I don't see why this is an issue though, just promise quarterly updates and clearly state rights on future raises for existing investors. They can follow-on or not. All of these issues can be solved, it's just more excuses. It should be easier to have 100 investors who all agree on everything than 4 investors you have to baby and cajole and manage their whining because they feel entitled to personal service.

That assumes that the company proceeds through successive rounds with an upwards trajectory. If the company falters and takes a down round the initial investors may disagree with the direction or even sue.

If the company needs to be recapitalized or restructured under a time crunch, tracking down 100 loosely involved investors and getting them to sign the deal may not be feasible.

Probably would have been better to have arbitration instead of lawsuits written into the law. (to make it work not for investors)
