Founder Legal Boot Camp
2025 Southwest Edition

This was the seventh edition of Orrick’s Founder Legal Boot Camp: Together with the University of Stuttgart, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and TUM Venture Labs Heilbronn we brought the FLBC to the southwest, again in cooperation with RWTH Innovation and WHU Entrepreneurship Center. We were super excited to host this amazing group of some of Germany's top tech and entrepreneurship universities.

We shared lessons learned from working with countless start-ups with a focus on:

• Founder Equity Split and Early Cap Table Composition
• Start-up Financing Overview and Convertible Loan Financings
• Term Sheet Deep Dive – Equity Financings
• Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Must-Haves
• IP Must-Haves
• AI Business Models – Getting the Legal Stuff Right
• Employment Law Must-Haves
• Expensive Tax Pitfalls in the Early Stages
• U.S. German Holding Structures and the Delaware Flip
• University IP Spin-outs
• Employee Stock Option Plans (Virtual Programs, Hurdle Shares and Sec. 19a EStG Shares)
