QSBS for Angels & Founders: What Changed After the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and What to Do Now

Shareholder Noam Lipshitz will speak on a virtual Sacramento Angels' panel titled "QSBS for Angels & Founders: What Changed After the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and What to Do Now" on March 5 from 12:00 - 1:00 pm PT.

The panel will cover:

• What changed (and what didn’t) after the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and how it should (or shouldn’t) affect behavior

• QSBS basics (brief refresher): core requirements and why timing + issuer facts matter

• How this plays out in real angel deal structures: SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds - when you actually “hold stock” and what documentation matters

• Founder coaching takeaways: early steps to preserve QSBS potential (clean mechanics, documentation hygiene) plus how LLC/S-corp founders may consider restructuring into a C-corp to benefit from QSBS

• Watch-outs: where surprises tend to arise (secondaries, buybacks/redemptions, conversions, restructurings) and when specialized review is warranted

• Actionable close + Q&A: “what I’d do differently starting tomorrow” for investors and founders
