About

My name is Izwan Zakaria, I run a KL based corporate law firm, Izwan & Partners.

What topics do I write about?

I write about legal matters based on my day to day experience as a startup lawyer in a startup’s lifecycle, including incorporation, cofounders, advisors, grants, accelerators, shares options, convertible notes, SAFEs, seed rounds, venture capital, and so on.

Sometimes I may also write “non-legal” posts, but they will usually involve entrepreneurial lessons, startup events, or recent regulatory updates or news.
