About this course
Most entrepreneurs waste money on lawyers for basic questions they could have answered themselves. This MIT course, taught by Joe Hadzima, cuts through the fear and confusion around business law.
You’ll learn the legal nuts and bolts every founder needs: how to choose the right business structure, protect intellectual property without breaking the bank, negotiate founder agreements, and handle equity splits. The course covers real-world scenarios like when to incorporate, what a vesting schedule should look like, and how to avoid common legal traps that kill startups.
By the end, you’ll know exactly what questions to ask a lawyer—and which ones you can answer on your own. No legalese, just practical guidance from an MIT instructor who has advised hundreds of startups.
