Startup Resources + Coffee
Overview
Meet us in the lower level in the back of Kavarna by the big tables!
"Should I be an LLC or a C-Corp, and when should I make that decision?"
"How do I know if I'm ready to apply for an accelerator program, and what do they actually look for?"
"When should I hire my first employee vs. working with contractors?"
"What insurance do I actually need as a startup, and what can wait?"
"Where can I find local funding opportunities or grants specific to Wisconsin?"
"How do I protect my intellectual property without spending a fortune on legal fees?"
"What HR policies and documentation do I need to have in place before hiring?"
"How do I connect with other founders in the area who are at a similar stage?"
"What are the most common legal mistakes early-stage startups make?"
"Are there any local resources or programs I should know about that could help me grow faster?"
This is a safe space to ask any questions because there are no stupid questions when it comes to building a business.
Why? Because no one should be expected to know it all.
