VC Term Sheets – Drag-Along Provisions
by Scott Edward Walker on May 5th, 2011Introduction
This post originally appeared as part of the “Ask the Attorney” column I am writing for VentureBeat. Below is a longer, more comprehensive version, which is part of my ongoing series on venture capital term sheets. Here are the issues I have addressed to date:
- common mistakes dealing with VC’s
- valuation
- liquidation preferences
- stock options
- exploding term sheets and no-shop provisions
- anti-dilution provisions
- dividends
- Board control
- protective provisions
In today’s post, I examine “drag-along” or “bring-along” provisions, which can be very tricky.

“Ask the Attorney” – Formation Issues (Part II)
by Scott Edward Walker on February 3rd, 2010Introduction
This post is part of a new series entitled “Ask the Attorney,” which I am writing for VentureBeat (one of my favorite websites for entrepreneurs). As the VentureBeat Editor notes on the site: “Ask the Attorney is a new VentureBeat feature allowing start-up owners to get answers to their legal questions.” This post is a longer, more-comprehensive version of the VentureBeat post.
The goal here is two-fold: (i) to encourage entrepreneurs to ask law-related questions regardless of how basic they may be; and (ii) to provide helpful responses in plain english (as opposed to legalese). Please give me your feedback in the comments section. Many thanks, Scott
