How to avoid dilution – or, what is pre-emptive rights?
The entry of a new investor or strategic partner is a significant event in the life of a company, and often marks an important stage in its growth.

Instead, their employment terms are based on verbal agreements or understandings. The CEO is aware that this is an unhealthy and inadvisable situation, or someone tells him so, but he refrains from changing the situation, fearing that the mere fact of...
