SAFE Note Question — angel investor wants board seat

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

angel investor wants board seat. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
