In The Room Series - April 2024

Join us every fourth Thursday of the month for a discussion with experienced attorney and executive Gera Grinberg.

April's topic is: "Entering (and Exiting) Partnerships: 

What should you think about as a “prenup” of sorts for entering a partnership, including who (which partner) is going to do the work, can you have another job, who is going to manage the company, who is going to own the IP, can you bring others into your “marriage” / partnership, etc. And, of course, what happens when a “divorce” occurs.

---------------

THE HOT SEAT! 

April's Hot Seat will be Don Derosa with Eonix! Don will be taking the "hot seat" for a one minute pitch with lively Q&A from Gera and attendees!  Good luck Don!
