Danielle M. Lauzon

Expert guidance for our startup's Series A funding round

Our tech startup engaged Danielle Lauzon at Goodwin to navigate our first major venture capital raise, a $12 million Series A round. With 25 years of experience, particularly in the venture capital space for which she's recognized, her depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. She didn't just process paperwork; she provided strategic counsel that was crucial during negotiations with a prominent Boston-based VC firm. Her understanding of term sheet nuances, from liquidation preferences to anti-dilution provisions, protected our founding team's interests while keeping the deal viable. Having an attorney in Boston who is acknowledged by Best Lawyers gave us and our investors significant confidence in the process. The final agreements were impeccably drafted, reflecting a keen eye for detail honed over her decades in practice. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in email response times during non-critical phases, which I understand is a function of a busy practice. That minor point aside, her work was instrumental. We emerged from a complex financing round with a solid foundation, thanks to her expertise. We will absolutely engage Danielle for our future growth stages.
