Mike Schulte, Principal at Great North Ventures, joined Robert Weber & Josef Siebert on the Execution Is King podcast to share common concerns of founders relating to startup formation (picking a name, LLC or C-Corp, 1202 Qualified Small Business Sock) and fundraising (liquidation preferences, SAFE notes, board structure). The interview was so great it became our first two episode podcast!
Check it out: Part 1 – Startup Formation & Part 2 – Fundraising.
