Startups : cómo deben estructurarse jurídicamente para lograr un crecimiento desde etapas tempranas con miras a un Exit
This study examines the legal structures applicable to early-stage startups, with the aim of identifying the most suitable vehicles and corporate types to promote growth focused on achieving an exit. The research includes a review of the legal frameworks in the United States, the most influential country in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and a comparative analysis with Colombian legislation to propose relevant solutions and recommendations. The analysis will focus on three main areas: (i) corporate types, (ii) shareholder agreements, and (iii) investment vehicles. These categories are key to evaluating whether the existing legal structures in Colombia allow startups to operate efficiently and achieve their growth and scalability goals. Through this research, the goal is to determine whether the Colombian legal framework is optimal for the development of emerging companies or if there are significant barriers that hinder their progress.
