Dublin, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Venture Capital. Forms and Analysis" book has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Venture Capital: Forms and Analysis provides a step-by-step framework for structuring, drafting and closing a venture capital deal, with a complete annotated set of the documents needed. It also features in-depth analysis from the perspective of both the company and the investor, as well as the latest guidance on best practices in venture transactions.
A single venture capital transaction can involve legal issues relating to corporate, securities, intellectual property, information technology, and employment laws.

Coverage includes discussion and examples of letters of intent for equity-based and debt-based financing; due diligence requests and checklists; articles of incorporation for the venture-backed enterprise; convertible securities and anti-dilution provisions; the stock purchase agreement; investor rights agreements; control provisions that give investors authority over company decisions; investors' rights of first refusal and co-sale agreements; warrants and other equity "sweeteners"; promissory notes; founders agreements; closing opinion letters; and more.
This comprehensive book will help both novice and experienced practitioners avoid common drafting mistakes, omissions and ambiguities that can harm the company or its investors.
