Investment Terms Without the Surprises: Legal Essentials for Founders Registration closes: 04-02-2027 08.00
An investment agreement affects much more than the amount of capital entering your company. It can influence ownership, control, founder obligations, future funding rounds and your options if the company is sold.
This webinar introduces the legal documents and key terms founders should understand before accepting investor capital. You will learn what to look for in a term sheet and how provisions concerning dilution, liquidation preferences, voting rights, founder vesting and board composition may affect you and your company.
You will leave with:
- An overview of the typical legal investment process
- A better understanding of term sheets and investment agreements
- Insight into the terms that can affect control and ownership
Continue with individual advice
