What Is a Term Sheet?
A term sheet is a non-binding agreement that outlines the key terms and conditions of a potential investment, funding round, or acquisition. It acts as a blueprint for negotiation, allowing both parties to align expectations before committing to a legally binding agreement.
Typically issued by venture capitalists, angel investors, financial institutions, or acquiring companies, a term sheet is crucial for ensuring transparency, reducing negotiation risk, and speeding up the deal-making process.
