Why Every Early-Stage Startup Needs a Proper NDA

Protecting Your Ideas

In the early days of a startup, your most valuable asset is your idea and the unique way you execute it. When you're talking to potential partners, vendors, or early employees, you're often revealing sensitive information.

What an NDA Actually Does

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) creates a confidential relationship between parties. It legally binds someone to keep your "secret sauce" a secret.

Common Pitfalls

1. Being too broad: If everything is confidential, nothing is.
2. Being too narrow: Leaving out key parts of your business.
3. Mutual vs. One-way: Choosing the wrong type for the situation.
