"Issue Uncle Steve a diluted ‘Series A’ preferred shares." What I am trying to find/create is an ideal class for a Friends and Family financing. Without screwing things up for later, larger investment opps. Any examples out there? OK I found the post I am refering to, it was uncle Steve not uncle Joe.

I don't know if i can avoid it. I don't know very rich people, therefore I will be needing about 10 friends on board for an early seed round... I could already tell it could get ugly. I need to create a class of stock for these folks right? I just don't want it to be a mess for angels and VCs later. One of your posts mentioned a Startup that was not funded because of overly complex financial structure, but another mentioned "Uncle Joe Series F" Thanks, North. P.S. Do you have a reading list? There are a lot of junky books out there. Hmm… I don't know if i can avoid it.
