Why on earth would the existence or not of a pre-nup affect funding? The funds go to the business not the individual and wouldn't form part of their finances if there was a divorce. No due-diligence is going to raise the lack of a pre-nuptial agreement as a reason to withhold investment.
- charlesdm 9y agoHalf his (vested) shares would go to his wife, in the event of a divorce. As a shareholder, she would have the right to vote on certain matters. I don't think it makes sense for her to sign a standard post-nup, however, I think it does make sense to account for the fact that the husband wants to make sure he keeps control of his shares in a business he's currently building.
- shin_lao 9y agoExactly this. There are ways to do mitigate this problem without going through a post-nup though.
