# Term Sheet Negotiation

Founders over-negotiate valuation and under-negotiate the terms that quietly
decide who gets paid and who controls the company. A high valuation wrapped in
bad terms is worse than a fair valuation with clean ones. This skill puts the
leverage where it matters.

## When to use this skill

Use it the moment a term sheet is in hand or imminent, with the pipeline still
warm from [[investor-pipeline-crm]]. Understand each clause first with
[[term-sheet-explainer]]; model the ownership impact in [[cap-table-manager]].

## Leverage comes from the process, not the table
