Hypothetical question

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

YC SAFE note terms review. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Illustrative response

For anyone doing a Series LLC: be aware that not all states recognize them. If you're operating in a state that doesn't recognize the series structure, you might not get the liability protection you think you have.
