Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

VC demanding 2x liquidation preference. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Been there. Here's what I learned.

A lot of people mess up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I went with Delaware for the legal protections. Worth considering even for small businesses.

This is exactly why I started documenting everything from day one.
