How a $3B Robotics Raise Actually Gets Done: From Term Sheet to Close

​Founder Deal Mechanics: Inside a $3B Robotics Raise

​A robotics company raised hundreds of millions and had to negotiate what that actually meant for the founder, the board, and the employees. On October 29, we walk one real venture deal from term sheet to close, with both sides of the table in the room.

​Why come
If any of these sound familiar, this night is for you:
• You're pre-seed / Series A and the next term sheet will change your cap table for good
