Tung, Mike Rogers, Christian Mark, Caroline Elliott, Stacy Greco, Will Richardson and the rest of Interplay.

No matter what type of company you run, you’re likely to have to consider when and how to provide equity compensation to your employees, consultants and advisors at some point in the company’s lifecycle. Equity compensation can be complicated and confusing and it’s one of the topics we discuss with our clients frequently. So, with that in mind, we wanted to do a series of posts on the topic – starting with a high level overview of equity compensation, and digging into more complicated concepts and philosophies in the weeks to come! #bowerylegal #equitycompensation #startuptips #venturecapital #employeequity #startuprequity

To kick off a new season of the pod, I sat down with Patrick Butler, Founder CEO of BizDefender. Patrick, a seasoned founder with deep technical expertise, discusses his latest venture, BizDefender, a company co-founded and developed in Interplay's foundry. BizDefender addresses the growing epidemic of fraud targeting small and medium-sized businesses. The conversation delves into the various types of business fraud, including hacking, social engineering, and brand spoofing. Patrick explains how BizDefender is stepping up with a simple, accessible solution, including a free-tier product, to help businesses monitor and mitigate these fraud risks, which are often invisible yet devastating. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to fraud, with median losses that could cripple many companies. BizDefender aims to provide a much-needed defense, offering tools to monitor dark web activity, protect against phishing attacks, and offer human support to navigate the complex landscape of fraud prevention.
