Overview
What this document actually does
A term sheet records the key terms of an investment: valuation, investment amount, instrument (equity, CCPS, CCD, SAFE), and shareholding post-investment.
It defines investor protections: liquidation preference, anti-dilution, dividend rights, and information rights.
It covers control: board composition, reserved matters (veto rights), and founder obligations.
It addresses exits and liquidity: drag-along, tag-along, buyback, and IPO-related provisions.
Like an LOI, it's typically non-binding except for confidentiality, exclusivity, and governing provisions — and it becomes the blueprint for the shareholders agreement.
Benefits
Why founders get this drafted or reviewed through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Economics made transparent
We model what liquidation preference and anti-dilution actually mean for founder ownership in downside scenarios — not just the headline valuation.
Control terms negotiated
Board seats, veto lists, and reserved matters are where founders unknowingly give away control. We negotiate these line by line.
Founder protections included
Vesting, ESOP pool sizing, and founder employment terms are addressed from the founder's side — not just the investor's.
Clean path to definitive documents
A precise term sheet makes the shareholders agreement faster and cheaper to close.
Documents

If a founder or investor is outside India
Foreign ownership is possible in many sectors, but it adds document authentication, banking and FEMA work. Set the route before funds move.
Plan before you start
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Confirm the Indian resident director arrangement
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing
- Allow time for apostilled or consularised documents
Plan for after setup
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early
