Investor Advisory

Navigate investor relationships with confidence and clarity.

Raising capital is one of the most consequential decisions a company makes. Raphael helps founders and leadership teams understand the legal dimensions of investor relationships — from early conversations through closing — so you can move fast without leaving yourself exposed.

What This Covers

  • Reviewing and negotiating term sheets, SAFEs, and convertible notes
  • Advising on investor rights, information rights, and board observer provisions
  • Structuring cap table mechanics and anti-dilution protections
  • Coordinating due diligence responses and data room preparation
  • Drafting and reviewing investor side letters and side agreements

Why It Matters

  • Early deal terms have long-lasting consequences — they affect future fundraises, exits, and control of your company
  • Many founders don't have legal counsel review term sheets until it's too late to negotiate
  • Experienced counsel can flag non-standard terms and protect your interests without slowing down your deal

Who This Is For

  • Startups and early-stage companies preparing for or closing a financing round
  • Founders navigating angel, seed, or Series A+ investment discussions
  • Companies evaluating strategic investors or accepting capital from funds
