Both Sides of the Table

We received so much positive feedback from our This Week in Venture Capital show walking through valuation calculations & term sheets that we decided to do a Q&A show this week to address topics that entrepreneurs want to learn about. In fact, far better if you haven’t raised venture capital.

Back in 1999 when I first raised venture capital I had zero knowledge of what a fair term sheet looked like or how to value my company. Due to competitive markets we ended up with a pretty good term sheet until we needed to raise money in April 2001 and then we got completely screwed. No gotchas.

On the phone … Me: So, you raised venture capital? Him: But it’s much cheaper to just use the Series Seed term sheets that every law firm has put out so convertible notes make more sense because they’re cheaper and easier. We raised a seed round. About $1 million. Me: At what price? Me: With a cap?

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. My blog linked to Brad Feld’s blog because I was so grateful for his series on term sheets and he was one of the biggest reasons that as a VC I felt compelled to blog.

It will be the 105th deal out of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, the firm I started back in September 2012, and it will be the last deal I’ll be making out of my third fund. It will also be my last venture capital deal. For me, I don’t mind sharing how I think about it. No new investments. No more responding to fundraising decks.

This is part of my ongoing series on Raising Venture Capital. Not so in venture capital. But what about once you have a term sheet? My chips were down in late 2000 / early 2001. I often tell people that raising money is worse than getting married. You’re tied at the hip to your VC.
