Meet Gianna Nappi

Companies I’ve helped to grow and thrive:

Bilayer Therapeutics

Triana Biomedicines

Fun facts:

My favorite place in the world is Italy and I’ve had the chance to study abroad there three times in three different cities.

I played rugby in college.

I like to spend my weekends skiing at Sugarloaf or exploring new restaurants around Boston — ask me about my restaurant bucket list!

If I weren’t a lawyer, I would be …

a wedding planner or a marine biologist who studies seals.

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned in business is …

always be kind to and respect every person you meet, no matter who they are, what they do, or what their status is.

 In my office you’ll find …

lots of succulents and cacti. (Some are thriving, some are surviving …)

I’ve worked with several businesses from formation through multiple rounds of financing.

I love to get involved with a company at the beginning, get to know the client and product, and grow with the team as its needs evolve. I may work on company formation matters, review contracts and NDAs, draft consents, and provide other general corporate services — even setting the business up on the Carta platform. When it’s time for a financing, I’ll leverage my knowledge of the business to help draft and close a favorable transaction, and then handle post-closing and post-transaction matters. Later, I’ll bring that experience to the next financing. Over the past year, I helped Triana Biomedicines, Inc. close its Series Seed-1 and Series A financings, which involved multiple institutional investors. I’ve also done a lot of public company work and am familiar with SEC rules, which may be helpful if you decide to do an IPO. I look forward to working with you throughout your business’s lifecycle, until you sell or go public!
