Edu: Term Sheet Pitfalls – Don’t Turn Your Cap Table Into a Crap Table

Darker times in venture have seen the return of some old investment terms that haven’t had much of an airing lately: warrants, participating liquidation preferences, tranches, and more. These aren’t always bad, but if you’re not careful you can end up with a cap table that makes you uninvestable in future rounds.

In this episode, Yaniv is once more joined by Jessy Wu, Investment Principal at Afterwork Ventures, to talk through a rogue’s gallery of investment terms, what they mean, and how to think about them.
