Translate a Venture Capital Term Sheet Into Its Real Business Implications

The term sheet is mostly standard and your lawyer says it looks fine. This goes further: the actual cap table at three exit values, what the investors can block or veto, the term most likely to cause a problem in the next round, and the one clause most founders accept without negotiating that they probably should. Paste the key terms.

**Translate** the term sheet into its business implications:
1. The economic terms: what the cap table looks like post-close and what founders own at a range of exit values
2. The control terms: what decisions investors can block, veto, or require consent for
3. The term most likely to cause a problem at a future fundraising round and why
4. One term that is negotiable but is often accepted without pushback, and what a better version looks like
