The HSBC VC Term Sheet Guide 2025 just dropped — built on 588 term sheets from 27 law firms, representing one-third of all UK VC deals >£0.5M in 2024. It's one of the most practical, data-backed resources for anyone raising capital in Europe.

🧠 It breaks down what’s actually happening in today’s deals — from valuations to board seats, option pools, founder vesting, and liquidation preferences.

💬 I had the chance to contribute my perspective (you can find it on pages 5 and 17), and it’s an honor to be featured alongside some of the most respected voices in the ecosystem.

Among them: ▫️ Antoine Moyroud (Lightspeed) ▫️ Tom Wehmeier (Atomico) ▫️ Chris Tottman (Notion Capital, Included VC) ▫️ Chris Smith (Playfair Capital) ▫️ Pam Garside (Cambridge Angels) ▫️ Vanessa Vasquez (Seedcamp) ▫️ Dan Bowyer (SuperSeed)

Whether you're a founder, VC, lawyer, or angel — this is a must-read.
