It packs a lot of wisdom into a very dense form, and I'm sure many keynotes could be written from this material. But the sad fact is that the simple <i>term sheets</i> of the 1990's, which evolved terms to protect professional investors from errant and/or naive founders, have morphed into Darth-Vader-esque <i>term books</i> which can be toxic to everyone in sight.

But the sad fact is that the simple term sheets of the 1990’s, which evolved terms to protect professional investors from errant and/or naive founders, have morphed into Darth-Vader-esque term books which can be toxic to everyone in sight.

Great work!
