You'll gain a broad understanding of the terms typically seen in an investor term sheet.  This includes terms related to getting a deal done initially (i.e. valuation, amount of investment), terms that affect a startup as it grows (i.e. decision and control rights) and terms related to getting out of a deal (i.e. liquidation preferences, drag-along rights).  Best practices around negotiating a term sheet as well as pitfalls to avoid are also discussed.
