The term sheet outlines the terms of the investment and the relationship between you and the investor. We help negotiate and draft term sheets to ensure fairness and mitigate risk.
Startup funding rounds must comply with securities laws, which regulate how investments are made. We ensure your funding efforts meet all legal requirements to avoid complications or penalties.
Investor agreements outline the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of investors in your company. Our team drafts and negotiates these agreements to protect both founders' and investors' interests.

The capitalization table (cap table) outlines the ownership structure of your company. We help manage and update your cap table to reflect all investors’ shares and rights accurately.
