Startup 'Talent Raid' Defense

Due to M&A scrutiny, large firms now perform 'talent raids' instead of acquisitions. They poach key teams and license IP, leaving startups as worthless shells. This destroys value for investors and non-poached employees, making their equity useless.

A specialized advisory service can offer a legal defense. By structuring stronger shareholder agreements, IP clauses, and executive contracts, it creates disincentives against coordinated departures, protecting the company's value for all stakeholders.
