They make it all sound so easy, but the truth is they will have had some solid advice throughout the journey.

People to help them get their house in order at every stage of the business lifecycle. Stage like:

Getting the business started and ensuring you have good agreements in place to protect your cofounders
Making sure the right IP structures are in place.
