Startup Valuation & More
Details
Deal terms can mean the difference between founders and employees receiving millions upon the sale of a company or walking away with nothing. Without an understanding of the effects of the rights and preferences of different share classes, founders and employees can find themselves disappointed with the return they receive for the hard work needed to grow a startup company.
Topics will include:
• A brief look at what investors look for when considering investing in a startup and what founders should look for in an investor.
• An explanation of typical deal terms and how they affect founders and equity holders.
• What is section 409A of the IRS tax code and why should you care? What steps are needed to shield founders and employees from the tax consequences associated with granting employee stock options.
