Andrew Romans (7BC Venture Capital) sits down with Arthur Bavelas, founder of Family Office Insights, to unpack information rights — the deceptively simple legal provision that decides who gets paid, who gets stuck, and who actually gets to sell their shares.

May 13, 202656 minS1
The one clause most founders forget to negotiate — and the family-office investor who's quietly used it for decades to protect capital and engineer better exits. Andrew Romans (7BC Venture Capital) sits down with Arthur Bavelas, founder of Family Office Insights, to unpack information rights — the deceptively simple legal provision that decides who gets paid, who gets stuck, and who actually gets to sell their shares. In this conversation: — Why information rights aren't just for investors, and how founders can negotiate them for themselves — The secondary-sale scenario where a missing clause costs founders real money — How VCs structure Layer 1 vs. Layer 2 SPVs and orchestrate "final close" tactics — A Steve Jobs–era story on how transparency rights changed an outcome — What LPs should ask before they wire In a market where deal structure quietly decides winners and losers, the people who understand these levers walk away with more. Arthur and Andrew break it down in plain English. About the guest: Arthur Andrew Bavelas is founder of Bavelas Group Family Office and Family Office Insights. About the host: Andrew Romans is General Partner at 7BC Venture Capital and author of three books on VC. 7BC European Roadshow this June — Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Geneva, Monaco.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
