Information Rights

What information rights should I ask for?

Seed‑stage investors typically receive information rights that include periodic financial statements, updates, and sometimes a basic budget. The goal is to stay informed enough to help and to make timely follow‑on decisions, without burdening the company. In priced rounds, these rights are in the Investors’ Rights Agreement; for SAFEs/notes, rights may be limited—ask to be included on investor updates and to receive financials after the first priced round.


Also ask for pro rata rights, and confirm the major investor threshold that unlocks them. Keep your requests proportional to your check.
