| description | Decode VC term sheet clauses and know what is worth negotiating. |
A term sheet is non-binding but path-dependent — what you sign here sets the template for every future round. This skill translates the jargon and flags what actually matters.
Every term falls into economics (who gets what money) or control (who decides what). Negotiate economics for fairness; negotiate control for survival. Founders who only fight over valuation often give away the company.
Produce a clause-by-clause table: term, plain-English meaning, market-standard position, this sheet's position, and a recommended ask. Flag deviations from standard in priority order. Always recommend a startup-specialist lawyer for the binding documents.
Use when a founder needs to understand or model ownership and dilution. Triggers on "model my cap table", "how much will I be diluted", "option pool", "SAFE conversion", "post-money vs pre-money", "what do I own after this round", "pro rata". Turns equity from a black box into a model the founder controls.
Use when a founder needs to prepare materials for investor due diligence. Triggers on "set up a data room", "what goes in a data room", "diligence checklist", "prepare for due diligence", "investors asked for our data room". Builds the organized, staged room that makes diligence fast and confidence-building.
Run structured commercial, financial, technical, and legal diligence.
Help the user build a realistic budget, a debt-payoff plan, and savings goals from their actual numbers.
Use after a term sheet is signed and the founder needs to get to wired money. Triggers on "how do I close the round", "what happens after the term sheet", "confirmatory diligence", "closing documents", "when does the money arrive", "how long to close", "wire the funds". Manages the path from handshake to cash without deals dying in the home stretch.
Use before a founder starts pitching to check they are actually ready. Triggers on "am I ready to raise", "what do I need before fundraising", "will I pass diligence", "fundraise checklist", "what are investors going to find". Surfaces the gaps that kill rounds before the first meeting.
