Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions on the NASSCOM Program
Find answers to common legal questions for startups in the NASSCOM 10,000 Startups ecosystem.
Do I need a lawyer to review the NASSCOM Warehouse incubation agreement?
While the agreement is fairly standard, it's always prudent to have it reviewed by a legal expert. NASSCOM's program is non-equity based, but the agreement will have clauses on program deliverables, IP reporting, and conduct. A review ensures you fully understand your obligations.
When should I think about creating an ESOP pool?
The best time to create an ESOP pool is just before your first institutional funding round. Investors will expect you to have a pool (typically 10-15%) set aside for future employees. Setting it up before the valuation is finalized is more tax-efficient for your employees. We can advise on the optimal timing and structure.
What is the most important legal document for a SaaS startup?
For a SaaS startup, the Master Service Agreement (MSA) or a combination of Terms of Service and a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is critical. This document governs your relationship with your customers, defining service scope, payment terms, data ownership, liability limitations, and uptime commitments. A poorly drafted agreement can expose you to significant legal and financial risks.
