Startup Boards Course – Serving as a Director of an early stage angel-backed company is a serious responsibility. This course reviews the smart practices of forming boards, managing board meetings and serving as a Director—all with the goal of creating an effective governance structure for startups. Key topics will include the legal obligations and risks faced by Directors, how to deal with conflicts of interest and how to navigate trouble zones (such as managing M&A) that occur during a company’s journey from initial investment through exit. Participants will engage in a case study exercise which illustrates the impact (both positive and negative) that a Board structure might have in determining the success or failure of a start-up.
