How this service works
Startup funding intelligence API. VC round data, investor matching, pitch deck scoring, term sheet decoding, cap table modeling, global accelerator directory, market sizing, legal formation, comparable deals, and due diligence prep. All endpoints require x402 payment (USDC on Base mainnet) via the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.
Output
A structured analysis including plain-English explanations of every clause, a list of founder-hostile red flags with severity indicators, comparisons to typical market standards for each term, and specific actionable negotiation recommendations the founder can use in conversations with investors.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“I just got a term sheet from a Series A investor — can you decode it for me clause by clause, flag anything that's founder-hostile, tell me how it compares to market norms, and give me specific negotiation tips? Here's the full text: [paste term sheet text]”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://venturepulse-nine.vercel.app/api/startup/term-sheetWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a founder has received an actual term sheet and needs immediate, structured guidance on what each clause means, whether terms are standard or predatory, and how to negotiate — as opposed to general fundraising education or comparable deal lookup. It is distinct from VenturePulse's cap table modeler (which models dilution) or comparable deal analysis (which benchmarks valuations).
Side effects
- Empty or missing term sheet text returns an error
- Malformed or non-term-sheet content may produce generic or low-quality output
- Very long term sheets may be truncated or partially analyzed
- Network timeout if processing takes too long
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
