Over the years my partner Jason Mendelson and I have heard from numerous people that they’ve been exposed to our Venture Capital Term Sheet Series as reference material in a college course. We are delighted by this and whenever we’ve been asked, we’ve always said (and will continue to always say) “with our blessing.” However, we haven’t kept track of any of this over the year and have a few ideas for things we can do to update the material now that five years have passed.

So – I’m writing with a simple request. If you’ve used, or encountered, our Term Sheet series in a college (undergraduate or graduate) course or any other teaching / seminar environment, can you leave a comment below with the information (school / program / year / professor) or email me the information?

For those of you concerned about nefarious plots on our part, I assure you that we are delighted this material is out there in the public and are happy to have it freely used and passed around for all eternity. I promise we won’t send Jack Bauer your way.

Brad — absolutely used it (& credited you) as a student making a case presentation in a graduate Entrepreneurial Finance course last semester at CU with Professor Leach. It wasn't part of the class material, I found it doing a web search. Helped me get a sweet grade, thanks!

Cool Bob – glad it helped!

Used it in Paul Washington's class on Business Transactions at CU Law. Seth came in to speak as well, and both were incredibly helpful. I'm about to close an A-round for my company and used many of your thoughts in negotiating our term sheet. Thanks!

Brad – It was a key resource for me a few years back in my "Venture Capital and Private Equity" class at Haas/UC Berkeley. It helped me put together a term sheet for a group project that Terry Opdendyk called one of the best he has ever seen. Thanks.

It wasn't part of the course but I found your term sheet series and other posts infinitely more informative and entertaining than the venture capital class I took at Wharton.

We used one of the texts you recommended as well… Venture Capital and the Finance of Innovation, which was written by Andrew Metrick (formerly of Wharton and now at Yale). Like you said in your review, I wholeheartedly agree that only the beginning portions of the book are at all helpful/relevant. Once random expiration options show up, the credibility of the text starts becoming questionable!

Our professors assigned it to us as a pre-reading for a term sheet lecture in our Venture Capital class. The series was a tremendous help when we did our Trendsetter, Inc case analysis.

Hi Brad! We've met a couple times here in Seattle and I admitted to having a cyber-crush on your VC blog archives. I do teach a course in the University of Washington's MBA program (Foster School of Business), on the topic of Venture Capital Investing, and give you major props and full credit as I direct my students to this link. You are the wind beneath my wings. — Rebecca Lovell, Executive Director, Northwest Entrepreneur Network

Brad – we've used your and Jason's whole Term Sheet series as supplemental reading for our term sheet lecture for our VC Class at Rice's MBA Program (Jones Graduate School of Business). Its one of the best, plain english descriptions of term sheets we have encountered. Let us know if should formalize the process for future years. Thanks!
