Real Talk

This week's cut is about the reserve — the money nobody at the table has ever seen. A drawer pulled open in a back room, a canvas bag tied shut with old cord, and a number counted once and never said…

This week's cut is about the term sheet — the offer to buy the whole thing while it is still standing. A leather folder on conference-room glass, twelve pages, one number at the bottom, and a broker s…
