US Corporate Attorney SaaS, VC Due Diligence And Startup Structuring
About this Gig
Venture Capitalists will heavily scrutinize your startup before wiring funds. Messy cap tables, "dead equity" (shares held by departed founders), missing Board consents, and unassigned IP kill term sheets every single day.
As a US Attorney (Bar #135104), I prepare high-growth startups to pass rigorous VC legal due diligence. I will audit your corporate history, clean up your capitalization table, and build a legally sound data room.
My Services Include:
- Cap Table Cleanup: Fixing mathematical errors, accounting for convertible notes/SAFEs, and modeling pre/post-money dilution.
- Dead Equity Resolution: Drafting separation agreements and stock repurchases for departed co-founders.
- Corporate Housekeeping: Identifying missing Board Consents, Stock Purchase Agreements, and 83(b) receipts.
- Data Room Structuring: Organizing your legal documents to present a flawless corporate structure to investors.
Don't wait until the VC sends their lawyers. Clean your house now. Send me a message to discuss your current cap table situation.

FAQ
What is "Dead Equity"?
It is equity owned by founders or advisors who are no longer contributing to the company. VCs hate this, and I can help you resolve it.
Do you use Carta or Pulley?
Yes, I can review cap tables exported from Excel, Carta, Pulley, or AngelList.
What goes into a VC Data Room?
Incorporation docs, cap table, IP assignments, material contracts, employment agreements, and board minutes.
Can you fix promises I made via email to early employees?
Yes, "handshake equity" is a massive legal risk. I will convert those informal promises into formal equity grant documents.
Why do VCs care about this?
VCs are buying a piece of a legal entity. If the entity's ownership is disputed or undocumented, their investment is at risk, and they will walk away.
