Intake summary

Sofia Lindqvist of Northgate Robotics needs help cleaning up founder equity documentation and unsigned IP assignments before a Series A closing. Two of four founders left in the first year, and the lead investor flagged these gaps in diligence with roughly six weeks until the round closes. The matter fits Corporate & Transactions well and scores high because it involves an active financing deadline, clear transactional work, and a business client likely to need ongoing counsel.

Follow-up questions

What specific issues did the lead investor flag in diligence, and has the investor provided a written issues list or closing checklist?

The round is targeted to close in six weeks, so we need this resolved within a month.

What is the target Series A closing date, and are there any signing, exclusivity, or investor-imposed deadlines before then?

Two departed co-founders, both left on decent terms, plus our lead investor Cascade Ventures.

What outcome do you want for the departed founders' equity and IP assignments, such as buyout, forfeiture, renegotiation, or new documentation?

Clean cap table and signed IP assignments so diligence clears.

Original message

We're a seed-stage hardware startup about to raise a Series A. Two of our four founders left in the first year and we never properly documented the equity split or got IP assignments signed. Our lead investor flagged it in diligence. We need this cleaned up before the round closes in about six weeks.
