I will draft safe agreements, shareholder and startup investment documents
US Attorney Startup Venture Capital and Securities Law Expert
Over deze dienst
Securing early-stage funding requires airtight legal documentation.
I am John R. Rigby (U.S. Attorney, Bar #334335). I help startup founders successfully close pre-seed, seed, and angel rounds by drafting robust, investor-ready legal agreements. Whether you are issuing a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE), a Convertible Note, or formalizing equity via a Shareholder Agreement, I ensure your cap table is protected.
Generic, downloaded startup documents often contain fatal flaws regarding valuation caps, discount rates, and pro-rata rights that can cost founders millions in future dilution. I draft precision documents that balance founder control with investor appeal.
My Services Include:
- Pre-Money & Post-Money SAFE Agreements
- Convertible Promissory Notes
- Founder & Shareholder Agreements
- Investment Term Sheets
- Board Consents & Corporate Resolutions
Ensure your startup is built on a solid legal foundation from day one. My documents are designed to pass rigorous venture capital due diligence in future rounds.
Reach out to me via the inbox with your funding stage and deal terms, and let's prepare your startup for investment.
