You’ve got a signed term sheet. Congrats. But don’t relax just yet — the path from signing to closing is where things often fall apart.
The usual culprits:
- Misaligned expectations around timelines and diligence
- Loose language that creates room for re-trades
- Late-stage surprises from investors or counsel
A clean term sheet doesn’t guarantee a clean close. At HVA, we keep founders and funds ahead of the curve — flagging issues early and making sure execution matches intent.
