Ever been promised โ‚น1 crore for your startup โ€” only to realise later itโ€™s coming in 3 parts, each with a different โ€œconditionโ€? Thatโ€™s what happens when your Investment Amount and Payment Terms arenโ€™t crystal clear. As a founder, always push for a single installment โ€” because multiple tranches = more control, shifting goalposts, and funding delays when you need cash the most. And if itโ€™s an international deal? Use USD with a floating exchange rate โ€” so your funding doesnโ€™t shrink due to currency swings. Donโ€™t just chase the cheque โ€” define your runway. Iโ€™m breaking down more founder-first legal tips in this Term Sheet series โ€” follow along!
