Did you know that 65% of businesses fail because of a conflict between founders/business owners? Imagine that, it's not because the company has a bad product or service, not because there's no market for the product, not because pricing is off. Simple human dynamics.  Mital Makadia and David Siegel are partners at Grellas Shah LLP based here in Silicon Valley who are both intimately familiar with the common and unusual founder disputes that happen. They're also know how founders can avoid these mistakes. We talk about how to avoid the mistakes founders make from splitting equity, to company formation documents and extremely important tax documents that have to be filed to avoid incurring large tax bills if your business is successful. One of these forms needs to be filed within thirty days of issuing stock. We cover these legal and tax business issues and more in our conversation today.
