VCs ask male entrepreneurs how they'll WIN & female entrepreneurs how they'll AVOID LOSING @sciam @LauraHuangLA https://t.co/Vxs2jua8e7

#WomenInBusiness be wary of the "other" terms in a #VC term sheet, even at a rich valuation. @zns2101 shares why👇

6/ A founder should remember that his or her passion, company, and entire financial future may be more like a lottery ticket to a VC. There can be situations where incentives aren’t fully aligned.

Standard term sheets often give investors the power.
