Who Needs This
Founders reviewing VC term sheets and lead investors needing Thailand-enforceable terms.
Required Documents
- Received term sheet
- Current cap table + option pool
- 3-year financial model
- Prior investor rights (existing SHA, SAFEs, notes)
Common Pitfalls
- '2x participating' liquidation preference = double dip; negotiate to '1x non-participating'
- 'Full ratchet' anti-dilution punishes founders — push for 'broad-based weighted average'
- Board seats giving investors > 50% = loss of founder control
- Drag-along without a minimum price = forced sale at any price
Typical Use-cases
- Founder comparing two term sheets from Thai + Singapore VCs
- Startup with 5 outstanding SAFEs negotiating Series A to cap founder dilution at 30%
- CVC seeking ROFR + information rights — right-sizing scope
FAQ
- Are term sheets binding?
- Mostly non-binding except for exclusivity (30–60 day no-shop) and confidentiality — walking away without cause can trigger damages.
- When should I hire counsel?
- Always before signing — bad terms carry into the definitive docs and are hard to reopen.
- How much can I negotiate valuation?
- Typically ±15–25% depending on traction, comparable rounds, and competitive tension.
