well, I did eventually get to Barcamp Ottawa. The parking lot outside Bitheads is a skating rink, which made for interesting parking.
I cohosted a session with Michael Dunlevy from Labarge Weinstein on founders agreements. Labarge has a very complete package of agreements which would have been very useful when we were setting up iotum. the discussion was pretty free ranging and complete. I’m willing to bet it will be one of the best attended sessions of the day.
Michael compares founders agreements to a will. They cover the “what-if” scenarios where things go wrong. What if one founder has to take a job? Dies? Disagrees with the other founder(s)?
lf you’re starting a company, it would be prudent to give Michael a call.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
