Term sheets are an important tool for companies seeking angel funds or venture capital funds.  Yet they are often written in arcane or obscure language.  What’s “Anti-Dilution” and what effect does it have?  In point of fact, the difference between “full ratchet” and weighted average Anti-Dilution can mean millions of dollars to the founders.  That’s real money. 

Please join us for a lively discussion of Term Sheets.  This seminar will be presented by Mitch Woolery and Mariza McKee, attorneys with Kutak Rock LLP.  In the seminar, you will learn how to navigate term sheet provisions, with a focus on how key deal terms protect and impact the entrepreneur.  Topics covered will include key deal points, how to negotiate to the satisfaction of both parties, and what terms and conditions are commonly used by angel and venture capital investors in funding early stage ventures.
