Fact of Life: Money is Worth More Than Sweat, Blood & Tears
In many ways, reading between the lines of venture investment termsheets allow us a tiny window into the life cycle of a startup. In these termsheets, VC’s tried to anticipate all that could happen (financially) to a start up from down rounds, mergers, IPO’s, asset sales, founder complications, to future conflicts of interests. Its as if the term sheet was borne of thousands of man hours of scenerio planning to account for all things that could happen and to protect the VC’s from negative outcomes (read losing money). Of course, by just reading them, it is hard to extrapolate the various scenerios which VC’s are thinking of.
In the past year though, no one has done more to shed light into these issues than the blog conversations between Tom Evslin , Fred Wilson , and Brad Feld . The latest between Brad and Tom on founder vesting should strike a nerve for all entrepenuer, especially the younger ones without the track record or leverage when negotiating.
The title of this post is certainly a little facetious . Most entrepeneurs do not lose blood and not too often tears (the drama involved is rarely for the weak of stomach and sensitive type). But certainly a few grey hairs, dark circles, and ulcers later, I’ve come to conclusion that money does trump the many things entrepeneurs bring to the table. We get common they get preferred. They get participating we get non. They get liquidation preferrences, we get nice hand shakes. (more from me here on liquidation preferences )The list goes on and on. (BTW I just thought of another inequity, why is the employee pool allocated pre-investment rather than post? hmm . . this deserves another post maybe by Mr. Daley who is an expert on this topic )
When it comes to founder vesting, this is where the line must be draw"
