Protect yourself from costly lawsuits
Directors and Officers (D&O) is the essential protection solution for investors and startup founders.
Why D&O?
Any company or startup that has raised capital or has a board should be protecting management from lawsuits. These could result from actions or decisions of the management or board members.
Reduce risk
Personal assets are at risk if you are sued over a decision you made on the company's behalf. The typical cost of a lawsuit to a startup in Southeast Asia exceeds $200k.
Attract the best
Competition to attract the best leaders is fierce. With the protection of D&O, it enables leaders to take the risks necessary to grow the business without having to worry about unexpected lawsuits.
