Yesterday we had the amazing opportunity to dive deep into the topic of #termsheets and watch Max Narr, General Partner Blue Forest Ventures, and Antong Yin 🖇️, Co-Founder & CEO acemate.ai, negotiate real term sheet conditions live on stage. With expert analysis from Andrea Schlote, Venture Capital Lawyer Bird & Bird, and Caspar Schroth, Notary and Attorney GLORI Rechtsanwälte und Notare, we were guided through the legal aspects of term sheets. From share price, #valuations, to #vesting, #vsop and other common areas for pitfalls - this workshop provided us with essential knowledge and gave us practical, actionable tips to enter fundraising. Some of our key learnings for founders are: 💡 Have a proper legal set-up from the beginning with support from professionals 💡Don’t always push for the highest company valuation; keep future dilution in mind 💡Avoid Convertible Loans for proper financing rounds; they rarely save time and costs 💡Participating liquidation preferences should be a red flag for founders 💡Integrate vesting clauses in incorporation articles to protect your founding team in case of leavers - good or bad Thank you to Max, Antong, Andrea and Caspar for sharing your vast experience with us! We look forward to applying what we have learned and navigate future VC negotiations with confidence. 💪
