Portugal Tech Week 2026

The Startup Legal Roast: Top Mistakes That Kill Your Startup

Real startup horror stories. Costly founder mistakes. Free food, drinks, and attendees receive the best pen at Web Summit!
Every startup founder worries about running out of money. But some of the biggest threats to a startup come from legal mistakes founders never saw coming.
Join José Padilla, CEO of LegalMente AI and founder of Lex Padilla, an AI-boosted U.S. business law firm for international startups and investors, for a fun, interactive, and eye-opening session exploring the legal mistakes that can seriously damage—or even kill—a promising startup.
We'll roast some of the most common startup legal blunders, share real-world horror stories, and invite founders to bring their own burning legal questions.
Whether you're launching your first startup, raising capital, or scaling internationally, you'll walk away with practical insights to help protect what you're building and ultimately save you money.
And because Web Summit shouldn't be all work and no play:
🍕 Free food and drinks!
🖊️ Every attendee gets the best pen at Web Summit!
🔥 Bring your toughest startup legal questions. We'll bring the roast.
