The Hidden Tax of VC Governance Rights

Lucas and Luna unpack how governance terms in venture-capital term sheets — protective provisions, board seats, information rights — can quietly erode founder control and company value. They examine a real-world case: a Series A deal where a standard 3x liquidation preference and anti-dilution clause nearly wiped out common shareholders. They also discuss how recent data shows 73% of VC-backed companies now grant veto rights on executive hiring, and why Cathie Wood's ARK funds have been buying governance-light SPACs instead. Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at how listener support keeps the podcast ad-free. #VentureCapital #TermSheets #GovernanceRights #StartupInvesting #FounderControl #LiquidationPreference #AntiDilution #BoardSeats #ProtectiveProvisions #SeriesA #SPACs #CathieWood #ARKInvest #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StartupLaw Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
