We get a ton of film and music producers, directors, writers, and artists, reaching out to MediaTech Ventures asking about establishing their business or finding funding.
Here's what we want you to do
This past week, Ilya Zlatkin met with some of the founders in our early stage incubator, reminding us that most have the same fundamental LEGAL questions: about agreements, entity type, and intellectual property. Follow his firm: Zlatkin Cann Entertainment - https://www.linkedin.com/company/zlatkincannentertainment/
He makes a point that we're going to paraphrase (because as lawyers always remind, "consult with a lawyer," since we're probably not capturing precisely what was said) that great *startup* lawyers would make themselves available to answer any question you have. You don't need to hire a lawyer, necessarily, as you can and should find one that will advise you; making themselves available for hire IF/WHEN you actually need representation or the work they do ❤️
How you proceed formally is indeed mired in a series of questions best suited to a lawyer, given where you live, what you're doing, and how. As you move on to seeking investors, having someone exceptional, such as Ilya, on in your corner is a brilliant and easy decision to make.
