Welcome back everybody, it's this week in Startups and it's our Startup Basic series.

What is Startup Basics?

Well, I could ask a lot of questions over and over and over and over and over again.

And it's exhausting because I have to repeat the same answer.

And let's face it, I have an expertise in Startups and investing in them, but there are

people in specific verticals like legal or finance, recruiting, you know, you get the

idea who have a much deeper and more updated set of knowledge that I don't have.

And so we do the Startup Basic series every couple of years, we refresh them, we talk

to some experts in our circle, the people who we work with and we do this in partnership

with them to try to have files and videos and podcasts where we can point people to this

and say watch this for 20 minutes, watch this for 30 minutes and then let us know what

questions you have.

The specific questions you have after that and then once we have those, Startups tend

to avoid major costly, unnecessary, self-inflicted wounds, which I can tell you in legal and finance

can be very acute and they are very avoidable.

So Scott Orn is with us again to do our finance basics, right?

And you may have seen the first episode where we did basically async your due diligence,

super important.

We did in the second episode of Startup Finance Basics, we did a deep dive on to taxes,

super important.

Always get your taxes, right?

Always have your diligence, right?
