I would be curious what pg thinks of these documents.

I haven't seen them, but I applaud the idea. The Series AA documents we and WSGR produced have been used by many startups and have saved them a great deal of time and trouble.

The Series AA documents are intended for angel rounds, whereas it sounds like the Series Seed documents, despite the name, are intended to be used with VCs. It could be harder to talk VCs into using standardized documents, but it would be great if that happened.

Nope. the new docs are for angel rounds. Horowitz makes the point that VC's should act like angels when in an angel round (when in rome).

I anticipate that both docs (YC + Andreessen/Horowitz are very similar. They keep it simple so that shit doesnt get complicated if you make it to an A round.

What's great is that lots of top notch folks have pledged to use them = a standard is upon us.

Well, we know standard docs work in that situation. I hope once the Series Seed docs are out, someone will publish an analysis of the diffs between them and the Series AA docs.
