Kassim Legal | How to Structure Your Startup for Investment & Exit | Founder Institute Workshop

Описание: In this legal workshop delivered with Founder Institute Türkiye (December 2025), Kassim Legal breaks down the legal foundations every startup must understand before raising capital.

The session covers how founders should structure their companies from day one, not just for operations, but for investment and exit.

Key topics include:

• HoldCo vs OpCo structures
• Where to register (Delaware, ADGM, Cayman & more)
• Tax considerations founders often misunderstand
• Founder Agreements (vesting, good/bad leaver, drag-along, ROFR)
• SAFEs and early-stage fundraising mechanics
• ESOP structuring and equity incentives
• Designing your company for M&A from the beginning

One key principle discussed throughout the workshop:
Start at the end — and work backwards.

Most startups do not IPO. Most successful ones exit via acquisition. Your legal structure should reflect that reality from day one.

This session is designed for:
• Early-stage founders
• Startup operators
• Investors
• Tech entrepreneurs in MENA and beyond


If you’re building, fundraising, or restructuring, this session will help you understand the legal architecture behind successful startups.
