Ever been promised ₹1 crore for your startup — only to realise later it’s coming in 3 parts, each with a different “condition”? That’s what happens when your Investment Amount and Payment Terms aren’t crystal clear. As a founder, always push for a single installment — because multiple tranches = more control, shifting goalposts, and funding delays when you need cash the most. And if it’s an international deal? Use USD with a floating exchange rate — so your funding doesn’t shrink due to currency swings. Don’t just chase the cheque — define your runway. I’m breaking down more founder-first legal tips in this Term Sheet series — follow along!
