Raising capital is one of the most important moments in a company’s life. The terms you agree to — and the structure you choose — can shape governance, ownership, and incentives for years to come.

We help founders and management teams navigate venture financings with clarity and confidence, balancing investor expectations with long-term business realities.

What we help with

  • Early-stage financings

    SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced seed rounds — structured to align incentives and preserve flexibility for future growth.

  • Preferred equity rounds

    Series A through Series C financings, including term sheet review, negotiation, and full transaction management.

  • Venture debt & strategic capital

    Debt facilities, hybrid instruments, and strategic investments that complement equity financing and support expansion.

  • Cap table management & cleanup

    Preparing capitalization tables for diligence, correcting legacy issues, and ensuring investor-ready documentation.

  • Investor documentation & closing

    Stock purchase agreements, investor rights, voting agreements, disclosures, and closing mechanics handled efficiently and clearly.

A business-practical approach to fundraising

Fundraising is not just a legal process — it’s a strategic one. We focus on helping founders understand how terms affect control, economics, and future optionality, not just whether documents are “market.”

Our role is to help you evaluate tradeoffs, identify real risk, and move forward with a structure that supports the business you’re building — not one that creates friction down the road.

How we support founders during a raise

  • Clear explanations, not legal jargon

    We explain terms in plain language so you can make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

  • Efficient and organized

    Fundraising creates enough pressure on its own — we manage the legal process so it doesn’t become a distraction.

  • Aligned with your long-term goals

    We evaluate terms through the lens of future rounds, governance, and exit scenarios.

  • Investor-aware, founder-focused

    We know what investors expect, and we help you meet those expectations without giving up more than necessary.
