Pre/Post-Money
Pre-money = value of co before investment

Post-money = value of co after investment

4.5Cr Pre-money

1.5Cr Investment

Post-money = 6cr

Dilution = 25%
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Beware: Dilution in India
General Terms asked for:

25% Dilution at angel round + 10% option pool (usually created before
investment so no dilution for investors)

30%+ dilution at Series A + 20% option pool

2 founders/ 50% each

Before closing angel round 10% option pool / 45% per founder

After closing angel round, each founder at 33.75%

Target:

10-15% at angel round, maybe 20%

20-25% at Series A, possibly 30%
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Board of Directors
Control & Responsibility + fiduciary duties as
directors

Typically at early stage angels ask for one board
seat. Push back or ask for resignation at Series A
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Beware: Vesting
Earn your equity. You don’t own it…yet.

Vesting clock starts when you start working for company

Typically, founders vest stock monthly; employees
generally have a one year cliff (usually 25%)

Sometimes investors ask to start clock upon closing the
round. Push back hard on this.

If founder leaves, unvested shares are bought back by
company
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Pari Passu
Talk to YOUR lawyer

Usually negotiated much later than seed/angel
stage (whether liquidation preference of Series B
should be senior or pari passu w/ Series A)
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Liquidation Preference
Who gets paid first (and how much) when the
company gets acquired or shuts down (linked to
Pari Passu)

Strive to keep it simple.
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Information Rights
Monthly, quarterly and yearly financials

Minutes of meetings of Board of Directors and
copies of materials distributed to the Board
BANGALORE STARTUPS
Redemption/Drag-Along
Rights
Usually not seen in the US at seed / angel rounds

Be careful of provisions that:

Force founders / company to buy back
investors’ shares at fair market value
(redemption rights)

Force founders / investors to sell the company
(drag-along rights)
BANGALORE STARTUPS
ROFR (Right of First
Refusal) / Co-Sale Rights
Typically any founder common stock being sold is
first offered to investors

Investors have co-sale rights on any stock
founders sell (if they turn down ROFR rights)

Typically no time-limit on these rights held by
investors
