Anil Advani — Co-Founder

I am an advisor, lawyer, angel investor, and mentor to early-stage startup founders in silicon valley and across the world. I advise early-stage start-up companies from 2-3 "guys in the garage" to global multinational corporations from inception through the life-cycle of the venture, negotiating angel and venture financings, customer and licensing transactions, and mergers and acquisitions. Over the last 19 years working at powerhouse law firms like Cooley Godward and Orrick Herrington, and now Inventus Law, I have represented over 3,500 startups, angels, and founders, and have been involved in almost 500 financing and M&A transactions valued at over $5 billion in the aggregate. I have made over 120 angel investments in companies across the spectrum, from healthcare, financial services, to software and enterprise saas. I am licensed to practice law in the U.S. Supreme Court, California, New York and India, and have represented U.S based investors and Companies in investments, acquisitions, and strategic expansion with India based companies, as well as 100's of startups from India, Singapore, Europe and South America in setting up operations and closing financing and M& A transactions in Silicon Valley. I also have an active practice representing global companies that are part of YC, 500 Startups, Startup Chile, Tandem, Alchemist, Fabric and other accelerators and incubators. Inventus Law is my own entrepreneurial venture with the primary goal of providing experienced legal counsel to start-up companies in a much more cost-effective, responsive and founder friendly manner than any of the "big"​ law firms out there. Lawyers at Inventus Law love helping founders of startup companies navigate the many pitfalls a startup usually encounters, and have worked with companies in a wide spectrum of industries, and going through varied lifecycles, from self-funded, seed funded to fast-growing $100M+ Companies.
