Series AA Documents Back Online
- pg 18y agoSorry for the delay. WSGR wanted to add some disclaimers to the documents, and then we ourselves were busy with Demo Day(s). There's now a termsheet as well, which some people had asked for.
- froo 18y agoThankyou very much good sir!
- dawie 18y agoThanks! Are you thinking of releasing the Delaware Incorporation documents that you give each company too? I think it will be a great resource.
- prakash 18y agoyou have no idea the kind of good karma (real, not HN :-)) that is going to come YC's way thanks to this! Thanks very much!
- prakash 18y agoCan you also provide one easy zip file to download?
- prakash 18y agoSigh! To whoever down voted, 1. Total file size uncompressed is 428 kB, compressed is roughly 100 kB i.e. reduced bandwidth from origin & faster downloads 2. The webserver has to process 1 request instead of 6 3. Having all the word files in one zip file is easier to download
- ivankirigin 18y agoI'm not sure it's legal to put an exclamation point after "sigh"
- goodkarma 18y agoThanks!
- pelle 18y agoWhat kind of license are they released under?
- pg 18y agoNone in particular. I don't think they need to be. They're not the sort of thing the user publishes, like an image; nor is there any plan (for now at least) to incorporate changes contributed by other people, as one would with software.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoA Creative Commons license might be a useful thing to add. With no license specified a potential user could run into picky copyright law hangups down the line.
- wheels 18y agoJust submitted a comment in the Venture Hacks feedback suggesting an article or series of articles breaking these down into layman's terms. It's nice to have the documents; it'd be even nicer to have a decent handle on the implications of their use.
- prakash 18y agoWell said. For the term sheet check out Brad Feld's term sheet series: http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/term_sheet/ http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/term_sheet/

- chollida1 18y agoI didn't see a license that these were released under. It could be useful to put these onto a wiki and allow people to mark them up with comments about any changes they made to them through the course of their own use.

- gqwu 18y agoDoes a new ycomb company require vesting for all the cofounders? If so is it the typical (4 year vesting, 1 year cliff etc) terms?
- plusbryan 18y agoas of summer 2006, yes. standard 4/1 yr
- pg 18y agoWe don't actually require it, but we encourage it, so that there's a predefined way to handle cofounders leaving.
- dcurtis 18y agoIt's not a requirement. But they strongly suggest the typical 4 year vesting with 1 year cliff. (Actually, "strongly" might be an understatement.)
- Alex3917 18y agoDoes WSGR work with many YC startups? I had heard that they've lost interest in most early stage web stuff, but I was wondering if they were more likely to work with YC companies since they clearly work with YC itself.
- mattmaroon 18y agoVery many.
- yokumtaku 18y agoWSGR is very interested in working with all startups, including early stage web startups. WSGR represents many YC-backed companies.
