Recent Review: "As an entrepreneur, I wear many hats, and have focused on raising capital for my company. I was excited to finally get interest from a venture capital company, who presented me with a term sheet. I had zero idea if it was good or not. I immediately searched for a course so I could learn, and this course is what I took. Amazing. I feel far more empowered now to deal with the investors and make sure I get a fair deal." - Zhu C
