Your official first day is the “start date” listed on your offer letter. Founders will have tasks to complete before their official start date and may opt to have their first individual office hour before their first day.
New founders will be welcomed and introduced to other OCV founders in a shared “OCV Founders” channel on their first day. The “OCV Founders” channel is where you can find important updates and information from OCV.
Founders will be asked to share their 2-sentence company description during Group Office Hours. We recommend spending a bit of time writing a first draft on your first day. New CEOs should review the existing 2-sentence description and may either practice delivering the description or edit the description. The description will be workshopped during individual office hours which may occur before or after your first GOH, depending on your start day.
First-Day Reading List
Please carefully review the following handbook pages on your first day. Please share any questions in your company channel with a link to the relevant handbook page.
Legal Requirements
Founders must file their 83b elections and provide proof of mail to the legal team. Notwithstanding personal tax implications, 83b elections can impact a company’s tax withholding requirements in the future, which is one of the due diligence items during later financing rounds.
Systems
Founders should confirm access to all business systems on their first day. If you have trouble accessing a system, reach out to OCV in our shared channel.
