When I read an investor agreement I pay attention to the verbs... shall, must, require and subject to consent mean someone can stop you cold, and may, should and reasonable mean you're going to be negotiating about it later, and a lot of owners and founders sign without noticing which kind of word sits in front of the decisions they care most about.General education, not legal advice.
