Of pitching his startup to several different investors after a few months, he finally had a term sheet in hand. Despite this tremendous landmark, Kapoor knew it was just the beginning of a long procedure for raising money.
He just had three days to suggest if he would like to begin the diligence process and to get back to Sharma. Many others were utterly alien to him, while he was comfortable with a few of the terms venture capital investors put in their contracts. Which terms were significant? Which ones should he focus on negotiating? He also understood that money was only part of what the venture capital investors brought to the table.

Kapoor had prior knowledge of his busy schedule ahead of him before getting back to Vikram Sharma as he thought through all of these questions.
