Becki DeGraw on founder vesting, advisor equity & the 4-term-sheet play

All right, everybody. My favorite time of the year, I get to do startup basics. What is Startup Basics? Very simple. There are things you need to know. That are simple and basic, but they're important. They're foundational in being a founder. And if you get these things wrong, whether it's accounting, product, market fit, sales, or legal, they can have downstream effects that you will then spend 10 or 20 times the effort to clean up than if you had just known your basics.

We keep all of these at this week in startups dot com slash Basics so that you can remember. And Becky DeGras back with me. She's from Wilson Consini, Goodrich, and Rosati. We call them WSGR here in the valley. And we're going to talk. Today.
