The Law for Founders by John Wires 💡 Essential Read for Every Canadian Entrepreneur
The National Crowdfunding & Fintech Association (NCFA) is thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our founding members and esteemed advisors, John Wires (JW), as he launches a must read book for every Canadian entrepreneur, "The Law for Founders" or as we like to call it Founder Law. It's a toolkit to empower founders, entrepreneurs, and innovators to 'stick handle' the legal and strategic challenges involved with building a successful business.
About the Author
Author, John Wires
John Wires is a champion of innovation and seasoned Canadian corporate lawyer since 2013 (the year we met). JWs friendly, fair, and direct approach combined with a deep understanding of both the legal and entrepreneurial landscapes made him a cornerstone of the NCFA community in the early days. At that time, we learned that JW played in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), a very high level of hockey. It taught him how to battle and compete to win. A trait that many high level athletes transfer into successful business careers and ventures. Since then, he's dedicated his career to helping entrepreneurs reduce legal risks, close successful deals, and build thriving companies in a multitude of high growth tech, e-commerce, and digital media sectors. Now, with Founder Law, he's sharing his expertise in an accessible and actionable format that promises to inspire and guide founders at ever stage of their journey.
