Paid Services
We offer paid services ourselves and together with partners as a complement to our free materials.
We have carefully selected the people we work with to ensure that you, as a startup, are met by someone who understands your stage and your needs.
Consulting by a StartupTools Co-Founder
At StartupTools we are working hard to support the eco-system. Our primary way of doing that is through our platform, free templates and the keynotes we give at incubators or with other partners.
But sometimes you just need to talk to someone and get some help. Not in general, but in a specific situation. We are here for you.
Services
Co-Founder Consulting
Book an hour with one of our Co-Founders to get help.
If you have questions on if Qualified Employee Stock Options would work for you, want our take on how to sort out a founder split or what is a normal cliff for a CEO warrants program – we are happy to help you out.
Example Topics
- How do I decide the price and volatility for a warrant program?
- What should our Articles of Association cover?
- Is this QESO program within the normal range?
- In depth, how does cliff & vesting really work and how should I think about it?
Please note
If what you are looking for is a law firm, see our partner offers below (we vouch for them). Also, a lot of good information can be found in our library & help section.
That said. We love talking to our users.
