What you should expect in a term sheet? What should you watch out for and be sure to include in a contract?
Terms sheets are pretty complex, but they all include the same basic stuff. They are always written by the VC giving you the money. They include everything from Pre-Money Valuation of the Company, Anti-Dilution Protection in later rounds through Liquidation Preference on exit.
FundingPost hosted an event with Nisha Atre of Mellon Ventures where she covered everything regarding term sheets. We keep this as a free resource at FundingPost - you can view it here: Term Sheets
