Show HN: U.S. Legal Concepts for Founders – Online Handbook
Hi everyone!  I&#x27;m one of the cofounders of Clerky :)<p>We&#x27;ve gotten a <i>ton</i> of questions from founders over the years - this handbook is what we always wished existed, so that we could point people to it.  There are already a lot of great blog posts by attorneys out there, but we thought it was also important to have something that (1) helps founders build a solid foundation of knowledge rather than piecemeal, (2) covers the terminology and practices used across startup law firms (thanks to our incredible editorial board), as opposed to one attorney or one firm, and (3) is kept up-to-date as laws or market practices change.<p>We&#x27;re very excited to be finally sharing this with the community - please let us know what you think!<p>A few notes:<p>* This is very much aimed at startups of the type that might apply for YC one day, seek angel or VC money, etc.  Obviously there are many other kinds of businesses, but it&#x27;s really hard to write something that is broadly applicable, unfortunately.  My apologies in advance to founders of other types of businesses.<p>* The content that we have has been thoroughly vetted, by more top-tier startup attorneys than you can shake a stick at.  That said, the scope of the handbook in terms of topics covered should be considered a first cut, as should the presentation.  We have many articles on the todo list, and also have some ideas for how to better present some of the more complex concepts.<p>Finally, feel free to use this thread as an opportunity to ask any general questions you might have about legal issues for startups - my cofounder Chris and I (we&#x27;re both startup attorneys) will do our best to answer.  Some of our editorial board might pop in from time to time too!
