Clara’s latest product updates

Anyone who’s ever ran a business knows it’s a complicated job. Let alone, running a startup. You’ve got thousands of details to follow up on and get right. You typically need to communicate with lawyers, colleagues, investors, and teams – all on different timelines. It takes time, consistency, and a relentless grit to focus on every nitty gritty detail.

 

Our mission at Clara is to make your startup journey as seamless as possible by providing you the best tools for handling all these legalities. With that in mind, we are excited to share with you the latest updates the product team has been working on the last couple of months.

 

In this blog post, we will introduce you to our:

 

  1. Brand new dashboard
  2. Navigation panel addition
  3. US documents option
  4. ADGM tech license

 

We will also explain how these updates can ultimately improve your experience. So without further ado, let’s dive in and explore the exciting new features and updates that are now available to you on our platform.

 

The all-new dashboard

Your journey on Clara just got a whole lot easier now thanks to our brand new dashboard. Our all-new dashboard is designed to make it easier to get to the parts of the Clara platform that matter to you, plus gives you also visibility and progress across a variety of tasks.

 

Once you log into your account you will automatically be taken to the dashboard, consisting of multiple panels with staple actions like: completing profile details, booking a demo, generating an ESOP, upgrading your account (in case it’s not upgraded already) or even sharing your profile, as you can see in the screenshot below.

 

 

Clara’s new dashboard has everything you need to stay on top of your company updates and achieve your goals.

 

Navigational panel

We have also updated our navigation panel to make it easier for you to perform the actions you need. Our new panel provides you with quick access to the different features, allowing you to navigate through the platform faster. For example, you can now add a stakeholder from wherever you are on the platform, without having to go back to the stakeholder map.

 

Options include adding a company, forming a company, adding a stakeholder, and generating documents.

 

 

US documents

We are also proud to announce that we now offer US documents as part of our documents offerings. Our team has worked hard to ensure that our US documents are compliant with all relevant regulations, and we are confident that they will meet your needs.

 

You can choose the type of documents you need by selecting the drop-down menu under the ‘Generate Documents’ section, as shown in the screenshot below.

 

 

 

ADGM tech license

Finally, we’ve launched the ADGM tech license on our platform. If you’re an innovative tech-startup, you can now easily get your low-cost operating license in ADGM from Clara. This means your incorporation application, renewal filings, and ongoing administration processes can all be completed entirely online, with no need for physical paperwork or in-person meetings.

 

 

Wait. It gets even better! The ADGM tech license on Clara takes on average no more than 10 days and has its own set of perks:

 

✅ Reduced licensing fees

✅ No minimum share capital

✅ Flexible ownership options

✅ Open to any nationality

Overall, the latest product releases from Clara have been designed to help ease your user journey and focus on building success. We have worked on introducing the brand new dashboard along with other releases to help you track your company updates faster than ever before and help you achieve more things. But we don’t stop here. We are always looking for ways to improve and make your experience even better.

Raising money for a start-up can take many different forms. One way is to use convertible instruments such as convertible notes, SAFEs and KISSs. When using a convertible, the start-up receives the investment but does not issue shares at that stage. The agreement can 'convert' into shares in the future.

The ADGM and the DIFC are financial free zones in the UAE with independent jurisdictions exempted from the UAE’s civil and commercial laws. For founders looking for a place to register a new business, both are great jurisdictions to choose from.

Plug and Play, Silicon Valley’s largest global innovation platform, has announced a new partnership and investment in Clara, the legal operating system that empowers tech founders to digitally form, manage, and scale their startups.

The key elements of both Founders Agreements and Shareholders Agreements may vary depending on the specific circumstances and needs of the company. There might be overlaps between the two documents, but the difference can be found in the main elements of each.

One way to protect your startup from unfair competition is to include non-compete clauses in your employment contracts. You could also have a non-compete in the shareholders agreement that you sign with your investors.

You want a structure and business environment attractive to investors and venture capital firms. Many investors and venture capitalists say a Delaware C-corp is a good option.

We are committed to partnering with leading companies that move our startup customers forward, so they can move the world forward. We are thrilled to work with the Mintz team to support our growing roster of U.S.-based customers.

A term sheet is a relatively short document setting out the key terms of the investment agreed upon between the company and the investor in user-friendly language. It is also referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It includes the business and finance terms and could include legal terms regarding confidentiality and dispute resolution.

Founders are often risk-takers with lots of energy and great business ideas. And that is fantastic, as long as you remember to set up the correct legal foundation for your venture. Not having the proper legal basis for your startup might be too big a risk. Having the correct legal documents in place is essential for the future success of your startup.

Whether you are looking to attract more investors or make key appointments for your start-up, you need a strong, up-to-date cap table. An accurate cap table gives potential investors the information they need to decide whether they will invest in your venture. It also helps stakeholders to keep track of their interests and shows potential employees what you can offer as stock options.

Guide to investor rights

When we refer to investors' rights, we refer to the legal and financial protection granted to investors when receiving shares in a start-up. It can also refer to certain privileges. In the early stages, a start-up can raise funds through convertibles. The founder will receive the money but does not need to issue shares at that stage.

The initial funding rounds of a start-up are often referred to as seed funding. At this stage, investors invest in the founder, the idea, and the company's potential. That money is usually used for product development and market research. Many start-ups don't make it to the next round of funding.
