This is by far the most widely used title by every venture capitalist. This short book does an excellent job of outlining each section of a term sheet for a typical venture capital financing. Each term sheet section is briefly described and examples are given of investor favorable, company favorable and middle of the road language.
Target readers:
Entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, lawyers, investment banker or financial executives

From the publisher
Term Sheets & Valuations is the first ever in-depth look at the nuts and buts of terms sheets and valuations. The book, written by leading venture capitalist Alexander Wilmerding of Boston Capital Ventures, covers topics such What is a Term Sheet, How to Examine a Term Sheet, A Section-by-Section View of a Term Sheet, Valuations, What Every Entrepreneur & Executive Needs to Know About Term Sheets, Valuation Parameters, and East Coast Versus West Coast Rules. In addition, the book includes an actual term sheet from a leading law firm with line by line descriptions of each clause, what can/should be negotiated, and the important points to pay attention to. A must have book for any executive, entrepreneur, or financial professional.

This is a first rate book-regardless if you are a seasoned venture capitalist or first time entrepreneur. Having been a venture capitalist for 22 years now, the term sheet in this book is boilerplate-but it is 1 of the 4 boilerplate term sheets every legitimate lawyer/venture capitalist uses as a term sheet-and available for the first time ever in the "public domain." In addition, what makes the book so valauble is the line by line wording and analysis for entrepreneur favorable, investor favorable and neutral. I highly recommend this book to every entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and executive of every level-it is a MUST have on your bookshelf as a timeless reference. |

The author takes standard term sheets and analyzes each key section according to what is investor favorable, company favorable, or neutral. This is a great approach, as it enables to explore the potential extremes in a term sheet section. The examples are indeed boilerplate, but it nevertheless serves as an excellent introduction to term sheets. I've been able to apply the concepts discussed in the book to the analyses of term sheets at our firm...a testament to this book's utility. Overall, an excellent value. |

This is by far the most widely used title by every venture capitalist. I would highly recommend this book to every vc, lawyer, and management team member (especially) of every company looking to obtain venture financing. You could not find better advice on negotation points, changes to wording or overall guidance on a term sheet than Wilmerding's advice in this book. Especially look at Chapter 3 where Wilmerding goes through line by line what every parapraph means on a term sheet. Also check out Wilmerding's other book, Deal Terms, or Raising VC From a Tier 1 Firm (which includes the entire text from Term Sheets & Valuations and Deal Terms). |

This book is really the industry bible for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The term sheet included with all the explanations is first-rate - and for once, explanined in a very efficient way. |
