Agatha: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! I am a lawyer for new companies who are changing the world through their products and services! Most of my clients have never started a business before, so they look to me to help them make sure that their company can be successful and legally sound. Lots of tricky issues come up when you start a business, such as how to hire employees, how to protect your name and your brand (your intellectual property), and how to handle disagreements. We help our clients solve many of the problems that they face in their businesses!
Evan: I’m glad to be here, Spiffy! Upfront Ventures is one of the largest early-stage investment funds in Los Angeles. We are champions of the Southern California ecosystem and we also invest in emerging companies nationally and internationally. We have a passionate and curious team of investors that strives to select and nurture leading industry startups. Most importantly, we are committed to helping build the next generation of founders who are looking to make a significant impact with their ideas.
Finnegan: Thanks for the invite, Spiffy! If you're trans or nonbinary, products aren't designed with your needs in mind. Both& is addressing this gap by creating a brand that designs in direct dialogue with the community.
