That's why we are excited to be offering a new class in our College for Clients series, "VC Financing Fundamentals: Demystifying and Negotiating the Legal Documents." This session will shed light on the five main documents used in a VC financing. From the foundational Certificate of Incorporation to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Investors' Rights Agreement, Voting Agreement and Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement. We will delve into the purpose of each document and unveil the primary points of negotiation. Equip yourself with the knowledge and confidence to better navigate the financing landscape and understand how the choices you make today can impact your company in the years to come.
