And yes, VC’s, too. That said, there are times where you need to cast a wider net. Negotiate directly with your VC or acquirer with lawyers present in the room. VCs : VCs are often on your side and usually act in an ethical manner. What might the VC do against your interest? Recruiters. You name it.
