What's the first, most practical step a founder can take if they want to start "gravity-proofing" their company today, something they could do by next week?


By far the easiest thing is to file a "public benefit corp" form in Delaware. Two pages, extremely easy, your lawyer can have it done for you by next week without breaking a sweat. By itself, it is not enough, but it solves a genuine problem and has almost no cost/drawback.
