These small group, intimate sessions are to ensure you are maximizing your learnings with the topical experts.
Join us for an interactive deep dive into the term sheet for a preferred stock financing round—common in early to mid-stage fundraising. Preferred stock gives investors special rights and protections compared to common stock, such as priority on payouts if the company is sold, approval rights on major decisions, and safeguards against dilution. In this session, we’ll break down each section of a preferred stock term sheet, explain investor expectations, highlight common pitfalls, and share negotiation strategies so you can confidently navigate your next fundraising conversation.
Perfect for: Early-stage/Mid-stage founders fundraising or thinking about raising soon.
** THIS SESSION IS FOR COMPANIES (>0-$10MM ARR).
