?? Founders: Are you ready to raise money but not sure how equity actually works? You’re not alone. Many startup founders hear terms like "cap table" and "term sheet" and assume they’re things to worry about later. But understanding who owns what in your company—and how that changes when you bring on investors—is one of the most important things you can learn early on. CAP TABLE: a simple way of tracking who owns shares in your company. TERM SHEET: the document that lays out the key terms of an investment. Without understanding these concepts, founders often give away too much equity, accept unfavorable terms, or create messy ownership structures that scare away future investors. Join us for our Founder Workshop: "Cap Table Modeling & Term Sheet Construction" at Venture Mechanics, today at 6pm! Experts Brooks Lindsay and Bill Dillmeier will break down these complex topics into actionable steps you can implement immediately. Whether you’re raising your first round or just want to understand startup finance better, this session is for you. ??? When: Today, Tuesday, March 11th @ 6:00 PM (arrive early for networking) ?? Where: Venture Mechanics, 14110 NE 21st St, Bellevue, WA 98007 (free parking available!) ?? Register: https://lnkd.in/gMrYEyiY ?? Light snacks & drinks provided (bring your own dinner if you like!) This workshop is free for companies in our Catapult Accelerator, and open to all others at regular price. #Startups #Founders #VentureCapital #Equity #CapTable #Fundraising #StartupFinance
