Jay Jumper will be speaking on a webinar for Strafford on the use of side letters in venture capital financing transactions. The panel will discuss the role side letters play in venture capital financing, how these letters operate functionally, drafting and negotiating considerations, rights that are typically included or requested by investors, the implications these letters have on future financing rounds, a sale or an exit event, and potential pitfalls to avoid.
The panel will discuss these and other key considerations:
- What are the current trends in the use of side letters in venture capital transactions?
- What are common rights investors want included in a venture capital side letter?
- How can side letters impact future financing rounds or a sale or exit event?
- What are key considerations and pitfalls to avoid when reviewing, negotiating, or drafting the substantive provisions in side letters?
John Hutar, Partner at DLA Piper and Lindsay Karas Stencel, Partner at Thompson Hine will be joining Jay on the panel.
