The Startup Law Clinic is going on its 6th year of representing startups primarily in the technology space. Within the last few years, we have already helped launch and incorporate almost 50 startups. Many of these startups have closed multiple rounds of early stage and venture capital financing, and a few have had exits via acquisition. Some of our clients have received funding from some of the top venture capital firms in the country and have been accepted into Silicon Valley accelerators to continue to grow their startup. The clients coming through our doors have spanned the technology sector including edtech, health technology, social community platforms, augmented reality, drone technology and countless other exciting areas.
