Legal Support (formerly known as “QB3 Startup in a Box”)

Get your startup off on the right foot: Incorporate through one of our blue-chip legal affiliates, who provide support at no charge.

For qualified life science companies, our affiliated law firms offer incorporation at no charge. Typically founders elect to incorporate as Delaware or California C-corporations. 

Our legal affiliates may also offer introductory discussions of corporate or intellectual property matters at no charge. In some cases they are able to defer fees up to $25K until a company’s first funding round.

In general, companies developing biotechnology or pharmaceutical technologies are eligible for support. For medical devices and health technology, we refer companies to the UCSF Rosenman Institute, which spun off from QB3 in 2022.
