> That still requires majority vote This presumes open and direct confrontation, which means the relationship is going bad, and which I’d speculate most people would rather avoid. You’re forgetting a bunch of things, like what the investment terms might say about it, what your reputation is going to be down the road, all the ways people can apply lots and lots of pressure, how important networking can be, and the fact that in some cases the investor is providing other resources and/or might be the gateway to future investment. Getting to a place where you’re openly ignoring your investors and calling for a board vote to overturn them is a last resort, and is playing Russian roulette, not the first thing to try if there’s disagreement about their advice, right?
