Negotiate

Here’s the simple rule. If someone makes you an offer, it’s because they’re interested. If they’re interested, you should negotiate. Not accept; negotiate.

Know what you want

(…) have a limited array of tricks up their sleeve, and you should have considered all of them before setting foot in that room.

  • Stake size
  • Controlling interest
  • Number of Sharks investors
  • A royalty
  • Help
  • Contingencies

Don’t ever leave the room

Don’t let Sharks investors collude.
