U.S. LLC Founders 🚨 : Your Delaware Franchise Tax is due JUNE 1, and missing it can get expensive. Even if your LLC made zero revenue, you're still required to file and pay the Franchise Tax by June 1 to keep your company in good standing. Here’s what happens if you miss it: ⚠️ $200 late penalty ➕ 1.5% monthly interest ➕ After 2 years of non-payment, your company becomes inactive, and you’ll need to file a revival, which comes with additional fees and delays. Letting this slip can affect your ability to raise capital, sign contracts, or legally operate your startup. ⏳ Don’t take that risk. At Lazo, we help startups stay compliant: https://lnkd.in/d2z_93mW

Flavors that spark real connections 🍽️ Founders, creators, and early-stage investors keep showing up, not just for the food, but for the energy that comes from gathering around a shared table. This week, alongside our friends at Wollen Labs, we hosted yet another food-focused hangout in NYC. It's become a near-weekly tradition: making something delicious together while swapping ideas, stories, and startup lessons. We’ve tried ramen, crafted pizzas, folded empanadas… now we’re thinking ahead. What should be our next culinary excuse to bring the community closer? Dumplings? Arepas? Tacos? 🌮🥟

SAFEs vs. Convertible Note: What’s the right choice for your startup? If you're raising early-stage capital, chances are you've heard these tossed around. But understanding how they actually work, and which one protects your startup better, is key to making the right call. ✔️ SAFEs: No interest, no maturity, simple agreement for equity later. ✔️ Convertible Notes: Short-term loan that turns into equity, with deadlines and interest. We broke it down for you in this quick guide so you can choose with confidence. 👉 Swipe to compare both options side by side. Need help deciding what’s right for your startup?

A Founder Vesting Agreement (FVA) 🔒 is crucial for protecting your startup from the start. It ensures that equity is earned over time, rather than handed out upfront. Without it, you risk messy ownership, founder disputes, and investors losing trust. A 1-year cliff means that if a founder leaves before 12 months, they get zero equity. After that, equity vests gradually, aligning contribution with ownership. This agreement keeps your cap table clean, reduces conflicts, and shows investors your commitment to building for the long haul. Don’t gamble with your startup’s future. 👉 Book a call with our legal team today: https://lnkd.in/dTvD3V86
