First, there’s the Class F stock documents created by Wilson Sonsini and hosted on TheFunded Founder Institute.  This is by far the most entrepreneur friendly of the three example term sheets.

Second, the Y Combinator hosted Series AA documents, available here. These are representative of Angel funding documents, and were created by Wilson Sonsini.

Third, the NVCA hosted documents, available here. These are more representative of Venture Capitalists, as you may expect.

Last, but certainly not the least, is Wilson Sonsini again (seeing a pattern?) providing an exceptional tool to automatically generate term sheets after answering a questionnaire.

The first from Y Combinator and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is an open source set of equity financing documents. This set of documents can save startups a lot of time and money.

The second set of documents is from the The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and was created by a leading set of VC lawyers.

The intention is similar with both sets of docs, to reduce the time and money required for early stage investments. If you have never seen a Term Sheet before, these might be a bit much to dive into. We’d suggest starting with our Term Sheets topic page or one of our guides.
