DealMaker, the All-Female Edition: Mock Term Sheet Negotiation in Real Time
Deal-setting is probably one of the most nerve-racking things a startup founder will experience when building a company. Negotiating the future of your company can seem quite daunting, especially if you don’t know what to expect or how to prepare. And it's particularly daunting if you're a female founder. So, this time we take you through the whole process, and we feature an all-female cast: two tech entrepreneurs in different stages of development, one investor, one attorney and a moderator.

A recent headline from Entrepreneur magazine:
"Out of $85 Billion in VC funding last year (2018), Only 2.2 percent went to female founders. And every year, women of color get less than 1 percent of total funding."

What do the terms “anti-dilution clause,” “pre-emptive and preference rights,” or “protective provisions” mean? We have all the jargon and clauses covered for you!
Observe an experienced venture capitalist negotiate the terms of an early-stage financing deal with a successful entrepreneur and her well-versed legal advisor.
