About this Gig
Institutional angel networks and venture capital firms conduct rigorous legal due diligence prior to funding. Broken chains of title, unapproved equity grants, and unexecuted IP assignments slow down deals, invite down-rounds, or kill term sheets entirely.
I am Jerry W. Hupp, an active U.S. attorney (Bar No. 006131). I review, audit, and clean startup corporate records, delivering an institutional-grade virtual data room structure that inspires investor confidence.
What I Resolve:
- Broken Cap Table Records & Unrecorded Stock Issuances
- Missing IP Assignments from Founders, Contractors, and Employees
- Defective or Absent Board of Director and Shareholder Consents
- Outdated or Inconsistent Corporate Bylaws
- Commercial Contract Liabilities and Ambiguities
- Organization and Structuring of Virtual Data Rooms (VDR)
Investors expect complete legal hygiene. Correcting these deficiencies before entering the diligence process preserves your valuation and prevents closing delays. Allow an experienced U.S. corporate attorney to prepare your company for a successful raise. Order now or message me your questions.

FAQ
At what stage should my startup clean up its corporate records?
The ideal time is before you circulate your pitch deck or sign a term sheet. Attempting to repair corporate records while inside a 30-day closing window creates leverage for investors to discount valuations or stall financing.
What are the most common red flags investors find during diligence?
The most frequent dealbreakers are missing intellectual property assignments from early founders or contractors, missing 83(b) elections, undocumented equity splits, and unapproved board minutes.
Does this package include setting up our Virtual Data Room (VDR)?
The Premium package provides a standardized legal architecture index, including precise file-naming conventions and an organizational folder schema tailored to top venture funds' due diligence request lists.
How do we fix board actions that were never formally voted on?
I draft formal corporate ratifications—often referred to as omnibus corrective consents—under relevant state statutes (such as the Delaware General Corporation Law) to retroactively ratify and document historical decisions.
Will this package guarantee investment funding?
While no legal engagement can guarantee third-party capital commitments, having organized, scrubbed, institutional-grade records ensures that your legal house will not be the reason an investor walks away.
