Raising investment is an important milestone in a startup's journey. Depending on what stage you are, the terms of investment varies and so does the nuances related to it. It gets overwhelming for founders to decode various legal terminologies and clauses. In a bid to outperform and also to show that they care more for their client (investors), the term sheet and agreements contain a lot of craps which can be costly to the startups at a later date.
