Yesterday, I facilitated the weekly Knowledge Sharing Session at @LeapWise_LP on Privacy Policy drafting.
My key takeaway: don’t start with a template. Start with the business, what data it collects, why, who accesses it, and how it is processed.

A founder can have a great product, a growing customer base and a compelling pitch, and still create avoidable problems for an investor during diligence.
The earlier the foundations are handled, the fewer surprises there are later.

But that is precisely why starting at an early stage matters.
You have more room to build good habits before the pressure of a transaction arrives.
