Both Sides of the Table
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021
Today you have funders focused exclusively on “Day 0” startups or ones that aren’t even created yet. What used to be an “A” round in 2011 is now routinely called a Seed round and this has been so engrained that founders would rather take less money than to have to put the words “A round” in their legal documents.

Why you should set up a board at the seed round of funding I know these days with SAFE documents and rolling convertible notes many founders prefer not to set up a board early on.

I’ve been on boards with independent directors who are hugely responsive, read important legal documents, get briefed by the CEO and company counsel and know the company’s financials. There was a lot of fighting between founders and funders that the independent quit his job because he didn’t want to get in the middle.

We will vigorously document the structure, projects, programs, relationships, strategies and tactics used by the coordinator. We are also grateful for the flexibility from our funder in terms of adjusting to change in strategy to address challenges related to COVID-19,” Eva adds. Challenges.
