Compliance Checklist for Getting Funded by Angel Investors or VCs
You Built the Dream. But Investors Still Said No.
You had the pitch.
You had the product.
You even had investor interest.
But just when things were about to take off… the deal fell through.
Not because your idea was weak,
but because your compliance wasn’t in place—no ROC filings, no agreements, no legal clarity.
And like that, your dream funding vanished.
This happens to more startups than you think.
Great ideas fail simply because they aren’t investor-ready on paper.
A Founder Who Had It All—Except This
Rishi, a 27-year-old founder from Pune, had built a brilliant ed-tech product. Students across India were signing up. Even an angel network agreed to meet him.
Everything seemed perfect.
But during the investment process, a small bomb dropped:
“Rishi, we couldn’t find any ROC filings or shareholder agreements. Can we discuss your compliance?”
His heart sank.
Turns out:
- His ROC filings were overdue for 2 years
- He never drafted a co-founder agreement
- There was no ESOP policy
- No clear cap table
- GST filings were inconsistent
The investor backed off.
Rishi didn’t lose funding because of a bad business…
He lost it because of missing paperwork.
The Hidden Barrier Between You and Funding
Here’s the truth no one tells you:
Ideas get attention, but compliance gets the money.
Angel investors and VCs want to see that:
- Your company is properly registered
- Your taxes are filed
- Your equity is clean
- Your agreements are watertight
- Your board meetings, resolutions, and filings are in place
Without this, they don’t just hesitate—they walk away.
