Party Rounds, Acqui-Hires on the Rise, Seed Funding Report Finds

A seed stage funding report released today by the San Francisco-based law firm Silicon Legal Strategy shows that party rounds and acqui-hires are on the rise, helping to drive investors to seek more control when making seed deals by taking more board seats in equity rounds. On the debt side, investors are asking for more rights upon a sale of the company and are more frequently demanding side letters and other special rights, according to the report, called "Seed Financings: Three Years in Startup Land."
