Super Pro Rata Rights

Super Pro Rata Rights are enhanced participation rights that allow an investor to buy more than their standard pro rata share in future financings, enabling the investor to increase ownership over time. In venture rounds, Super Pro Rata Rights are typically negotiated by highly desired investors, and Super Pro Rata Rights can meaningfully reduce allocation available to new investors and increase dilution for others.
