@Eli_Albrecht I never use "the" or capitalize "party" or "parties". Drafting/editing a 69 page membership interest purchase agreement right now - I find that reducing the word count and limiting capitalized/defined terms makes it easier to skim and less intimidating.

@Sara_Imari @joerogan Contrary to some other opinions (apparently), I could listen to your theories and explanations for hours. Even though I usually prefer to read, I'm debating getting the audiobook instead.

@Eli_Albrecht @proverbs_18_2 I always center justify, so two spaces is pointless.

@anothercohen @timdemasters Yes, this is insane. The founder will be a minority owner by Series A.

@petercnordberg @Eli_Albrecht 100%. These are key terms. Their omission from the LOI implies that they were not part of the parties' intent. Similarly, when "compounding" is not included with interest, I assume it is simple.

Risk-free investment = low rate of return. The larger the risk, the greater the potential ROI.

You have to be willing to lose, in order to really win. And if you're not, it will hold you back the rest of your life. No risk, no reward. Choose accordingly.

@rossiadam Reading Mindset by Carol Dweck on fixed mindset vs growth mindset. Those with fixed mindsets don't seek big challenges because being validated for their talents and successes is the foundation of their identity. The risk of failure is intolerable.

@Notion4Lawyers Underrated, but a required skill to be a successful transactional lawyer. This is why it's important to be thoughtful and intentional with the LOI terms. More difficult when the parties don't use a lawyer for the LOI.
