Introducing YourStory Workshops: Demystifying the VC Term Sheet
Exclusive Workshop with Soumitra Sharma, IDG Ventures
Term Sheets are a dreaded topic for most entrepreneurs. Full of complicated terminologies like liquidation preference, drag along, anti-dilution etc., the topic is an important one for every entrepreneur. And those entrepreneurs who are looking to raise capital from VCs will have to go through term sheet negotiations.
YourStory wants to help you understand this subject better and our first ever workshop is aimed at simplifying various aspects of a term sheet using an actual negotiated term sheet from a consummated deal.
Aspects that will be covered include:
- Purpose of a term sheet – from both the VC and entrepreneur’s perspective
- Key clauses in a term sheet
- Detailed analysis of every clause using an actual negotiated term sheet from a consummated deal
- Relevance and potential consequences of each clause in the term sheet – for both the VC and the entrepreneur
- Negotiations tips
