Hey everybody, welcome back to this week in Startups. I'm your host, Jason Calicanas. We do a series called Startup Basics. Why do we do this series? Very simple.

I get asked the same questions over and over again. And the answers to those questions are often the same this year as they were last year. Sometimes they change, and sometimes the changes are where Startups, founders, investors can make huge mistakes or find huge opportunity. One of the areas we like to talk about is legal.

Like we also talk about accounting, HR, AI. There's a lot of different topics, but legal is one that is dynamic. There are tried and true strategies that you have to get right, and then there are new opportunities and changes in the law. So we are extremely lucky. Becky deGras is back to do legal basics with me.
