Donald Rumsfeld once spoke famously (or should we say infamously) about "known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns". And even though his speech has been mocked, Rumsfeld raises a valuable point that is relevant to emerging businesses.

For entrepreneurs starting a business, the most dangerous legal issues are those "unknown unknowns", the ones that entrepreneurs don't know about until they have overtaken the business.

Uncovering the "Unknown Unknowns" for Startups will identify the key, unfamiliar legal issues that startup companies usually encounter and discusses methods for addressing those issues proactively.

Students will leave the class with an understanding of the inevitable legal risks and strategies to turn those unknown risks into "known knowns."

By the way, thanks for the clarification, Mr. Rumsfeld.

Proceeds from this class will go to March of Dimes (Pennsylvania Chapter) to fund stillbirth research.
