From Erramilli Law Group – Strategic Counsel for Founders, Investors, and High-Growth Companies

Growth is the goal of every startup, but scaling too fast without legal infrastructure can quietly unravel everything founders worked to build. From poorly structured equity to rushed investor agreements, many early-stage companies lose leverage long before they realize it.

At Erramilli Law Group, we work with founders and investors to ensure growth is supported by sound legal strategy, not undermined by it.

The Hidden Cost of Early Growth

When capital starts flowing, legal decisions are often made under pressure. Founders may accept funding, issue equity, or onboard partners without fully understanding the long-term consequences. Common mistakes include:

• Over-dilution in early funding rounds
• Incomplete or informal shareholder agreements
• Weak governance and voting structures
• Failure to protect intellectual property before scaling

These issues often don’t surface until later rounds, acquisitions, or disputes, by which time leverage has already been lost.

Why Venture Capital Deals Demand Precision

Venture capital agreements are not just about valuation. They dictate control, exit rights, board authority, and future fundraising power. A single clause can determine whether a founder remains a decision-maker or becomes a minority voice in their own company.

Our firm ensures each deal aligns with the company’s growth strategy while protecting founder control and investor expectations. This cap pushes coaches and athletic departments to think more like professional front offices managing rosters, budgets, and compensation strategies with precision.

  • Entity structuring and restructuring

  • Cap table management and dilution strategy

Build Fast, But Build Right
