Venture Capital Law Firm - Capital Raising and Financings

Capital Raising and Financings

Startups, emerging and high growth companies regularly need to seek financing to fund their growth. The method of fundraising is often dependent on the stage of the business and the leverage of the company raising funds. Seed financing for startups is typically in the form of a SAFE agreement or convertible note, while emerging companies typically raise seed or series preferred style of financings through venture capital.

Our firm can help you navigate and negotiate financings based on the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (CVCA) or National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) model documents or help you draft and negotiate custom documents to suit your company's needs.
