Summary

This Venture Capital Financing Due Diligence Request List form is designed to surface the "red flag" items that may materially affect the valuation of a start-up company in connection with a venture capital financing transaction, and should not be considered a comprehensive checklist that captures every possible due diligence request. Counsel should be sure to tailor this list to the transaction at hand. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes.
