February 22, 2021

San Francisco – February 22, 2021 – Cooley GO, the acclaimed resource center designed to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses, has launched a document generator that produces initial drafts of the primary venture financing documents on the National Venture Capital Association forms – an industry standard for US venture financings.

The widespread adoption of the NVCA’s forms has significantly reduced friction in getting venture capital deals closed, which in turn has helped countless startups more efficiently get the funding they need to build and grow their businesses. Cooley GO’s new generator builds on the utility and efficiency of the NVCA model documents, aiming to broaden the accessibility of the NVCA model documents and further streamline the process of closing venture deals. The latest addition to Cooley GO’s offerings builds on the firm’s efforts to bring to market generator packages for a wide range of financing documents, such as Series Seed equity and convertible notes, Y Combinator “Safe,” 500 Startups KISS Convertible Debt & Equity and numerous others, to help startups streamline their fundraising processes.

Cooley GO was expanded to the UK in 2015, the same year it won The Webby People's Voice Award, and to Asia in 2020. Most recently, Cooley GO launched an optional diversity rider for term sheets – an extension of Cooley’s continued effort to build a more diverse, equitable and inclusive marketplace.
