Startup + venture counsel
Startup and Venture Capital Attorney for Founders, Investors, and Growth Companies.
Jason Gershenson is a New York-based startup and venture capital attorney who works with founders, investors, startups, venture-backed companies, and growth-stage businesses on financings, commercial contracts, governance, M&A, and outside general counsel matters.
Scope
Legal work for companies and investors in motion.
Financings and company growth
Support for SAFE rounds, priced equity rounds, investor diligence, term sheets, closing mechanics, and the corporate decisions that shape the next round.
Commercial and operating work
Customer, vendor, SaaS, services, data, licensing, partnership, and strategic agreements reviewed with the business objective in view.
Governance, M&A, and outside GC
Board and stockholder approvals, corporate housekeeping, acquisition readiness, strategic transactions, and recurring legal judgment for growing companies.
Useful legal counsel should clarify the business decision, not bury it.
The work is practical, direct, and calibrated to stage, leverage, urgency, and downside. Some issues need a fast answer. Some need tighter documents. Some need a conversation before they become expensive.
