Six stages, one firm the whole way.

The decisions you make at formation show up again at every round and at exit. We work on all of them, so nothing gets lost between stages.

02Stage by stageT.01 to T.06

What we do at each stage.

T.01 / Entity formation

Set it up for where you're going.

Before you file, we look at ownership structure, tax and future growth. A company formed with its first financing and its eventual exit in mind avoids expensive clean-up later.

T.02 / Intellectual property

Make sure what you build stays yours.

We handle federal filings and the contract drafting around them, so the company owns what its founders, employees and contractors create.

T.03 to T.04 / Venture financing

Every kind of round.

We work on financings for the companies raising money and for the investors putting it in:

  • Angel and seed rounds
  • Accelerators
  • Venture capital
  • Crowdfunding
  • Debt
T.05 / Expansion

New investments, partnerships and markets.

As the company grows, we run our own diligence on every deal it takes on, whether that's an investment, a partnership or a move into a new market.

T.06 / M&A

Growth through acquisition, or a clean exit.

Some companies grow by buying others. Some are bought. Either way, our Corporate / M&A group works on the deal alongside the lawyers who already know the company.
