Understanding the Funding Stages
Start with a Financing Strategy
• Look for smart money (who invests is
more important than terms)
• Buy top management with first $$$
• Get moving fast, early prototype with
customer feedback
• Focus on one investor and get an intro
• Don’t marry your first date
• Go for the best deal, not the biggest
Financing the Start-up
• Entrepreneur resources
– Savings, credit cards, mortgages, stock
market accounts, friends and family
• Bootstrap
– Hire as few employees as possible
– Lease or share everything
– Use other people’s money
Stage One: Bootstrapping
in an Incubator

• > 400% from time entered to time exited
• > Average annual growth in sales
was $239,535
• 87% of grads still in business
– Only 20% of new start-ups
Do Incubators Meet Needs?

capital, partnerships, professional resources,
product design, first 100 customers

Start with a Financing Strategy • Look for smart money (who invests is more important than terms) • Buy top management with first $$$ • Get moving fast, early prototype with customer feedback • Focus on one investor and get an intro • Don’t marry your first date • Go for the best deal, not the biggest
  • 10. Financing the Start-up • Entrepreneur resources – Savings, credit cards, mortgages, stock market accounts, friends and family • Bootstrap – Hire as few employees as possible – Lease or share everything – Use other people’s money

  • 12. Do Incubators Meet Needs? • Higher order needs need to be met – Human network, access to expertise and capital, partnerships, professional resources, product design, first 100 customers • Some negatives – Perception of being babied – Artificial buffer – Equity stake by incubator

An Unlikely Angel Investment (cont.) • A poorly defined vision for the company • No management team, a solo entrepreneur • Weak management team with no experience • Exit time more than 7 years away • Unfamiliar business or industry • Minority position with no voting rights • Too many co-investors
  • 18. What Winning Angels Do • Consider the source carefully • Focus on the model, not the plan • Emphasize the entrepreneur and the team • Seek a scalable business • Look for the exit • Identify the unfair advantage • Focus on deals where they know something
  • 19. Stage One/Two: Private Placement • Raising capital from private investors – Securities: common/preferred stock, notes, bonds, debentures, limited partnership shares, etc. • Reg D – Sophisticated investors – Blue Sky laws
  • 20. Private Placement • Advantages – Less costly, less time consuming than IPO – Availability of standardized offering statements – Don’t have to file with SEC
  • 21. Alternative Sources • Strategic alliances – R&D limited partnership – Joint venture • Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) • SBIR Grants – Phase I: develop concept and test feasibility – Phase II: pursue the innovation and develop the product – Phase III: commercialize the technology

  • 24. Venture Capital Terms: Basic Principles • VC gets money back first • Participation in upside • Control over fundamental events • Creation of path to liquidity • Preferred stock is the investment security of choice
  • 25. Capital Structure • Investment deal has – Amount of money to be invested – Timing and use of investment moneys – Return on investment to investors – Level of risk involved • Preferred stock or debentures
  • 26. Rules for Dealing with VCs • Know your enemy • Don’t shop the business plan • Approach through a referral • Write a killer executive summary • Check out the terms sheet carefully • Be patient • Be prepared for a staged investment
  • 27. What VCs Relate to • Location can matter • Growth track: bigger is better • 10X investment in 5 years • 25–50% per year • PE = 15:1 or more

  • 29. Ownership • Stage 1: give up 30% + for every $1M • Stages 2–3: give up 8–15% per $1M • Stages 4,5,6: give up 5–6%
  • 30. Your Due Diligence on the VC • Identify your dream teams • Don’t accept a term sheet before due diligence. Stay in control • Request 5 references from each VC
  • 31. Your Due Diligence on the VC (cont.) • Interview references – Why did you choose this firm? – How effective have they been in securing deals and partnerships? – How effective have they been in recruiting board members? – How have they helped your company increase its valuation? – On a scale of 1–5, how would you rate the contact partner?
  • 32. The Initial Public Offering (IPO)
  • 34. Advantages of Going Public • Source of interest-free growth capital • More prestige and clout • Easier to form alliances and negotiate deals • Public stock used to attract employees and reward existing employees

  • 38. Valuation Methods • Multiple of earnings – Market price of common stock/earnings per share • Discounted Cash Flow Analysis – How much an investor would pay today to have a cash flow stream of X dollars for X number of years into the future
  • 39. Other Factors in Valuation • The assumptions used to estimate value • The degree of legitimate control the owner has in the business • Intangibles like a loyal customer list and intellectual property • The bottom line: Negotiation determines the value
