Demystifying Venture Capital Term Sheets

The objective of the report is to increase transparency in the early-stage fundraising ecosystem by demystifying the world of term sheets for founders, as well as providing benchmarks for VCs on how their peers are investing and how competitive their terms are.

We want to give founders the know-how to be able to understand the key components of a term sheet. We hope it will be a useful benchmark, even for founders who have raised capital previously.

As a fast growth SaaS business, Clientshare had reached a stage where institutional capital was required to accelerate growth even further. Mountside Ventures provided Clientshare with expertise on financial modelling coupled with unrivalled access to UK and global investment funds. We raised significant investment in a short time frame with their support.

James Ward

CEO, Clientshare

The team curates high-impact events to connect Venture Capital firms and Limited Partners in a collaborative environment with some great thought leadership. LPs often struggle to find the quality segment of the emerging manager universe, so these events are very efficient for investors of all kinds. If you are an LP looking to access European VC I recommend you get to know Jonathan and his team!

The team at Mountside introduced us to their extensive network of investors in Europe, and held our hands throughout every stage of the fundraising process. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Abraham Okusanya

We found the team at Mountside on hand and responsive at every stage of our raise. They guided us in building a robust financial model, putting together a narrative that would appeal to investors, identifying relevant funds by leveraging their network, and really took the time to understand our needs and vision for the future.
