Founder Finance Night: Understanding Term Sheets
Please join us join us for an evening at the iconic Nottingham Spirk building, hosted in partnership with the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and Ohio Startup Network.
We’ll kick off with a short keynote from a seasoned founder or investor, then move into a practical term sheets panel that breaks down the clauses that actually drive outcomes: valuation vs. ownership, liquidation preferences, pro rata, control terms, option pools, and the hidden “gotchas” that show up later.
After the program, stick around for a social with founders, operators, and investors.
If you are raising now, planning to raise this year, or simply want to be prepared, this is the room.
