Right of First Refusal (ROFR)
Definición
A ROFR gives the company or investors the right to buy shares a holder wants to sell, on the same terms as the outside offer, before the sale can proceed.
Cómo aparece en el fundraising
ROFRs control who enters the cap table via secondary sales; strategic investors sometimes seek ROFRs on the whole company, which founders should resist.
Preguntas frecuentes

Why is a company-level ROFR dangerous?
A ROFR over an acquisition chills other bidders, since no one wants to negotiate a deal a strategic can simply match.
