Briana Yesilli

I’m an Attorney at Cooley, where I specialize in supporting early-stage and high-growth companies. I help founders navigate business formation, venture financing, and intellectual property so they can build on a strong legal foundation. I’m especially passionate about supporting entrepreneurs through fundraising and translating complex legal concepts into clear, actionable steps.

  

QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER

  • What legal steps should I take before raising capital?
  • How does fundraising impact my equity?
  • What are the differences between SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds?
