But we had a term sheet !!! One investor played chicken with me by threatening not to approve my next-round financing unless I gave him more equity. I remember the New York Times wrote an interesting article about it. Google DID NOT just acquire our main biz dev partner. We now have to re-convince everybody?

One comment made by Jason was that angels tend to be less sensitive than VCs on valuation and can potentially make it difficult to get a venture financing done at acceptable valuation. A related topic is the standardization of terms. A good comparison of the various "standard" term sheets can be found at Start-up Company Lawyer.

Thanks, Scott Question We’re a startup based in Palo Alto, and we just received a Series A term sheet for a $725,000 investment. This is not uncommon, but I still cringe when I hear it (probably because I was trained at two big law firms in New York City and this kind of stuff typically doesn’t happen there).

You race back to the office to tell everybody how well it went and you wait for the follow-up call to have a partners’ meeting or talk about term sheets or at least dip into due diligence.

While going through my daily reading this morning, I came across a bunch of posts talking about how the sky was falling, Silicon Valley was in turmoil, financing was drying up everywhere, and all the unicorns were doomed. When I was an entrepreneur there was no public information about how term sheets worked or how investors thought.

Financing, that is.I One truth of start-up financing is that it generally takes twice as long and twice as much money to accomplish your milestones. Most companies dont come close to their rose colored financial models prepared when going out for Series A financing. As I said up front, I have mixed emotions about the financing.
