Gouvernance clauses in a shareholders' agreement

Startup governance is who decides, on what topics, and how. Once you have investors on your cap table, they want oversight over certain strategic decisions (raising, selling, hiring your CFO, signing a major contract). This category covers the clauses that structure that power: board composition, periodic information rights (financial reporting, annual accounts), veto rights on major decisions. Poorly calibrated governance can paralyze your ability to execute (too many veto rights), or leave you without control if you grant a majority board seat too early. Atlas shows you the standard clauses and their variants by stage.
