Roadmap of Venture Capital and Angel Funding - Part 2 (Live Replay from July 16, 2020)

Thank you

Thank you for joining us today.

Description

Rapidly growing companies often raise capital in "angel" or venture capital transactions. Investors provide capital in exchange for carefully structured equity rights and frequently some form of governance rights. Investors also often provide the company with industry expertise, contacts, and access that may be as valuable as financial capital.

These funding transactions can take a startup or more mature company to higher levels of growth. But they are complex transactions that can involve a dozen or more interrelated documents.

This program provides a practical guide to the stages and documentation of an angel or venture capital transaction.

Part 2 topics include:

  • Review of most highly negotiated terms in funding deals
  • Investor protections – information & veto rights, liquidity event rights
  • Liquidation preferences, anti-dilution rights, and dividends
  • Striking the right balance between founders/managers and investors on the board
  • Options pools for founders, managers and employees
