The Graveyard of Dead Deals
1.
The “Graveyard of
Dead Deals” R.I.P. It’s near Halloween so we thought it might be appropriate to visit the “Graveyard of Dead Deals”: the final resting place for early stage deals that expired prior to investment. Please take a walk and view the gravestones of deals gone bad and explore some possible modifications that may have “revived” the deal. We hope the information included helps entrepreneurs avoid “deal killers” and keeps your deal out of the “Graveyard of Dead Deals”! “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
2.
R.I.P. “Product Issues”
“Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
3.
BE UNIQUE:
have a unique product or service. Have strong IP or proprietary technology. BUILD MOAT: have a barrier to competition. Ideally: be a disruptive force in your market. R.I.P. “Product Issues” “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
4.
R.I.P. “Management Issues”
“Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
5.
BE “COACHABLE”:
consider investor feedback. Vary team strengths: startup and growth stage. Value success of company over personal goals. BE COMMITTED: have “skin in the game”. R.I.P. “Management Issues” “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
6.
R.I.P. “Valuation too High”
“Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
7.
Have “reasonable”
valuation: later rounds build on it. Use “comps” or “comparables”: company or industry. Investors see lots of deals, value their input. R.I.P. “Valuation too High” “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
8.
R.I.P. “No Market Validation”
“Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
9.
Investors want
high growth, will market support it? Potential customer reference(s), what is their pain? Ideally: prototype, test market and show data. R.I.P. “No Market Validation” “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
10.
R.I.P. “No Exit” “Graveyard
of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
11.
Be explicit
about plan for future investor exit. Set expectations about timeframe and value. IPOs: highly unlikely without HUGE growth. M&A: more likely exit in a reasonable timeframe. R.I.P. “No Exit” “Graveyard of Dead Deals” ©2010 Tech Coast Angels
12.
