The Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Program (formerly the NYU Law Venture Fund) is hosting an in-person evening workshop to provide an introduction to early stage venture capital valuations and term sheets. We will explore SAFEs, convertible debt and preferred stock. The workshop will focus on understanding pre- and post-money valuations and how these terms are impacted by liquidation preferences, warrants, anti-dilution and related provisions. We will also discuss the importance of various provisions that impact operations and control.
This workshop will be led by Jono Rosen '97. Jono Rosen is the Managing Partner at Moss Valley Capital, LLC, a private investment fund.
