Our Techstars Deal

SLS will waive the first $5k of legal fees for companies in the current cohort that are referred by TechStars. No retainer required.

Filing, expenses, and any non-SLS specialist fees will be paid by the clients on regular invoice cycle. Waiver will not apply to any fees for services related to dissolution of the company. If the company raises money in a preferred stock financing (Series Seed or Series A) and uses SLS, then up to $5,000 in fees related to the initial corporate work will be completely waived once the company pays off all other fees due and payable to the law firm, including the fees incurred in the Series Seed or Series A financing. If the company: (i) raises money in a preferred stock financing using a different law firm, (ii) sells its assets or is acquired prior to a preferred stock financing, (iii) doesn’t plan to raise a preferred stock financing, or (iv) switches firms, then the fees will not be waived, and will become due and payable immediately.

Having built the 159 value prop via professional services, I can recognize and greatly value when teams go above and beyond, and are driven purely to ensure client value and satisfaction. It was a pleasure interacting with each one of you, and the expertise, patience, ninja-negotiation techniques and EQ that everybody showcased made this a painless process for me. You are all a great team, and in case I get lucky to go through a similar process again, I would look to SLS in a heartbeat

I can't thank you all enough for the incredible support, guidance, hard work, ideas, patience and all manners of help through this process from little things (and there are no little things) to major ones. It was intense, compressed and unrelenting - we control the schedule and events - yet we don't. We could not have done this without help from each of you.

Founders and others often ask me who they might hire as their business attorneys, in part because I’ve been one and in part because I’m a founder who does business. For the past year I’ve been letting them all know they should without question hire Silicon Legal Strategy…Simply put they rock!!!!
