summary
Five concrete steps walk from garage project to global scaling: choose corporate seat (CEE vs Western vs offshore) with practical tradeoffs, set up a simple company fast (UK company ~€14 to register), formalize founders with a shareholders agreement that adds vesting with cliffs and exit/notice rules, nail IP by contract and trademarks, and run employee equity in stages from spreadsheet to options (employee equity tiers). Practical examples, costs, and contract clauses show what to sign and when.
