Founders with a term sheet on the table - and one chance to respond well.

  • Mid-raise founders

    A term sheet just landed. The next call decides what you live with for the life of the company.

  • Founders & boards reviewing a counter

    A revised offer is on the table - and the team needs one read on whether to sign, push, or walk.

  • Operating partners at funds

    Supporting a portfolio founder through a round - without burning one of your own analysts on a one-off.

The problem

A term sheet reads like an offer. It signs like a contract.

A term sheet looks like an offer and reads like a contract. Miss a liquidation preference, an option-pool shuffle, or an off-market clause, and you pay for it at exit - long after the celebration.

What changes

Three days from now, the next investor call looks different.

  • Outcome · 01

    Walk in with marked-up terms

    Not a list of questions - a clause-by-clause read with the language you'd swap in, ready to send.

  • Outcome · 02

    Know which clauses are off-market

    Benchmarked against comparable rounds in your stage and geography, so you're not negotiating from a feeling.

  • Outcome · 03

    A negotiation list, ranked

    What to die on, what to trade, what to let go - already triaged before your next investor call.

How it works

Three days. One operator. A decision-ready deliverable each day.
