For instance, at FrontApp series A slide deck [slide 19](https://www.slideshare.net/MathildeCollin/front-series-a-deck-64596550), it's showed that the Series Seed was raised from 34 individuals.

In my experience, this get really complicated because:

1- Whenever it's needed to sign a contract from the company, we have a lot of people to read and sign it (incorporations, shares conversions and so on)

2 - The board turn out to have a lot of people (some of the individuals went to board)

3 - The cap table went big and it's easy to lose control of it.

I'm considering that at a seed series, you don't have much money to spend on expensive lawyer. (They raised 3.1M but could be a lot less with the same amount of individuals - a worst case but real scenario)

So my main questions are:

1-) I've seen the lecture about startup legal mechanics, but how do you deal with this structure without making the business slowing down?

2-) How can to deal with the 3 points that I've mentioned above?

PS: All my questions are based on a case where it get hairy on a startup in Brazil, so the answer can be a US type, so I'll adequate for our reality and companies possible structures from Brazil :)
