Prenup the latest must-have for tech startup founders

THE young woman in Monica Mazzei’s San Francisco law office was adamant: She wanted a prenuptial agreement.

Never mind that the client had barely anything to her name. What she had was a bunch of startup ideas. She and her fiance, who already had his own small tech company, signed a prenup with clear terms, Mazzei said: “The spouse who has an idea [and] starts a business ‘owns’ that business. It’s their baby.”
