About this Gig
When venture capital enters your startup, founders often lose control. Without strict cap table protections, future funding rounds can drastically dilute your ownership and strip you of voting power.
I am Monty Oliver Anderson, a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #010450) specializing in cap table defense. I draft highly sophisticated Cap Table Protection Agreements that shield founders from aggressive investor terms and down-rounds.
Strategic Protections Included:
- Anti-Dilution Provisions: Protect the value of your shares during future fundraising (Full Ratchet or Broad-Based Weighted Average).
- Preemptive Rights: Guarantee founders the right to purchase future shares to maintain their exact ownership percentage.
- Voting Rights Structuring: Implementation of dual-class shares or super-voting rights so founders retain board control even with minority equity.
- Right of First Refusal (ROFR): Control who enters your cap table.
Keep your leverage when negotiating with investors. Protect your life's work by ordering a legally airtight protection suite today.
Field of law:
Business (corporate)

FAQ
What is an anti-dilution provision?
It is a mechanism that prevents an investor's or founder's ownership stake from losing value if new shares are issued at a lower price in the future (a "down round").
What are preemptive rights?
Preemptive rights give current shareholders the first opportunity to buy new shares issued by the company, allowing them to maintain their percentage of ownership.
Can you help secure founder voting control?
Yes. The Premium package includes drafting provisions for super-voting share structures, allowing founders to maintain decision-making control despite owning less than 50% of the equity.
When should I put this agreement in place?
Immediately, and ideally before you take on any outside investment or issue shares to third parties.
Are these agreements standard for VC funding?
Yes. Savvy founders implement these protections early. It signals to VCs that you are legally sophisticated and serious about protecting your company's governance.
