Early Stage Funding – What Investors need to know about getting the deal done?

I come across a lot of early stage investors - many of them are on the Equity Crest platform, and many are new to early stage investing.

There is some FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) among investors on how to set terms, do diligence, do deals and what they should look to protect.

Some of the challenges in the process are:

1. Our eco-system is evolving from venture like documents and process to early stage, and that transition is not yet complete
2. Some of the existing larger angel networks have fairly long term-sheets and documents, and a penchant for elements like tranching
3. Investors are looking to cover downside using documents, which in most cases does not work in early stage equity investing

If you would like a copy of a term-sheet to use to make investing efficient please reach out to me at [email protected].
