Series A & Growth.
Six weeks from term sheet to signed shareholders' agreement. We run institutional venture closings the way lead investors expect: fast, clean, and with no surprises in the ancillaries.
Full-stack Series A, B, and C execution. Liquidation preferences, anti-dilution, board composition, protective provisions, drag-along, and exit mechanics — negotiated so both founders and investors understand their outcome at every scenario.
Standardised docs. One-off negotiation. Zero wasted cycles.
Institutional rounds demand institutional expertise & execution. We bring both — and the lead investor's counsel knows it before the first call.
Lead-side fluency
We've sat across the table from nearly every major CEE growth fund, so we know their playbook, their mark-ups, and where they'll push back before the first draft lands.
Full-stack DD response
Our diligence response deploys tax, employment, intellectual property, and data-protection specialists in parallel. No single-track bottleneck, no last-minute scramble.
Reserved Matters
We know when to give, when to hold, and how to model the founder outcome at each scenario.
Board design
Board sizing, observer rights, committee structure, and protective provisions calibrated so the board actually governs — not just meets.
Five workstreams. One timeline. Every deliverable accounted for.
Term sheet negotiation
We translate the term sheet into a founder-outcome model. Valuation, liquidation preference, anti-dilution, option pool sizing, and board composition negotiated with full visibility.
Legal due diligence
Investor-side due diligence handled by a team that's seen every question on the list. Delivered as a structured Q&A with the red-flag register on the front page.
Investment agreement & shareholders' agreement
Representations and warranties, indemnities, and completion mechanics on one side; SHA governance, pre-emption, transfer restrictions, and exit provisions on the other.
Board & governance setup
Board construction, observer rights, committee charters, reserved matters, and the meeting cadence.
Post-closing integration
30/60/90-day post-close checklist: regulatory filings, option-pool top-up, employee communications, and the first board-meeting materials.
