If you plan to raise venture capital, a Delaware C-Corporation is the standard structure. VCs and institutional investors expect it because of the flexibility in creating different classes of stock. If you are bootstrapping or plan to stay small, an LLC may offer more tax flexibility.
Key terms include subscription scope and limitations, pricing and payment terms, data ownership and privacy provisions, service level commitments, limitation of liability, and termination and data portability rights. Enterprise customers will negotiate many of these terms.
Timing depends on your growth rate, market opportunity, and capital needs. Your attorney helps prepare the legal infrastructure for fundraising — clean cap table, proper incorporation, intellectual property assignments, and investor-ready documentation.
Start with proper intellectual property assignment agreements from all founders, employees, and contractors. Then consider trade secret protections, trademark registration, and patent filings where appropriate. Confidentiality agreements and clean development practices are essential.
