Nobody starts a company thinking,“Today feels like a great day to accidentally break the law.”
Yet here we are. 😬
“I Didn’t Know This Was Illegal” is a wild but very useful conversation between serial entrepreneur Simon Osborne and Thailand’s go to startup lawyer Parin Kienthong (Tim) about the mistakes founders make right before things go very, very wrong.
We are talking about the stuff nobody warned you about.
Company setup. Shares. Hiring. IP. Fundraising.
The innocent looking shortcuts that grow teeth.
No legal jargon.
No corporate theatre.
No fear mongering.
Just real stories.
Real mistakes.
Real lessons from the battlefield.
You will leave with
- Street smart understanding of Thai startup legal traps
- Founder tested insights, not textbook theory
- Better questions to grill lawyers, co founders, and investors
- Confidence to make decisions that will not blow up later
Built for pre seed founders, first time founders, operators, and anyone crazy enough to build in the startup ecosystem.
If you want to move fast without breaking everything, this one is for you. 🚀
