Navigating the legal and financial aspects of fundraising can be challenging - especially for founders raising their first round. Among these, term sheets often create the most confusion. To help simplify this, we’ve launched a new explainer series on term sheets - covering their purpose, structure, and the meaning behind key clauses. The first video, now live, provides an overview of what a term sheet is and why it exists in the context of early-stage investments. In the coming weeks, we’ll share deeper insights into specific terms such as: - Founder vesting and reverse vesting - Liquidation preferences - Anti-dilution provisions - ESOP pools - Investor rights and obligations Our aim is to help founders understand not just the legal language, but the reasoning and implications behind each clause. 🎥 Watch the first video of the series here: https://lnkd.in/gHUR6Bzc Powering fearless #Student #Entrepreneurs challenging the status quo! #Startups #Fundraising #VentureCapital #CampusFund #Founders #TermSheet #StartupIndia #LegalForFounders
