RAISING CAPITAL SERIES: Part 2 – Due Diligence and Investment Documentation Readiness

Part 2 of the Raising Capital Series covers what investors check during due diligence and which documents founders should have ready once an investor is interested. Topics include preparing a due diligence folder, what goes into an Information Memorandum, legal gaps that can stall a deal such as shareholder agreements, constitutions and IP not properly transferred to the company, confirming ownership of work done by suppliers and contractors, burn rate, runway, forecasts and valuation, why investors weigh the team as well as the idea, and what term sheets contain and what follows signing. The session includes time for questions and has no pitching.
