color:#1F497D'>Just extending on William&#8217;s warning &#8211; boilerplate legal<br />
documents are <i>Very Convenient&#8482;</i> and great if you need a cheap legal<br />
document to tick a box for some cosmetic, unimportant reason; but usually <i>Not<br />
So Great At All&#8482;</i> if it ever comes to actually <i>disputing</i> them. Which<br />
is kind of the point of a legal document in the first place. Boilerplates as a<br />
rule are horrible in any situation where the outcome of any dispute is<br />
important or critical to you. If it&#8217;s critical, the cost of getting the<br />
agreement drafted by a competent lawyer is 200% worth it. Remember that the best<br />
contract is one that keeps you out of court in the first place. That is best achieved<br />
by ensuring all parties are clear on what is being agreed and providing an<br />
effective non-legal dispute resolution mechanism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";<br />

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";<br />
color:#1F497D'>If you&#8217;re not willing to work with a lawyer, the big question is<br />
&#8211; why do you really need a legal document? If you don&#8217;t need it don&#8217;t use it,<br />
because it will be harder to understand and probably won&#8217;t save your neck if it<br />
ever goes to court (often leaving you worse off than if you had no legal<br />
document). We once used a boilerplate contract and later when we had our lawyer<br />
look over it, were advised that it was only enforceable by the other party &#8211; the<br />
worst possible scenario. (We promptly amended the contract!) The most important<br />
things about a contract is establishing intent and obligations, and a clear<br />
mechanism for dispute resolution. If you&#8217;re not willing to work with a lawyer,<br />
you&#8217;re probably better off with a clear non-legal document that everyone<br />
understands &#8211; e.g. Keep It Simple and Sweet (for all parties). If everyone&#8217;s<br />
happy, there&#8217;s no dispute!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>When it comes to equity or partnerships, my emphatic (but<br />
non-legally-qualified) advice is Work With A Lawyer (else, be clear that you&#8217;re<br />
relying upon goodwill &#8211; and go out of your way to preserve it).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Sorry everyone but IMHO<br />
this is the worst investment i&#8217;ve seen suggested for a very long time, and I<br />
seriously doubt the integrity of the website.</p>
<p>None of the figures on this add up:</p>
<p>14 x 16 video slots = 224 squares.<br />
224 x £350 per video = £78,400<br />
But you are hoping to raise $1m (should that be £1m?)<br />
You need 2,857 videos to raise 1 million.</p>
<p>You say half a million will go to businesses, yet then state 50 businesses at<br />
£5k each = 250,000</p>
<p>£5,000 will indeed help a lot of businessesm but this is a lottery, not a<br />
grant.<br />
Why pay £350 for a 1 in 200 chance of winning £5,000 ??<br />
This is business suicide.</p>
<p>Small business advertising is crazy and very difficult to get right.<br />
Spend that £350 on MARKETING<br />
Spend that week of effort that WOULD HAVE gone in to editing said video on<br />
driving your business forward instead &#8211; If there&#8217;s one thing small business do<br />
not have enough of it is time. Do not waste it on distractions like this.</p>
<p>Whoever put this site together really didn&#8217;t think it through, or at the very<br />
least has completely mis-communicated it.<br />
Think before you spend your money people!</p>
<p>Rant over.</p>

This bit of the conversation reminded me of www.beprofessional.com (introduced to
me by Michelle Bray from this group) which even in its free, Lite version has
plenty of good resources for the startup:

<p>Great ideas in this email.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Meriem I think Smarta is a great source of info for entrepreneurs<br />
(congratulations on your 3 months!) </p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to add as feedback that it will be awesome to get some kind of legal<br />
support, not only in the form of Q&amp;A&#8217;s from your legal partners but also in<br />
the form of legal documents such as shareholder agreements, contracts, terms<br />
&amp; conditions and so on, the basics in order to give a hand to all of us who<br />
are trying to make it for the first time, or second or even third and don&#8217;t<br />
have the cash to pay expensive lawyers/solicitors!</p>
<p>
All the best,</p>

I &nbsp;think it is an excellent idea to collate the invaluable information<br />
that comes through this forum &#8211; so that it is searchable at a later date &#8211;<br />
often content does not appear relevant at the time, but later such nuggets of<br />
wisdom can make the difference between success and failure.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Not sure if this has already been mentioned, or if anyone can be bothered -<br />
but I think its a good idea.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Phillip mentioned a similar concept in a previous mail, where he&#8217;s collated<br />
a list of the best places to find icons, as suggested by this list (<a<br />
href="http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264"<br />
target="_blank">http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I read most mails that come through this list, and I&#8217;ve seen an outrageous<br />
amount of invaluable content recommended: videos, podcasts, angel investor<br />
networks, funds, events, blogs, sites etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>
So, the question I ask is, do we think it might be a good idea to collate all<br />
this in some sort of searchable area? Might not be a wiki, but I&#8217;m going to<br />
have a look anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

Hey Bill
&#160;
Has your therapist given you permission to go out in public
again?
&#160;
I can&#8217;t tell you how happy I am that the weather has turned for
the better &#8211; I hate drying out the bank notes after a day at the ATM.

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Mike</p>
<p>Perhaps you can help us. We&#8217;re seeking a talented Lead corporate recruiter for<br />
an engaging and worthwhile message board. Duties will include going through my<br />
inbox and deleting spam (ahem), and provide stress-massages for when I get<br />
frustrated about recruiters sending me random messages and wasting my time.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, there is already mixed opinion on this board regarding<br />
people posting about looking for work <i>for themselves</i>. I&#8217;m going to guess<br />
(though I speak for no-one but myself) that we <i>don&#8217;t</i> want this board to<br />
turn into one more tool for recruiters throwing any opening they might find at<br />
us and hoping something sticks. If a line has to be drawn in the sand regarding<br />
job-openings and positions wanted, it might be between individuals looking for<br />
themselves and recruiters engaged in business for others.</p>
<p>What other people think about this, I&#8217;m listening.</p>

<p class=ecmsonormal>I signed up about 7 days ago &#8211; just plain and simple<br />
registration, nothing else. Had a brief look at the site and decided to check<br />
out details after long meeting. Came back from the meeting and saw my inbox<br />

redirected all emails to junk. I had never subscribed to any email lists nor<br />
consented to one.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I signed up about 7 days ago &#8211; just plain and simple<br />
registration, nothing else. Had a brief look at the site and decided to check<br />
out details after long meeting. Came back from the meeting and saw my inbox<br />
flooded with about 24 emails &#8211; I never logged back into the site again and<br />
redirected all emails to junk. I had never subscribed to any email lists nor<br />
consented to one.<o:p></o:p></p>

emails &#8211; as opposed to receiving every single email?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Not 100% sure, but that functionality is available on most forum type<br />
platforms<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>So, instead of getting every reply, you&#8217;ll just get the one daily email?<o:p></o:p></p>
