MORE ABOUT SUP AND HOW WE HELP STARTUPS

Born from years of startup experience

You’ve poured your heart into your innovation and are eager to launch your business. However, your options for legally setting up your company to be venture capital ready and managing your cap table are limited. You could spend hours searching through countless sources on YouTube, CooleyGo, Venture Hacks, and various blogs and FAQs, which may or may not suit your needs, or you could hire an expensive venture law firm.

That’s why we created SUP. We’ve built a platform that offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional attorney billable hours and the uncertainty of the DIY approach. With SUP, you get the best of both worlds, plus unique benefits you won’t find anywhere else.

And our support doesn’t stop there. We’re committed to being your partner every step of the way. Whether you’re scaling your business, navigating additional funding, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations, facing employment-related decisions, or preparing for a sale, we have our Venture Best team of lawyers, investors, and entrepreneurs here to provide the guidance and resources you need. Together, we’ll help your business thrive and achieve its full potential.
