A Bengaluru SaaS startup raised funds on projected ARR…

Months later, the numbers didn’t match.

Investors accused the founders of misrepresentation and dragged them into high-value arbitration.

Suddenly the dream run became a legal storm:

• Founders facing personal liability

• Investor pressure ruining the next funding round

• Growing legal fees

• Reputation on the line

This is where D&O Insurance proves its worth —

✔ Founder legal defence

✔ Arbitration costs

✔ Settlement negotiation

✔ Media & reputation support

In India’s fast-paced startup ecosystem, optimism can be mistaken for misrepresentation.

D&O protects founders when investor trust breaks.
