Navigating early-stage equity financing requires a clear understanding of deal structures and term sheet terms to protect your startup's long-term future.

Join top startup attorneys from General Legal and VCs during LA Tech Week for a practical workshop designed to help founders navigate funding rounds with confidence. You will walk away with actionable insights on choosing the right financing vehicles, spotting high-stakes term sheet provisions that can make or break a deal, and strategically managing your cap table for a smooth investor diligence process.

Qapita and General Legal will be providing wine and light refreshments to smooth the networking process.
