Third Thursday Emerging Company Webinar Series
Early-stage fundraising can be an opportunity to accelerate a company’s growth and set it up for future success, or a pitfall that can create cracks in a company’s capital structure that may not become apparent for months, or even years. This webinar is designed for both startup companies and the attorneys who advise them. Learn how to use convertible notes, Safes, and similar convertible instruments; structure financing terms to ensure that management and investors’ incentives are aligned; and avoid excess dilution and conflicts that may arise in future financing rounds.
In this session we will:
- Review the operation of key financing terms in convertible instruments
- Evaluate the impact of discounts and valuation caps across multiple financing rounds and upon conversion
- Consider strategies for avoiding convertible instrument terms likely to create excess dilution or conflicts and issues in subsequent financing rounds
- Discuss methods to mitigate unfavorable convertible instrument terms in the event they have been or need to be conceded in order to complete a critical financing
Please join us for an informative session to help you and/or your clients formulate a successful strategy for financing your latest venture.
