CONGRATS! You signed your Series A term sheet! Now, your lawyers want you to review 100ish pages of legalese spread across 5 ‘core’ financing documents…fun, right?

If your lawyers are Venturous Counsel, you can count on a short, easy-to-follow summary of the key points to help you understand exactly what the company is signing up to by raising money. But if you’re not quite so lucky? We’ve still got your back!

This is extremely high level (if you’re interested in more detail, we recommend picking up a copy of “Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer” by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson), but if this is your first ‘rodeo’? Keep it in your back pocket!
