Welcome back to this week and startups. I'm your host Jason Calicanus, you know me.

And we are going over Legal Basics in a special series with my friends over at Wilson Cancini.

Becky DeGra is back with me.

She is a partner at Wilson Cancini.

She has been there since, I think, 2007.

So over a decade at the same firm, you might have heard of this firm, they literally incorporated

Google, so they know what they're doing.

But they really love working with young startups.

In fact, I got to think, Becky, working with the young startups versus the big ones,

it's kind of more fun to work with the earlier stage ones, isn't it? The big ones have tons of

lawyers, tons of like complex issues. It's a lot of fun to work with the small

startups, isn't it? It is, it is. When I started many moons ago at Wilson, Cincinnati, I did a little bit of everything. I worked with startups. I ventured into, you know,

capital markets and did also public company representation. And I never really liked

the public company representation or the capital markets piece.

So now I like solely focus on private companies.

Early to late stage all across the private company life cycle, but I'm on that side.

I love working with

entrepreneurs and growing with them. Yeah I mean it's just such a nice feeling in a

way we have a very similar job which is I when companies go public they kind of

forget that I was the third or fourth investor in Uber.

I mean like Dara once in a while will retweet me but and he met me at a party and he's like oh yeah

thanks for the support and I was like great you want to have lunch from he's like I can't even get a meeting with the guy the third investor
