Counsel's 64-item list, answered with a machine
Term sheet signed Friday; investor counsel's diligence request list arrived Monday. Ten sections, 64 items, and the founder had a shoebox.
The brief, verbatim
We signed a term sheet on Friday and this morning the investor counsel sent the diligence request list, attached. It is four pages and I have a shoebox: formation docs somewhere, contractor agreements with no IP assignment language, board consents I am not sure we ever signed. Build me the machine that gets us through this: the data-room index organized the way their list is organized, the checklist of what we have versus what is missing versus what needs my lawyer eyes, the polite email to former contractors whose paperwork is thin, and a tracker my cofounder and I can actually run so nothing sits red the week before closing.
What the room did
The data-room index organized exactly the way counsel's list is organized. The gap checklist: what exists, what's missing, what needs lawyer eyes. The polite outreach email for former contractors with thin IP paperwork, with a draft assignment ready to send. And the tracker two founders can actually run, live in the case, so nothing sits red the week before closing.
