The very first time I ever negotiated a term sheet (and then legal docs for closing the round) I found the experience very frustrating. I was desperate to get my funding finalized to derisk my business as well as to get capital in the bank to meet our growing cash needs. The other law firm gets the docs. 10 days have passed.

When convertible debt first started being introduced as a “faster, cheaper way to get startups funded” they didn’t have pricing built into them. I agreed to the lower price when you funded me – so I’m cool with that. So we ended up funding the Series A. Why is that a problem?
