> I linked up with an excellent corporate attorney and patent attorney, both of whom agreed to let me use their services on a pay later basis.

I'm curious about this "pay later" arrangement - does it simply mean they'll invoice you on 30 day terms, or something else?

The corporate attorney agreed not to require me to pay any of their invoices until I closed a seed round, while the patent attorney let me pay their invoices a full year after I received them. These sorts of arrangements are common with attorneys who work with startups.
