"The Most Dangerous Clause in Term Sheets That Founders Ignore" Yes, it's the liquidation preference in your term sheet that can quietly screw you. It decides who gets paid first if your startup sells—or flops. Investors might snag 2x their money before you see a dime. I’ve seen rookies sign this blind and lose big. Read it twice, negotiate hard, or you’re just building someone else’s payout. Protect your stake—it’s your company. If you are confused, let's chat.

Definitely true. And honestly, as a founder, you should be the last to eat at the table not the first. Think about it we’ve seen way too many examples this year alone. Founders taking big salaries, then suddenly announcing layoffs. Why wait until the ship is sinking to act responsibly? Most people get this wrong. If your total runway is 100, hire 10 people and pay them 10 each. Keep things sustainable. That’s how real leadership works. Take care of your team first the returns will come back tenfold.

100% agree. Most founders are so focused on getting the first cheque, they ignore what happens at exit. A 2x liquidation preference sounds harmless until you realize you just worked 5 years to make your investor rich, and walked away with peanuts.
