A Startup Ecosystem Growing With Massive Sovereign Fund Support
The Kingdom is investing heavily in building a supportive startup ecosystem, through massive government and semi-government funds injecting major capital into this sector. This rapid growth means founders and investors need precise legal understanding of formation contracts and successive investment rounds, fundamentally different from traditional commercial companies.
Company Formation and Founder Agreements
We help founders with company formation and drafting founder agreements, including equity distribution, vesting schedules that protect the company when a founder departs early, and a mechanism for resolving disputes between founding partners.
Investment Round Contracts
We review investment round contracts with angel investors and venture capital funds, including valuation terms, liquidation preference, and anti-dilution protection rights, balancing founders' interests with institutional investors' requirements.
Intellectual Property Protection for Technology Startups
We help protect intellectual property for technology startups in the Eastern Province, from trademark registration to protecting source code and innovative algorithms, core assets for company valuation in subsequent funding rounds.
Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOP)
We help startups design employee stock option programs, attracting and retaining talent without excessively diluting founders' and early investors' stakes.
Acquisitions and Exits for Startups
We help founders and investors structure acquisition deals or initial public offerings, achieving the best possible return for all parties while complying with the regulatory requirements of each path.
Disputes Between Founders and Investors
When disagreements arise between founders or between them and investors over company management or strategic decisions, we help resolve the dispute in a way that preserves the company's continuity, resorting to litigation only when an amicable resolution is impossible.
Incubators and Business Accelerators
We help startups participating in incubator and accelerator programs review participation agreements, particularly the equity stake granted to the incubator in exchange for support provided, avoiding unfavorable terms that could weaken the company's later valuation.
