Some  sophisticated law firms in the venture capital space  recently released “model” deal documents for equity-based financings of early-stage start-ups. Presumably, these documents are intended to establish industry standards for commonly negotiated terms, purportedly to expedite the capital-raising process. These terms are probably pretty lopsided to favor investors. Interesting to get a glimpse of the inner-structure of these fabled transactions.
