SUMMARY:Ten top provisions an entrepreneur should consider when planning 
 early-stage rounds
DESCRIPTION:Many founders believe that as their business grows\, they wil
 l lose control of their board and the main strategies of their company. 
 This is not unfounded: in a study of approximately 5\,000 companies\, fo
 unders generally retained only about 45 per cent of total ownership and 
 had to give up significant control over the board after an early stage i
 nvestment. Fortunately\, there are various ways that founders can protec
 t and control the destiny of their business even as it scales to new hei
 ghts and entrepreneurs need to bring on new stakeholders. These include 
 certain provisions on types of issued stock and board protection clauses
 \, among others. In this panel we will explore the tried and tested meth
 ods that funders can employ to ensure they maintain some semblance of po
 wer over their business.
