LIVE ATTENDANCE BONUS
Attend live, in person or online, to book a private 30-minute consult with Lindsay. Spots are limited.

Who it's for

Founders with a co-founder, a contractor, a first hire, or AI in their workflow. No experience required.

What you leave with

An IP-protection checklist

The contracts and founder agreements you need

Clarity on AI-generated work and data rights

A private 1:1 with Lindsay on your situation

The Problem

Most founders ignore IP and contracts until something breaks: a co-founder leaves, a contractor claims the code, or a customer contract says something nobody read. AI adds a new question: who owns the work it helps create, and the data you feed it?

The Session

Lindsay covers what IP you can protect, the contracts and founder agreements every startup needs, and where AI-generated work and data rights stand today. Then the clinic opens: live attendees can book a private 1:1 about their own agreements.
