VC term sheet valuation: the "option pool shuffle"

​***UPDATE: To preserve the quality of interaction, I'm limiting this free webinar to 10 attendees. Priority will be given to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

​In this webinar on the "option pool shuffle," we will cover the following concepts:

• ​Authorized shares vs. outstanding shares

• ​Option pools and expected dilution

• ​The concept of "fully diluted" cap tables

• ​Headline vs. effective pre-money valuation

• ​Pre-money vs. post-money option pool refreshes

• ​Negotiating the "option pool shuffle"

• ​Using "founder promote" to compare term sheets

​Whether you're a VC, a founder, or aspire to be either, a firm grasp of the "option pool shuffle" will help you understand term sheet valuation mechanics so you can negotiate a better deal.

​*This workshop will involve some (basic) math. Bring a calculator or a spreadsheet.
