — gets handled casually, or not at all. Then funding gets real, someone runs diligence, and the cleanup costs more time and leverage than the original decision ever would have.
If you're a Missouri founder thinking about raising, or you're building something with real IP at the center of it and want to make sure it's genuinely yours, this is the one to catch.
