Term Sheet Decoded: A Practical Guide to Venture Capital Deals

Robyn Xu

This book is designed as a practical, comprehensive guide to the structure, strategy, and negotiation of VC deals. You will learn how term sheets work, why they are structured the way they are, and how each clause affects valuation, dilution, governance, and eventual exits.
Throughout the chapters, we will explore:
  • How valuation and cap tables actually work
  • What investors truly care about-and why
  • How protective provisions and board rights shape control
  • How founder-focused clauses can protect both sides
  • How SAFEs, convertibles, and alternative structures work
  • What to negotiate, when to compromise, and how to build leverage
  • Real examples of good, bad, and disastrous term sheet structures
