Financing rounds can make or break your startup

How do you make your investors happy without compromising your own interests and the interests of your startup?

What concrete steps do you need to plan for so your financing round goes smoothly and closes quickly? How will certain choices you make today affect your company tomorrow?

What legal documents do you need?

The future of your company may depend on how you handle these important issues.

Get an experienced partner at your side

We specialize in supporting startups during financing rounds and will make sure your startup’s interests are protected.

During the negotiations with your investors, we’ll work hard to craft a win-win solution for all parties involved. Your investors want your company to thrive, too. We’ll build trust between them and your startup to lay the foundation for a successful collaboration.

We will:

  • advise you on your fundraising strategy and other related questions,
  • manage your convertible or equity round,
  • negotiate with the investors together with you or on your behalf,
  • draft all necessary legal documents,
  • advise you on regulatory compliance and other legal issues.
Experienced and pragmatic

I’ve worked with EMBARK.LAW in countless financing rounds already. I appreciate their clear, efficient and lean process and the direct communication. EMBARK.LAW manages negotiations in a solution-oriented and pragmatic way and creates trust between the parties right from the start. You can tell the amount of experience involved.
