You’re Probably Building the Wrong Regulatory Strategy

A live founder workshop using Clarifi’s structured decision engine to identify product classification, market pathway, and hidden risk before scaling.

Many startups unknowingly make product, AI, and claims decisions that fundamentally change their regulatory pathway long before they realise it.

This interactive founder workshop uses Clarifi — a structured regulatory decision engine for early-stage companies in health, AI, digital health, and regulated technology — to walk through live startup scenarios and product decisions in real time.

Rather than a traditional compliance lecture, the session is designed as a practical “regulatory reality check” where founders explore how intended purpose, software functionality, AI use, marketing claims, and clinical impact influence classification, evidence expectations, FDA/MDR pathway logic, and commercial strategy.

Participants will see how the same product can move between wellness, medical device, or AI system depending on how it is positioned and developed.

The goal is for founders to leave with clearer strategic direction, a better understanding of hidden regulatory risk, and a more structured framework for making product decisions before expensive mistakes compound.

This workshop is designed for founders, product teams, and early-stage operators building products in health, AI, digital health, biotech, or other regulated sectors who want clearer strategic direction before scaling.

KallioLaw

Legal Readiness for Fundraising:
What Startups Must Have in Place Before Talking to Investors

Raising capital is not only about pitch decks and traction. Investors also look closely how startup is legally structured. This workshop hosted by Kalliolaw Attorneys is delivered as a 50-minute interactive session for approximately 30–40 participants. Unlike a stage talk or panel discussion, it offers the attendees a more focused environment for direct engagement and practical discussion with highly experienced start-up lawyers. The session covers the core legal readiness areas startups should have in place before fundraising, including company structure, shareholder matters, IP ownership, contracts, compliance, and common legal red flags that can delay, complicate, or break a deal.
