What is a Term Sheet and Shareholders’ Agreement?

When you raise funds for your startup—whether from angel investors, VCs, or friends & family—you can’t rely on verbal promises or casual WhatsApp chats. Fundraising is serious business, and it needs solid legal backing.

A Term Sheet is a summary of the key deal terms agreed between the founders and the investor, like how much equity the investor will get, at what valuation, board rights, and exit options. It’s like a handshake agreement on paper.

Once the term sheet is agreed upon, both parties sign a Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA). This is a detailed legal document that outlines the final deal terms, governance rights, responsibilities, restrictions, and exit clauses. It is legally binding and can protect both founders and investors from future disputes.
