The Deal – Term Sheet Negotiation (Live!)

👩‍💼 You’ve successfully secured a lead investor and received their Term Sheet! But what's next? Many founders rush to sign or negotiate without adequate insight, often leading to costly consequences later.

This interactive workshop is part of the Startup Fundraising & Legal Bootcamp, a collaborative 4-part series brought to you by Home of Innovation (HOIV) and Schoenherr Attorneys at Law. In this session, we delve deep into a real VC Term Sheet, breaking it down line by line to reveal:

🔍 What You’ll Learn

• Live Negotiation Simulation: Experience the dynamics of “Economics vs. Control” as terms are actively negotiated.
• In-Depth Analysis: Gain clarity on liquidation preferences, veto rights, board seats, and more.
• The “Standard” Myth: Understand why supposed “standard” terms often hide traps that could affect your stake.
• Spotting Deal Breakers: Learn how to identify clauses that may jeopardize your leverage or exit strategies.

This workshop provides valuable insights into the nitty-gritty of VC negotiations, equipping you with the skills needed to critically evaluate any Term Sheet and strategize effectively — before it’s too late!
