Thursday, May 8, 2025 16:00to17:00
91社区 Engine Seminar (FDA 3), 3450 rue University, Montreal, H3A 0E8, CA
Now that you have a grasp on how much money you need, this workshop will focus on the "deal". You'll learn what a venture capital fund is, its structure and how they operate, and what venture capitalists (VCs) look for in an early-stage innovation-driven venture. You'll also learn about the typical elements of a term sheet in connection with equity investments and simple agreements for future equity (SAFEs), and caveats when raising money. Finally, we'll explain how a capitalization table works and finish off with a brief overview of minority shareholder rights.
Learning outcomes:
- Describe different sources of funding for a startup, in particular venture capital funds.
- Explain the functioning of capitalization tables.
