SeedLegals Termometer fundraising fact #10: Setting the maximum number of directors on your board As your company grows, later stage investors will often want a seat on the board. It's well known that decision-making becomes increasingly difficult for groups greater than 5, so it's important to keep a small board in the early stages, and keep it to 5 or fewer as your grow. Here’s how founders set the board size in their funding round deal terms, based on 2000+ UK funding rounds done on SeedLegals. https://lnkd.in/e2ykTnj4 Early-stage angel round: 3 directors total, all appointed by the founders Angel round with investors who want more company oversight: 3 directors total, of which 2 appointed by the founders, and 1 NED or Investor Director Seed or Series A round with fund or VC investors: 5 directors total, of which 3 appointed by the founders and up to 2 NEDs or Investor Directors

We had a great conversation with Doug Wyatt about his journey into Angel investing and why Maple Leaf Angels helped him find a way to give back and use his years of experience. Angel investing is a great way to be part of the Canadian start-up ecosystem and see some of the most innovative ideas in development. #investorinverview #angelinvesting #torontotech
