- valuation
- liquidation preferences
- stock options
- exploding term sheets and no-shop provisions
- anti-dilution provisions
- dividends
- Board control
- protective provisions
- drag-along provisions
- pay-to-play and pull-up provisions
- conversion rights
- non-contractual rights
- redemption rights
