Some angel investors believe however that convertible notes do not adequately compensate them for the risk that they are assuming, even if there's sizable warrant coverage or discount off of the next round's price. I'm working on a post that I'll publish in a few days about some efforts to streamline angel investor financings through the use of open source forms. @Kevin, there’s nothing wrong with convertible note deals.

I understand most of this, but an angel investor deal really should not be that complex in light of the typical amount of money involved. What's wrong with having a convertible note deal for angels and you can then avoid much of this complexity and valuation issues at such an early stage? Good post.

This applies for both sides of the table. If you are ever looking for Deal Term and/or Valuation comps for private VC backed companies, and/or an online app that handles Cap Table management and modeling, complete with Topic 820 pricing and IRC 409A pricing, all done in a fraction of the time it takes Excel, then take a look at pedatacenter.com/screencasts/short/index.html.
