As an angel, you do not get to set weird terms for your 10k check. The startup is raising on standard paper (these days almost always a SAFE) and you take them.

But no terms are going to save you from the reality that a failing startup that needs to raise more money will have to accept dilutive terms. You might be able to restrict it, but the alternative is that they can’t raise at all and shut down.
