Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

VC demanding 2x liquidation preference. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Literally had this conversation with my lawyer last month.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
