David Raynor was interviewed by Chile's largest newspaper, "El Mercurio," regarding startups from Chile that are incorporating in Delaware and moving to Silicon Valley. It wasn't his first time in El Mercurio; in 2010 his picture appeared on the front page in connection with Concha y Toro's acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards: http://www.emol.com//vina-concha-y-toro-compra-por-238-mil

Congrats to our client BitPagos on their acquisition!

We are pro bono outside counsel to an innovative non-profit, Mission Centaur (www.missioncentaur.org) whose aim is to put a telescope in orbit with the object of specifically viewing Proxima B. Proxima B, a planet in the "habitable zone" orbiting Centauri Proxima, has long been suspected but TODAY was confirmed (using mathematical proofs, not by direct observation). This article contains information on the discovery and on Mission Centaur: http://www.cnn.com//proxima-b-centa...uri-rocky-pl/index.html . This project is deeply appealing to us for many reasons. As startup lawyers we love supporting the people whose nascent ideas grow into incredible discoveries, innovations and technologies. A generation ago space exploration required the resources of governments, and only recently have billionaires like Bezos and Musk begun to undertake these types of missions. Now, small groups of committed scientists, using the resources committed by ordinary citizens, can undertake space exploration and are on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. Wow! I can't tell you how excited I am by this discovery and this new model for space exploration, and we are proud to play a small part in supporting it. Watch the short documentary below to learn more about Proxima and Mission Centaur!

Let’s face it every dollar counts when you are going from zero to funded or cash-flow positive. And good startup lawyers are expensive! While you will undoubtedly need to hire one at some point, you can minimize the cost by allowing them to do what lawyers do best providing advice, both legal and strategic rather than filling out forms, putting out fires, or fixing mistakes.
