Term Sheet

Definition

A term sheet is the mostly non-binding summary of a proposed investment: valuation, round size, liquidation preference, board composition, and key rights, negotiated before final documents.

Wie es im Fundraising vorkommt

A signed term sheet with a no-shop effectively ends the competitive process, so founders collect competing term sheets before signing, not after.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Which term sheet clauses are binding?

Typically exclusivity (no-shop) and confidentiality; the economic terms bind only in definitive documents at closing.

What matters most in a term sheet besides valuation?

Liquidation preference structure, board composition, option pool sizing, and protective provisions; a worse valuation with clean terms often beats the reverse.
