Let's bring the light to your case: Eldison Startup Mafia event, big contracts & cyber rules

The Founders' Underground: Startup Mafia

‍

We’re organizing The Founders’ Underground: Startup Mafia, a side event of the Engaged Investments Conference, on 21 October at Národní dům na Vinohradech in Prague.

The panel will explore the “startup mafia effect”: why companies like PayPal, Skype, Exponea and Mews go on to seed entire startup ecosystems.

Joining us on stage are Matthijs Welle (CEO, Mews), Uršula Králová (Chief People Officer, Bloomreach; former COO, Exponea) and Jason Smith (CEO & Co-Founder, TRIFFT; ex-Exponea). Together, they’ll discuss how strong companies build owner-minded teams, what makes entrepreneurial talent thrive, and what people take with them when they eventually go on to build ventures of their own.

It’s a closed-format evening for founders, scaleup leaders and investors. If you’d like to join us, register here.

Enterprise contracts: what to watch out for before you sign

‍

Landing a big enterprise customer feels like a win. But the contract that comes with it can bring risks your startup isn't set up for yet.

• Uncapped liability and indemnities
• Audit rights and SLAs you've never dealt with before
• Security promises your team needs to actually be able to keep

Before you sign, ask yourself: not just "can we sign this?" but "can we actually deliver on it?” Read more details here.

A new Czech cybersecurity law is casting a much wider net, and there's a good chance you're already caught in it

‍

• Scope: jumped from around 400 organisations to a potential 10,000
• Who's covered: any business, any size: cloud providers, e-shops, healthcare, municipalities and more
• Why now: NÚKIB is actively reaching out to organisations that may be in scope but haven't registered yet

Got a letter from NÚKIB and not sure what to make of it? We unpacked what a notice does (and doesn't) mean, and what happens if you just...let it sit. See all the details.
