Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

VC demanding 2x liquidation preference. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
