So I received a call from our corporate attorney yesterday about my post on the overblown status of registration rights agreements. I don’t think he was defensive (we’ve drafted 3 with them in conjunction with our various fundraising rounds), but we laughed about how rarely these are actually invoked relative to the amount of time spent negotiating and drafting them. He’s a great guy and passed along a couple of war stories that were fun to listen to but probably boring as heck to read, so I’ll save you the time.
Fortunately, we have partnered with institutional investors who understand how registration rights agreements fit into the overall scheme so we didn’t burn a lot of cycles on this. However, for those of you looking to shortcut the process or see how they are used by top law firms and companies, I suggest you pop over to this agreements preview site, where you can search and preview thousands of these and other types of legal documents for free.
