FOR FOUNDERS

We Help Founders Build The Legal Foundations For Their Dreams

 

Under the supervision of top venture capital and startup lawyers, UC Law SF students provide free legal services to get startups on their feet.

 
 

We help founders at a critical stage.

To get past their initial stages and seek investment, startups need critical assistance in setting up their legal structures.

We help startups focus on their business.

With help from us, out startups can let experts supervise their legal issues while the founders focus on other crucial aspects of their business and product development.

Our companies go onto do amazing things.

Startup Legal Garage alumni have exited for millions of dollars, received funding from the NIH, and won the Nobel Prize.
