You MUST clearly understand and effectively leverage all options of your startup financing deal

Experienced startup attorneys, angel and VC investors, are able to identify which negotiable term sheet provisions are favorable to investors versus founders. However, not all provisions are created equal - some provisions have a much bigger impact on how the startup value is divided. So how good is the favorable term and how bad is the unfavorable one? What are the trade-offs between the terms of the deal? In some cases a single check mark in the term sheet assigns an additional 10% of the company’s present value to investors or founders.
