常见问题
Do seed investors get board seats?
Sometimes an observer seat (attends without voting); full seats usually start with the Series A lead.
Why do board seats matter to founders?
The board can approve or block financings, budgets, and sales of the company, and can replace the CEO. Composition is as important as valuation.
