Thanks Patrick.

I'm familiar with pg's essay about High Resolution Fundraising, but as stated in the essay, this can happen even without the use of convertible notes: "You may not need to use convertible notes to do it."

Is it a fact that it's much easier to get a higher dollar amount with a note deal compared to shares? When issuing the investor shares with an anti-dilution clause doesn't it have the same effect as a cap, so the investor is protected from a down round? Wouldn't this ultimately allow the investor to agree to the same dollar amount as in a cap?
