For the time being I'm focusing on issues of more pressing interest to early stage companies, but that would a great topic to cover. Thanks for the suggestion. That’s a great idea, John.

I think it might be even more useful to provide (on your site) different examples. I am not suggesting a do-it-yourself approach but examples that illustrate the complexities at different stages. For instance, in a past venture the first stage funding was an LP and the SA was pretty simple. The second round was from big institutional VCs, they employed only the biggest accountants and lawyers, and the resulting SA and other documents were daunting. (A pet beef of mine is that all that expensive work did nothing positive to advance the venture, and ultimately nothing to alter the outcome.) Just a thought. John. Rob,
