🌟📚️ Word of the Week: Priced round! 🌟📚️⁠ ⁠ In a priced round, the investor and the startup founder negotiate and agree on an exact valuation for the company, which then determines the price per share of the equity deal. This agreement allows investors, such as the angel investors to buy equity at a predetermined price. Typically, all outstanding convertible notes and SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) agreements convert into equity at this stage. This critical process provides a clear path towards helping companies fuel their growth while providing investors with an opportunity for significant returns. 🚀📚️ Ready to learn and grow in the investment ecosystem? ⁠ Visit https://lnkd.in/dphzbqda to find more resources for new angel investors!⁠ ⁠ #OntarioAngels #angelinvestorsontario #Education #WordOfTheWeek #StartupSuccess #AngelInvestors
