Jenevra Georgini

About

Spark + Sterling is a solo virtual law firm representing startups and small businesses in New York and Massachusetts. Whether you’re raising money, signing your first (or hundredth) big customer, or just starting out, I offer practical, responsive, and cost-effective legal support. I work with startups from the idea stage through seed funding, as well as small business owners who have been operating for decades. Many of my clients are tackling major milestones: forming a company, raising capital, landing an enterprise customer, developing a new product, or scaling into new markets. I’ve been lucky to work with creative, tenacious founders in a wide range of industries including software, fintech, healthcare, consulting, entertainment, fashion, and food. With 29 years of experience, including at a startup law firm and in-house at a Fortune 500 multinational, I’ve managed through multiple market cycles and closed thousands of deals. I can help with: • Vetting business ideas. • Creating a road map for launching a new product or service, especially in highly regulated areas. • Forming a corporation or LLC and structuring equity agreements. • Preparing investment agreements such as SAFEs or convertible notes. • Advising on your pitch deck, go-to-market plan, and due diligence documents. • Negotiating services agreements, SaaS contracts, key vendor agreements, and more. • Automating your contracts process with templates, fallbacks, and playbooks. • Translating complex legal terms into plain language, so you have the information you need to make the best decisions. If you’re weighing next steps on a new venture, a capital raise, or a key contract and would like a clear view of your options, let’s talk.
