About Event

Founderland x Osborne Clarke

A practical, partner-led workshop on how term sheet mechanics actually play out for founders.


Before you sign a term sheet, it’s critical to understand what you’re agreeing to.

Join Founderland and Osborne Clarke for a focused, interactive workshop designed to unpack how term sheet mechanics translate into real outcomes for founders — from control and governance to dilution and long-term incentives.

Led by venture lawyers from Osborne Clarke, this session will walk through the key elements of early-stage financing agreements and how they play out in practice.

The format is intentionally small to allow for open discussion, practical insights, and direct questions.


What We’ll Cover

  • Founder vesting & long-term protection

  • Governance, majorities & decision-making

  • Employee participation (VSOPs) & structuring

  • How early terms shape long-term outcomes


Who This Is For

  • Founders close to incorporation or fundraising

  • Early-stage founders preparing for their first term sheet

  • Operators transitioning into founding roles
