The Term Sheet Room

Founders in Delhi NCR who are stuck on fundraising — pre-raise, mid-raise, or quietly stalled — and want the investor side explained properly, without a pitch attached to it.

Most founders learn how VCs invest by being rejected repeatedly and guessing at the reason. This room compresses that into one evening with someone who sits on the other side of the table and will say the parts that never make it into the email.

1. 01

   A working masterclass from an investor: how a fund actually reaches a decision, what the room argues about, where deals quietly die.

2. 02

   The mechanics said out loud — cheque sizes, ownership targets, which terms matter and which ones founders over-negotiate.

3. 03

   Open floor, with beers. Ask the question you would not ask on a call.

4. 04

   The room stays back afterwards. A good share of the value is the founders sitting next to you.

An investor, hosting on the record. Named when applications open.

• Bring one real, specific question about your own raise.
• No pitching the investor in the room. That is the trade that makes everyone speak freely.
