If they can’t, then we want to know more about the existing investor syndicate, so we’re not the only ones at the table.

Coinvestors: Flexible VC terms have not been standardized, which may make the investment harder to syndicate. Lenders sometimes take warrants. Most Flexible VCs lead rounds and often take 100% of the round to mitigate this risk. Expensive, complex, and time-consuming. Easy, except for addressing investor’s residual stake if any.
