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.

At the start of the venture, this makes it easy to document the core hypothesis that need to be tested to go from idea to launch, typically by focusing on the Payer, Channel, and User stakeholders.

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. The place most good founders & funders settle is in setting up an “independent board.” I actually think having a formal board can really help you.

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.

It will also help founders track and file 83(b) filings, a niche but important document for those with equity that can cost millions in back taxes if done wrong. By providing a simpler UX for founders, Kohli hopes AngelList can do more than a lawyer consultation when it comes to officially launching a company.

“The next best thing founders can do is to signal as much as possible that pitch materials shared with funders are confidential.” Legally binding, the document establishes both a company’s valuation and deal terms.

We mostly use it for collecting votes and gathering signatures on documents. We keep this information internal, but we do report the raw statistics to the ACA which publishes an Angel Funders Report – you can find the 2021 Report here. This is essentially a DocuSign alternative that is a portfolio company.
