Precipice IP is a Founding Member of Grit Studios in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas.

Each month Angela will discuss the legal tools necessary to successfully launch and maintain a technology-focused business. Angela will provide real-world guidance on de-risking disruption and will show emerging companies how to use intellectual property to get a leg-up on the competition. The format will be a facilitated discussion among a small group of peers, so the content is designed to be relevant to the needs of the attendees.

The first five events of Table Topics Tuesday Series: The 9 Legal Secrets Every Entrepreneur Should Know To Achieve A More Bodacious Business were "Protecting Your Ideas," "Selecting the Right Business Entity," "Protecting Your Investors," "Hiring Employees the Right Way" and "Managing the Ownership of Product Designs."

The upcoming topic to be discussed on August 14th centers around "Building Supplier-Proof Products."

Future topics include the following:

• September 11 - "Running Your Brand Like a Boss"
• October 9 - "Assessing Risk Before Selling Products"
• November 13 - "Managing Your Business To Make Money Moves"

"Always an advocate for the small businesses, Angela makes IP easy to understand and accessible. I loved the casual roundtable discussion and found immediate ways to protect my business. Can't wait for the next session."
