A pre-revenue, founder-led company has a board of one, and saying otherwise would be the first governance failure. This page states who sits today, which seats are reserved, and the exact gates that open them.
[ 01 ]Seated today
One row, because one person sits. The empty rows below are commitments, not decoration.
seated — founder director
Yethikrishna R
↳ sole director since founding — bengaluru
what this seat owns
Everything, today — product, capital, and the record. The quarterly written reviews exist precisely so that this concentration of authority leaves a paper trail an independent director can later audit.
[ independent seat — to be earned ]
Independent seat — product & capital
↳ Opens at the first institutional round — the seat is part of the term sheet, not a concession after it.
what this seat will own
Challenges the roadmap and the burn from outside the founder's head: audits the gates before lanes open, pressure-tests pricing against the people Y0 was built for, and holds the casting vote on any decision where the founder's equity and the user's interest could diverge.
[ independent seat — to be earned ]
Independent seat — trust & audit
↳ Opens at sustained revenue — twelve consecutive months of paying users, because an audit seat over a pre-revenue ledger would be theatre.
what this seat will own
Owns the audit relationship and the trust ledger's integrity: signs off on the transparency disclosures, reviews every security incident postmortem, and can compel publication of anything the company would rather sit on.
[ 02 ]Cadence commitments
Every quarter the founder writes the board document — numbers, decisions taken, decisions pending — whether anyone besides him reads it yet. The habit precedes the audience.
Anything board-level is a dated document before it is an action. When independent directors arrive, the archive is already waiting for them.
The gates above are published here before any negotiation. An investor or director who joins knows what the seats cost, because it was always public.
[ 03 ]Decision rights
Stated now, while it is unflattering, so it is binding later when it is not.
