Startup Due Diligence

If you're looking at a startup deal or prepping your company for investor scrutiny, this handles the legal due diligence checklist for Delaware C-Corps at seed and Series A stages. It walks through corporate docs, cap table analysis, IP assignments, founder vesting, and all the usual suspect areas where early stage companies have gaps. The workflow is structured around document requests, issue spotting with severity ratings (critical/material/minor), and report generation. One thing to note: it's opinionated about US/Delaware structures and explicitly flags when you need actual legal counsel, which is the right approach since diligence findings often need specialist review before you act on them.
