Great resource! Thanks for compiling this.
From the other side of the table, Scott Kupor (a16z) has written a new book[1] "Secrets of Sand Hill Road". I look around and find mostly positive reviews for this. Yet to pick it up.

The new book Secrets of Sand Hill Road by Scott Kupor is slightly newer, a little more readable, and talks a lot about dilution, but otherwise covers almost the same ground.

Both books are great in understanding the space and motivations of various players.

It depends on the terms agreed with investors.

Typically this agreement says the board seat is allocated to the CEO role, not to the individual. So, if the CEO leaves the company, she loses her board seat. She could be appointed to a different seat, e.g. as an independent director chosen by the other members of the board, or as a board member voted by shareholders.

But which of these outcomes is possible likely depends on her negotiating position at the time(s) she raised funds.

The book 'Secrets of Sand Hill Road' has useful guidance on this. See the first 10 pages of chapter 10.
