Negotiating of your start-up’s next financing round starts with the term sheet. But its importance is often underestimated by founders. This panel discussion is about the ropes of negotiating a term-sheet and to get a better understanding of the investor’s, founder’s and lawyer’s perspective. For our panel we have therefore assembled experts from all three areas, including Clemens Koós (Investment Manager at signals Venture Capital), Stefan Jorgensen (CEO and Founder at Itembase), and Kristian Lutz and Johannes Steinacher (Lawyers at HYAZINTH).
