$10,000 Legal Services for entrepreneurs: Rutan & Tucker
Thanks to Sponsor Rutan & Tucker, all OCSC Member startups can get first class legal services at great rates from a local law firm that's been serving Orange County entrepreneurs for over 100 years. Qualifying local startups can get help with early stage corporate matters like company formation/incorporation, fundraising negotiation or documentation, trademarks, etc.
