Emerging Companies & Venture Capital

Can you help us raise a seed round or Series A?

Yes. We represent startups and emerging companies at every stage of financing, including SAFEs, convertible notes, seed rounds, and Series A and later-stage rounds. We negotiate term sheets, prepare financing documents, manage diligence and approvals, and take transactions through closing. We have handled numerous sophisticated financings opposite large law firms, and clients value the speed and efficiency we bring to every deal.

Can Pacific Street handle our financing round for a fixed fee?

Yes. Many large law firms bill financings by the hour, often at high rates that make legal costs difficult to predict and harder to control. We take a different approach, offering fixed-fee pricing for defined seed and venture financing rounds so founders have cost certainty from the outset. Our proprietary technology streamlines documentation, diligence, and closing, allowing experienced lawyers to execute efficiently without the high hourly bills.

How does Pacific Street help VCs and investors?

We represent venture capital funds, family offices, angel groups, and strategic investors across the full investment lifecycle. On individual deals, we advise on term sheets, deal structure, due diligence, preferred-stock financings, SAFEs, investor rights, side letters, and closing. We also form and document venture funds, special purpose vehicles, and co-investment vehicles, and handle Reg D and blue sky filings. After closing, we support investors on follow-on rounds, portfolio company matters, secondary purchases, and exits.

Can I sell some of my startup shares before an acquisition or IPO?

Potentially. Private-company shares are often subject to transfer restrictions, company approvals, and securities-law requirements. We help founders, employees, and investors evaluate liquidity options, structure secondary sales, negotiate terms, and address related tax considerations.

Can Pacific Street serve as our primary law firm?

Yes. We can serve as your outside general counsel, acting as your company’s go-to legal team without the cost of an in-house hire. That means we handle your day-to-day legal needs, advise on business decisions as they come up, and manage corporate, commercial, employment, intellectual property, regulatory, financing, and other matters. Our proprietary technology helps us retain context from prior work, so we can respond quickly as your business grows and bring in specialists when needed. We offer fixed fees for defined projects, including qualifying financing rounds, and flexible arrangements for ongoing counsel.

How is Pacific Street different from a large law firm?

The attorneys at and who work with Pacific Street are trained at leading law firms, but we built Pacific Street around a different model that doesn’t rely on the billable hour. We use proprietary technology to streamline documentation, diligence, and deal execution, which lets us offer fixed fees and flexible pricing. Clients get top-tier expertise without unpredictable bills or paying for inefficiency. We also work the way startups and investors work. We integrate directly into the channels our clients already use internally, whether that’s Slack, Telegram, Signal, or WhatsApp, so you can reach us in real time for quick questions instead of scheduling a call for next week. Our technology retains context from prior work, so we get up to speed quickly, respond fast, and function as an extension of your team rather than an outside vendor.
