Term Sheet

Term Sheet is a document that summarizes the key proposed terms of an investment or acquisition, often serving as the basis for drafting definitive agreements and guiding diligence and negotiation. In venture capital, a Term Sheet typically covers valuation, security type, governance, investor rights, and closing conditions, and a Term Sheet may be non-binding except for provisions like exclusivity and confidentiality.
