Close your seed round on documents you understand

A priced seed round usually starts with a term sheet and ends with a set of NVCA-style documents: a stock purchase agreement, an amended and restated certificate of incorporation that creates the preferred stock, an investors’ rights agreement, a voting agreement, and a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement. Your board and your stockholders must approve the round, and the closing needs signatures, wire confirmations and a filed charter. The terms of these documents decide your dilution, your board and what investors can block for years. Each document has to match the term sheet and the others. Foundkits connects you with an independent California attorney to review, prepare or negotiate the documents for your seed round, from $1,000.

Choose your seed round support

Three options for one pre-seed or seed round, from reviewing investor drafts to negotiating the documents with your lead investor. The attorney confirms the scope, fixed fee and delivery date before work starts.
