Opportunity brief
The boardroom doors are closed, the term sheet is on the table, and millions of dollars are hanging in the balance. In the high-stakes arena of venture capital and corporate mergers, having a great product is only half the battle; the real war is won during the negotiation. When a founder walks away from a ₹1 crore check for a 20% equity slice, is it a stroke of genius driven by valuation expectations, or a fatal miscalculation of opportunity cost?
