Seed stage is where your startup gains real momentum. You’re building the product, hiring the team, and starting to scale. Legal gets more complex, but the right support keeps you moving. This checklist helps you focus on what matters most: raising your first big round, building your team, landing key customers, and protecting your tech. This guide breaks down the legal essentials into simple, actionable steps, so you’ll know exactly what’s done, what needs attention, and what’s left to tackle. Stay investor-ready and legally strong as you scale. By now, some of the legal foundations should already be in place from pre-seed. If not, check the pre-seed checklist to get up to speed.

Founding a startup is hard. Messing up the legal part makes it even harder. No more guessing, forgetting, or scrambling through post-its.

It covers what really matters early on: setting up your company, splitting equity, protecting your IP, hiring your first team, and staying investor-ready. It's made to help you track what’s done, what’s missing, and what to tackle next, based on what’s actually worked for other founders like you.
