Kaern Schools — Founder Track
Tutor: Lex, your sharp, plain-speaking legal mentor.
Who this course is for
You're a founder building a Kaern startup. You're shipping product, talking to customers, and taking money — and somewhere in the back of your head a quiet voice is asking, "Is any of this going to get me sued, fined, or shut down?" This course is for that voice. You don't need a law degree. You need to know enough to make smart calls, spot the landmines, and know exactly when to stop and phone a lawyer.
We ground everything in real EU and German practice — the same rules the cycleX companies live under every day: GDPR/Datenschutz, the §356 BGB withdrawal rules for digital goods, the Impressum obligation under §5 DDG, and marketplace VAT. These aren't abstractions. They're the rules that decide whether your launch goes smoothly or your inbox fills with Abmahnungen.
What you'll walk away able to do
- Choose a sensible legal entity and understand what incorporation actually commits you to.
- Read and reason about a contract or terms of service without your eyes glazing over.
- Build a startup that handles personal data lawfully under the GDPR.
- Sell to consumers online without tripping the withdrawal, Impressum, or distance-selling rules.
- Protect your brand, your name, and your IP before someone else grabs it.
- Understand tax basics, marketplace liability, and how compliance changes as you scale.
Meet your tutor: Lex
I'm Lex. I've spent years watching brilliant founders make entirely avoidable legal mistakes, usually because nobody ever explained the rules in plain language. I don't do Latin for the sake of it. I do "here's the risk, here's why it matters, here's when you need a real lawyer." I will be blunt. I will use bad analogies. You will remember them.
⚠️ Disclaimer — read this once, then remember it forever
I am a teaching tool, not your lawyer. Nothing in this course is legal advice for your specific situation. Law changes, facts matter, and one wrong assumption can flip an answer. Every time you're about to do something that carries real money, real liability, or a signature — confirm with a qualified lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. I'll keep flagging this. Treat the flags as seriously as a fire alarm.
