by Scott Edward Walker on June 9th, 2011Introduction
This post originally appeared as part of the “Ask the Attorney” column I am writing for VentureBeat; it is another installment of my ongoing series regarding venture capital term sheets. Here are the issues I have addressed to date:
- common mistakes dealing with VC’s
- valuation

- stock options
- exploding term sheets and no-shop provisions
- anti-dilution provisions

- pay-to-play and pull-up provisions

Webinar for Entrepreneurs: Venture Capital Term Sheets (Plus More)
by Scott Edward Walker on April 15th, 2010Introduction
My colleague, Susan Morgan, conducted a webinar yesterday with respect to venture capital term sheets for the “CFO University,” which is group of Chief Financial Officers convening monthly webinars via CFOwise. As I have previously discussed, Susan recently joined our team and has strong financing experience, including 7+ years at Fenwick & West in Silicon Valley where she closed more than 30 financings. (You can learn more about Susan’s background on her bio page.) In conjunction with the webinar, Susan also wrote a brief post on convertible notes. You can see the webinar and read the post below. Many thanks, Scott
