The Convertible Equity Term Sheet is commonly used in early-stage funding scenarios where determining a company's immediate valuation is challenging. Under English and Welsh law, this document provides a foundation for investment that converts to equity upon triggering events, typically a qualified funding round or exit. It offers investors potential upside through discount rates and valuation caps while providing companies with immediate capital without complex equity negotiations. The document includes essential terms such as investment amount, conversion mechanics, investor rights, and protection provisions.
