Founder Workshop Series - Session 2: Founders Agreements + Worker Classification
The Garage
11:00 AM
//
The Garage, North Campus Parking Garage/Academic Building
Details
Come to The Garage for this amazing 2-in-1 workshop!
Founders Agreements - Getting Your Deal in Writing
The purpose of this workshop will be to explore many of the terms that founders should discuss at the beginning of a new venture and what agreements should be documented in a founders’ agreement. We will discuss why many founders often skip this step and some of the potential risks not having a founders’ agreement may cause.
Worker Classification (Employees, Independent Contractors and Unpaid Interns)
The purpose of this workshop will be to discuss many of the tests for properly classifying workers. When a new venture is putting together a team, it is important to understand the legal distinction.

The inaugural Northwestern Problem Summit invites the Northwestern community to share the big, pressing problems in their disciplines with hundreds of Northwestern students from across the University, eager to solve big problems in the world.

On February 28th, 2026, the Northwestern Problem Summit will consist of presentations from the Northwestern community sharing the big problems that they hope will inspire action from Northwestern's ambitious, entrepreneurial students. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and connect with others interested in solving the same problems.
