Full Ratchet

Определение

Full ratchet is the aggressive form of anti-dilution protection: in a down round, earlier investors’ conversion price resets entirely to the new lower price, regardless of how few new shares are issued.

Как это возникает в процессе рейза

Full ratchet terms shift down-round pain almost entirely onto founders and employees; standard practice is the milder broad-based weighted average instead.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Should founders accept full ratchet terms?

Almost never at early stages; it is a red-flag term worth negotiating hard against, and most credible investors do not ask for it.

What is the standard alternative?

Broad-based weighted average anti-dilution, which adjusts price proportionally to the size of the down round.
