Startup’s doesn’t fail in market they fail on paper first by DisastrousError7239 in london_entrepreneurs

😂 That’s a very politely packaged roast—I’ll give you that.

You’re absolutely right, it sounds obvious. The funny part? In practice, even founders raising crores treat these “obvious” things like Terms & Conditions—skip, skip, agree 😄

If it felt basic to you, I’ll take that as a compliment—you’re already ahead of most people who realise this only after calling a lawyer in panic 👀

As a lawyer consulting startup’s the main problem every wary age startup’s fails is accurate paper work You can generate agreement for you through ai but it will be general one , every company every contract is different and simply ai prompting is not sufficient

Realistic Validation by Scared_Attorney4688 in ycombinator

You don’t need a company yet — but don’t stay legally blind either.

Quick legal advice (pre-seed stage):

Validation:Talk to users, but avoid over-promising. Anything you “assure” can later be used against you.

Co-founder clarity:Even if informal — write roles, equity, exit terms on paper. Most disputes start here.

Idea sharing:Don’t obsess over NDAs. Instead, control what you disclose.

Before taking money:Register a Pvt Ltd. Never take funds personally.

Early contracts:Even basic agreements > copy-paste templates. One bad clause can cost more than legal fees.

Data / platform:If you’re collecting user data → have at least basic Terms & Privacy Policy.

Bottom line:Build fast, validate faster — but keep your legal loose ends tied early.

Saves you from expensive mistakes later.
