Why Term Sheets Matter More Than You Think

Hi ,

Your term sheet isn’t just another document—it’s the foundation of your company’s future. Solid foundations—just like in building—are the bedrock of a bright future.

The wrong terms could cost you control, dilute your ownership, or compromise your mission. Yet too many founders sign without fully understanding the fine print.

🚨 Liquidation Preferences – Who gets paid first (and how much) when you exit? Some investors double their money before you see a cent.
🚨 Anti-Dilution Clauses – A down round? The wrong clause could wipe out your equity overnight.
🚨 Drag-Along Rights – Can investors force a sale even if you don’t want to exit? It happens.
🚨 Board Control – Think you’ll always be in charge? Investor-controlled boards can push founders out.

For pro-planet founders, the stakes are even higher. Your term sheet needs to align with your mission and long-term vision—ensuring your business isn’t just built for scale, but for real impact.

That’s why Raaise provides founders with a term sheet template, along with other essential fundraising documents, to help you secure the right investment—without compromising your values.
