In the previous episode, we reflected on how we got from a pitch to a term sheet to raise our 1.8m pre-seed round for our Startup Flinn Comply. In this episode, we describe our learnings around signing a pre-seed venture capital funding round after receiving a term sheet. We talk about questions such as:
- What is a term sheet, and what should I pay attention to?
- What are essential terms I should know about and consider when negotiating my funding round?
- How do I structure my cap table?
- How can I ensure a smooth closing process from term-sheet to the actual capital increase?
- What mistakes should I avoid in consideration for future funding rounds?
