Be smarter than your lawyer and your VC.

About

The definitive guide to how venture financings and term sheets actually work.

Official summary

Walks through the mechanics of raising venture capital: the players, the term sheet clause by clause (economics and control), how VC funds work, negotiation tactics, and acquisition letters of intent.

Why it’s an important read

You will negotiate terms you don’t fully understand unless you read this first. It levels the information asymmetry between founders and investors.
