Frequently Asked Questions
Should startups use NDAs with investors?
It depends. Early-stage investors (angels, VCs) often refuse to sign NDAs before initial meetings. However, NDAs are appropriate for detailed due diligence discussions where proprietary technology is shared.
What should a startup NDA cover?
Startup NDAs should cover: proprietary technology, business model, customer data, financial projections, and any other information that would harm the startup if disclosed to competitors.
Do I need an NDA with my co-founder?
Yes. A co-founder NDA (often part of a co-founder agreement) is important to protect the startup's IP and confidential information, especially if the co-founder relationship doesn't work out.
