SUMMARY:How to advise disruptors
DESCRIPTION:‘This can’t be right – why didn’t somebody tell me that?’ ‘Ev
 en though I am a disruptor\, I do not like surprises from lawyers\, inve
 stors’\, etc. Key do’s and don’ts in being or advising a disruptive busi
 ness and entrepreneur. This session will be a highly interactive\nexchan
 ge among disruptors\, the audience and the chairs to share practical use
 ful insights derived from ‘disruption war stories’.\n\nTopics will inclu
 de:\n• We need to ‘lawyer up’. Does the disruptor need his or her own la
 wyer separate from any company counsel? Are some lawyers better at repre
 senting disruptors? Disruptive companies? We need a cultural translator:
  can the lawyer and disruption coexist?\n• We must choose a structure. H
 ow soon should anyone care? From the start\, should we consider ‘KISS: k
 eep it simple stupid’ or complex arrangements driven by tax and other le
 gal considerations?\n• Do we own the keys to the kingdom? Who owns the i
 ntellectual property? How soon should a disruptor care?\n• We need help!
  Who are the best ‘partners’?\n• We need to raise more money or sell! Wh
 at can be shocking about Angels\, VCs and private equity\; pricing and d
 ilution issues?\n• Shouldn’t even disruptors adopt more professional Boa
 rd practices?
