If you’ve decided the startup route is the one you are most interested in, what are the questions you need to get answered next? For example, how do you protect your IP? How do you structure your company for the startup and later stages and retain your equity? What are the rules and best practices around hiring? How do you pitch to investors? How do you find investors?

These questions and more will be addressed by an online panel whose expertise includes: evaluating startups and their potential, funding, legal questions, HR, growth planning and more.

On Wednesday, March 26th, 1pm EDT, VIEW online at the CommerceLab YouTube channel: youtube.com/theCommerceLab
