A Law Student's Guide to the Venture Term Sheet

A Law Student's Guide to the Venture Term Sheet

This workshop offers an introduction to venture capital term sheets — what they are, how they're used, and how the pieces fit together in a financing. We'll cover the key economic terms (e.g., pre- and post-money valuation, option pools) and key control terms (e.g., board composition, protective provisions, and founder vesting), along with examples from the presenters' experience financing companies. There will be ample time for Q&A.
