From Space Startups to Founder Equity | 3 Steps Every Founder Must Take First

One bad decision can kill your company. Not in theory — in real life. In this episode of Founder to Founder, I sit down with Rick Citron — startup attorney with 50+ years of experience who has helped launch over 2,000 companies, from garage ideas to multi-million dollar exits. We break down the real legal and structural decisions that define whether a business survives — or collapses. 💡 What you’ll learn: • The first 3 legal steps every founder must take • Why most startups fail before they scale • How to structure equity the right way (and avoid founder fights) • What actually kills deals — and how to prevent it • Stock vs options vs phantom equity explained • Why giving away equity too early destroys companies • How rollups and acquisitions increase valuation • Why mentorship is not optional for serious founders This is not theory. These are decisions that cost millions — or save your business. 📌 Want to break down your business or structure the right way?
