A six-figure investment in a startup sports league, a founder who had gone silent, no cap table on record, and a bank account the investor had never seen. We turned a verbal commitment into a documented claim.
The investor had wired a six-figure investment to a founder building a startup professional league. The founder promised a SAFE, a cap table, and quarterly reporting. None of it materialized.
Calls went unanswered for weeks. Emails were acknowledged but unresolved. A follow-on round was closing, and the investor had no written record of his existing position.
We pulled the league entity's formation records, cap-table-adjacent public filings, and any trademark or domain registrations tied to the operation. We drafted a formal demand letter requesting: written confirmation of the investment, a signed SAFE or equivalent instrument reflecting the original terms, a current cap table, and a 30-day window for books-and-records review.
We structured the demand with clear consequences: refusal triggers litigation, with specific claims articulated and preserved. The founder responded within nine days. A signed SAFE was executed. A redacted cap table was delivered. The investor's position was documented and protected before the follow-on round closed.
"I had given the money and received silence. Brandon turned the silence into a signed instrument."
