Join this online education session, co-hosted with the Swiss Startup Association, where you will get useful tips, practices and opportunities when working towards an IPO, further learning how to adapt them to your own startup journey. The goal of many startup founders is an IPO. But besides bringing fame, possibility to raise equity capital from public investors and an exit option, an IPO also comes with many challenges. In the United States, startups go public much earlier in comparison to other countries, and often trends starting in the US take some time before reaching in Europe. Will we see an increase in the number of startups reaching IPO level in our region, and will you be among this next wave of successful companies? You will get the answer on following questions: • What are the pros and cons of becoming a public entity vs. staying private? • Do “going private” activities make it more difficult to IPO? • Where is a listing possible for growth companies? Don’t miss this opportunity to explore trends and provide insights on navigating the IPO process. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/g5RWQh7G #Startup #StartupJourney #IPO #Webinar

Last week, we were delighted to co-host a webinar with the Swiss Startup Association focused on navigating the legal complexities of cross-border hiring. Key takeaways: - As a general rule of thumb: the employment's day-to-day reality superceeds what is contractually stated. - "Freelancers need to be free" It might backfire if you hire a freelancer but make them work for you like a "normal" employee. - Always be informed about minimum wages, social security and termination rules, as well as overtime regulations in the jurisdiction that you are hiring. - Be aware of cultural differences and what the sensitive issues are in the respective country that your employee is working from. Awareness will help you avoid running into trouble. - Last but not least: get things right at the beginning of the employment to make sure your company is protected. Litigation usually happens at the end of the employment. Thank you to all participants for your great interest and active participation, and thanks to the speakers Carol Tissot, Dr. Christina Mennemeyer, Giovanni Iannacchino and Nicolas Etcheparre. #Employment #CrossBorderHiring #Webinar
