ARI PROGRAM
Understanding Term Sheets
Term sheets do not need to be mysterious, intimidating or left entirely up to attorneys. They do not need to be difficult, overly-complicated and unfair. They should be quite the opposite and a key part of your next deal.
The goal of every good term sheet should be to ensure a fair deal, provide certain safeguards and protections, set up healthy returns, and be clearly understood by all parties involved.
Angel Investors that understand how to formulate and execute a term sheet will have increased confidence in their deals and better protected interests. They will also be better positioned for ensuring that an exit and/or follow-on funding will take place with greater efficiency.
Entrepreneurs that understand the concepts and principles of how to execute a term sheet can focus more attention on their business. They will also increase their chance of receiving funding.
Startup Support Professionals can increase the value of their services to clients and constituencies when they can more effectively advise them on to execute the angel investment process. The more knowledge you can transfer the better positioned for success your clients will be.
An In-Depth Look at Term Sheets takes the mystery out of the process of constructing a term sheet. This workshop explores the common concepts, principles, approaches to and types of term sheets. You will learn what works and what does not as well as the options there are to execute a good deal for everyone. This workshop includes energetic presentations, panel discussions, group exercises and case studies.
