THE FIRST MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION SOLUTION SPECIALIZED IN STARTUPS AND MICRO TO SMALL ENTERPRISES

Starting a company is a thrilling journey that starts with a dream fueled with passion, innovation, and a drive to make a difference. A group of friends or colleagues join hands to start their own business with a strong faith in the power of their relationship that it will stand firm against all challenges or temptations of the journey they are about to start.

Unfortunately, statistics show the opposite. More than 60% of startups fail as a result of disagreements between co-founders. These Conflicts do not impact the startup's potential growth only but also lead to damaging the relationships resulting in bitterness, grudges, and in many cases, lawsuits along the way.

At Startup Judge, we believe that there are preemptive measures that could be taken along the way to strengthen the relationship between founders and avoid conflicts.

STARTUP JUDGE UNIQUE PROPOSITION

While there are a lot of legal advisory and consultancy firms that could arbitrate or mediate business conflicts in situations that are relevant to unicorns and large organizations. There are a few – if any – that have the experience to make decisions in the context of startups and small to medium enterprises. In this context, quantifying the value of important parameters like “Sweat Equity”, “Good Will”, “Idea Value”, ”Opportunity Loss”, and “Value Creation” are more important than analyzing balance sheets and P&L statements.

AT WHICH STAGE A STARTUP WOULD NEED THE STARTUP JUDGE

IDEA VALIDATION STAGE

Make sure your product or business idea has potential to minimize the risk of implementing ideas that no one wants or isn't willing to pay for.

ESTABLISHMENT & LAUNCH PHASE

Is the growth after your company's establishment phase, but before the business reaches full maturity.

DURING CONFLICTS

Conflict includes missing, incomplete or ambiguous information, environmental crashes, lack the appropriate skills or a clash of personal values.

FEELINGS OF UNFAIRNESS
