Frequently asked questions

When should we start preparing for due diligence?
At least 3–6 months before you plan to raise. Investors will examine your financials, tax compliance, statutory filings, and contracts. Cleaning up issues under time pressure is expensive and can delay or kill a round.
How should we structure our ESOP pool?
Typically 10–15% of fully diluted equity at the seed/Series A stage. Key decisions include vesting schedule (usually 4 years with a 1-year cliff), exercise price, and tax treatment. We help you design a pool that retains talent without unnecessarily diluting founders.
