What if NDAs are much more important than you think? In this episode, Ehteshamul Haque argues that an NDA lays the groundwork for a deal, making it incredibly significant (and too often overlooked).

An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is a confidentiality agreement and a binding contract in which one party agrees to provide sensitive information to another, with the latter agreeing not to share it with any outsiders. The agreement helps protect intellectual property (IP) and sensitive information by outlining that everything must remain private with zero release of any details to the public.

NDAs can be as different as snowflakes because the needs and goals of each party will change over time and the way the IP will be transferred, licensed, and utilized changes depending on your intended business endeavor. But, at least initially, it does not matter if you are presenting a business idea, trying to sell your company, reviewing third-party vendors or considering R&D partnerships, the discussions surrounding an NDA should always begin with the same series of questions.
