Every closed-door room runs on the same vocabulary.
The exact words used in governance — drilled with case studies so you read the temperature in 90 seconds.
Cap tables, EBITDA, fully-diluted shares, post-money, liquidation preferences, board observers, tag-along, drag-along, ROFR, ROFO, MFN. Fiduciary duty, voting rights, board composition, observer seats, conflict-of-interest policies. No fluff — just the words and the moves they unlock. By the end you walk into any board meeting and know who has power, who's borrowing it, and who's about to lose it.
