Qualifications - 4+ years of emerging companies / venture capital experience at a reputable firm. - Solid working knowledge of NVCA documents, SAFEs, convertible notes, 409A and 83(b) mechanics, equity plan basics, and corporate governance issues. - Clear, direct communicator. - Admitted to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and in good standing. Requirements - Backgrounds at Cooley, Orrick, Fenwick, Wilson Sonsini, Gunderson, Goodwin, Latham, or similar are preferred. - You’ve handled enough financings to know what “market” means at each stage and can move through a deal without hand-holding.
