A Play in Three Acts
CAST & SETTING
CAST
Entrepreneur..................................................................Siena Colegrave
Siena, an engineer by training, spent many years in the labs of a large technology company. She is
now leading a group of her former work colleagues into a new tech start-up. Having spotted the
growing interest in electric cars, Siena and her team have developed a product that sits between the
power source (i.e., wall plug) and the car charging port that speeds charge times by 30%-50% (in
early lab tests of a crude prototype). SpeedyCharge needs $500-750,000 to develop a beta version
of the product and place it with a local electric car club who have signed on to beta test it.
Angel Investor........................................................................ Will Perkins
Will, a lawyer by training, now spends his time investing in early-stage growth companies as an angel
and, together with his group of old friends, functions almost as an angel fund.
SETTING
Having been introduced through a mutual connection, Siena and Will are meeting in person for the first time
at a local craft beer hall to discuss and negotiate terms for an angel investment round led by Will. Prior to
this meeting, Siena and Will had a long “meeting” via teleconference where Siena walked Will through
SpeedyCharge’s pitch deck and his business model. Will showed a willingness to invest, but Will wanted to
meet in person to negotiate terms.

Coming to Terms with Angel & Venture Term Sheets

  • 1. Understanding Angel and Venture Term Sheets: William Perkins, Partner Siena Colegrave, AssociateApril 17, 2014 A Play in Three Acts
  • 2. CAST & SETTING CAST Entrepreneur..................................................................Siena Colegrave Siena, an engineer by training, spent many years in the labs of a large technology company. She is now leading a group of her former work colleagues into a new tech start-up. Having spotted the growing interest in electric cars, Siena and her team have developed a product that sits between the power source (i.e., wall plug) and the car charging port that speeds charge times by 30%-50% (in early lab tests of a crude prototype). SpeedyCharge needs $500-750,000 to develop a beta version of the product and place it with a local electric car club who have signed on to beta test it. Angel Investor........................................................................ Will Perkins Will, a lawyer by training, now spends his time investing in early-stage growth companies as an angel and, together with his group of old friends, functions almost as an angel fund. SETTING Having been introduced through a mutual connection, Siena and Will are meeting in person for the first time at a local craft beer hall to discuss and negotiate terms for an angel investment round led by Will. Prior to this meeting, Siena and Will had a long “meeting” via teleconference where Siena walked Will through SpeedyCharge’s pitch deck and his business model. Will showed a willingness to invest, but Will wanted to meet in person to negotiate terms.
