• How many entrepreneurial CA activities are too much?

  - Got into https://fi.co/ accelerator program but failed in the local market so the entire team along with the seed investor decided to not go forward with it anymore. Source: over 1 year ago

• First time Meeting with Possible Angel Investors

  The main take aways I have gained from this experience is. They want things clear, and to the point. Any waffling or lack of knowledge into things like insurance/legal/finance then they get cold feet. In today's climate, pre-seed ideas have less chance then ever with a glooming recession.

  Yeah, just call it a proprietorship until you have a solid reason to incorporate. (i.e. Angel investment and / or liability protection.) Then when you do choose to incorporate, check out clerky.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do I create the company first or do the IDO sale?

  US guy here (not a lawyer), definitely set up the company first and have written stuff in place for what each founder/dev gets. Team disagreements over a multi-sig or distribution can be a killer and are likely going to be your main issue. Also having a corporate entity (even an LLC) shields you from a lot of liability in the case of a bug or funds lost on behalf of users. You can use even an online service...
