Series A and Beyond

Institutional financing rounds are more complex than seed-stage investments. They typically involve detailed term sheet negotiations covering economics and governance, issuance of a new series of preferred stock with specific rights and preferences, expanded board representation and observer rights, enhanced protective provisions and consent requirements, and registration rights for future liquidity events. We bring deep venture financing experience and negotiate every term with your long-term interests in mind.

Due Diligence Preparation

Institutional investors conduct thorough diligence before committing capital. Their legal teams review corporate records, cap table, IP ownership, material contracts, employment agreements, regulatory compliance, and any pending or potential litigation. We help you prepare by conducting an internal audit, organizing the data room, identifying and resolving issues early, and presenting the company in the strongest possible position.

Series A investors looking at Kansas City companies often include funds that diligence aggressively on IP assignment history, early-hire paperwork, and data compliance. We pre-clean these areas so diligence does not become a renegotiation.

Post-Closing Governance and Compliance

After closing an institutional round, governance obligations expand significantly. You will have new board members, information reporting requirements, consent rights that require investor approval for major decisions, and ongoing compliance obligations under the financing documents. We provide continuing counsel on post-closing governance so you meet your obligations while maintaining the operational flexibility you need to grow.
