“I think pro-rata is the single most important term anyone can negotiate for in a venture
capital investment.” (Source)

Because returns in early stage investing come from a small portion of
your portfolio and therefore, you want to own as much as you can in the winners

Let’s illustrate
![Page 14: Conquering The Term Sheet Everything You Need To Know About Deal Terms Part 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9bf6d760da32f4b8b4859/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ownership % in the company * new investment amount = pro-rata right
Invest $100k at $10M post, you own 1% Say the company raises $5M at $20M premoney They are selling 20% of the company and you would be diluted to 0.8% (without pro-rata)
Formula
Example
If you want to maintain 1% holding, then you would invest 1% of the $5M (or, $50k)

Definition
![Page 20: Conquering The Term Sheet Everything You Need To Know About Deal Terms Part 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9bf6d760da32f4b8b4859/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Weighted Average
Full Ratchet Broad-based Narrow-based
if company issues shares at a lower
price, earlier price is effectively reduced
to price of new shares
NCP = OCP * ((CSO + CSP) / (CSO + CSAP))
NCP = new conversion price OCP = old conversion price CSO = common stock outstanding CSP = common stock purchasable with consideration received by company (i.e. “what the buyer should have bought if it hadn’t been a ‘down round’ issuance”) CSAP = common stock actually purchased in subsequent issuance (i.e., “what the buyer actually bought”)
CSO = ALL shares of stock outstanding, including
options, ESOP, convertible securities
CSO = Only the number of shares of the series of Preferred that is being
adjusted
