One major mistake that founders make is ignoring industry regulations. Ignorance is not bliss here - disregard the rules and you will see how penalties or shutdowns could mercilessly kill your momentum. I've seen too many fired-up founders get blindsided by regulatory roadblocks that could've been dodged (or at times, they even chose to ignore). Data privacy, sector compliances, employment laws, IP protection - do a deep dive into what applies to you. Don't treat the legal details like a nagging chore - it can actually be your competitive edge. As you scale up, robust processes to stay compliant are an absolute must. A practical tip for founders: Regulatory gaps often also decrease the risk appetite of investors who are evaluating your business - they will often ask you to fix the issues before they invest (which can at times push the investment by months) or you get sent down the road of providing them comfort through indemnities etc., which can at times really take a monetary hit on your business. #regulations #legal #startup #founders
