Scaling up your Enterprise:
Growth, Finance, Governance
2© Numenor, 2019
Introduction
The 6-18 months following launch of an enterprise or start-up are critical. Once a prototype
has been launched and is in the market, a key priority is to achieve growth.
Known as scaling up, this growth process typically requires achievement in three core
areas:
1. Achieving product / market fit: Continually developing your product and business model
to ensure the widest and deepest possible growth in terms of users;
2. Growing human resources and decision-making capacity: Ensuring that your talent and
governance structures are continually evolving to meet growth requirements;
3. Securing finance: Making sure you have the financial resources to grow, either using
organic cash flow or external financing.
This presentation will offer a brief roadmap to prepare for your scaling up journey. It will
include practical tools, methods and advice for different aspects of scaling, and outline
some common pitfalls seen along the way.

5 Growth Scenarios
1. Organic Growth A company grows organically using its own profitability and
cash flow.
2. Sponsored Growth
A company grows faster by scaling up through advertising or
other means of promotion, usually requiring finance.
3. Mergers &
Acquisitions
A company grows by taking over other businesses, either via
mergers or acquisitions. External financing is usually required.
4. Venture Capital /
Private Equity
A company becomes a platform for growth by combining own
capital with external VC or PE capital. This is a private
transaction.
5. IPO / ICO / Other
Capital Raising
A company lists part of shares on a stock exchange or seeks
alternative financing arrangements (ICO, convertible bond).
This is usually a public transaction (excepting ICOs).

Smart Capital and Stupid Capital
Smart Capital
Has a format investment process.
Makes data-driven investment decisions.
Uses third-party professionals for due diligence.
Challenges assumptions and core logic.
Negotiates complex term sheets.
Requests seniority and capital protection.
Refuses most opportunities.
Implements thesis-driven investments.
Requires board seat and reporting.
Releases equity in phases, based on
milestones.
Makes emotional decisions / FOMO.
Does not investigate / accepts at face value.
No data review.
Does not protect own capital.
Does not request board seat.
Follows the crowd.
Releases equity in lump sum, not tied to milestones.
Stupid Capital
11© Numenor, 2019
Why are Investment Tickets Rising?
Due Diligence Costs
Big4 Accounting Firm: € 25,000 min.
Legal Support: € 75,000+
Technical Specialists: € 15,000+
Travel: € 10,000
KYC Reports: € 5,000
Full time analysts & research teams.
Review 15+ opportunities for each investment
completed.
Lose money on several investments; await
success on a small number of deals.
Own Business Costs
Most VC firms will not look at deals under € 2.5 mln. Most Sand Hill Road
firms are far higher than this.
Most PE firms or investment banks will not do deals under € 10 mln

Thinking about Cyprus
How does Cyprus fit into an innovative future?
1. Sandbox for
Product Launch and
Prototyping
Develop, launch and
monitor in a controlled
environment
Small market size
makes user research
and evaluation easy
Downside: Low market
traction
2. EMEA
Investment Holding
Platform
Use CY as a holding
company location for
assets in EMEA
Attract Chinese, GCC
assets
Downside: Low flights,
high costs, talent issue
3. Demonstrate
sectoral
consolidation play
Consolidate fragmented
industry in a controlled
environment
Use as a future console-
dation platform for Greek
assets
Downside: Low market
traction, high valuations

Conclusions
1. The key role of finance is to help your company grow.
2. If you are asking for finance to get to the prototype or GTM stage, consider
splitting your ask into two stages:
a. Prototype & launch
b. Growth
Your enterprise valuation prior to launch will be different from your valuation
post-launch. Your challenges are also different.
3. Remember that funding rounds can take 6-8 months to close. Plan your
resources and timing accordingly.
4. Make sure your business plan:
a. Includes a strong operations plan to underpin your financial ask
b. Includes an industry-standard growth plan

Teaser
Pitch
29© Numenor, 2019
Approach & Data Quality
1. Getting Attention
Half the battle is getting attention.
Make sure that when you finally
achieve this, you are 100% ready.
Most investors will prioritise a
referral over a cold call. There are
exceptions.
2. Provide Quality
Your teaser should provide
sufficient information to get from
point A (being unknown) to point B
(getting invited to a meeting).
Don’t waste time with nebulous
concepts: answer questions rather
than raise them.
100% ready means:
a. Realistic and well-documented assumptions
b. A complete value chain model
c. A complete growth model (don’t stop at launch).

Revenue or Market Share
Revenue Strategy
✓ Goods or services are charged for
✓ Market share is gained through
discounts, rebates or other market
share mechanisms
✓ A “freemium” approach is often used:
limited functionality for some
services; fees paid for other
✓ Key performance indicators include:
1. Customer acquisitions costs
2. Customer lifetime revenue
3. Unit sales margins
Market Share Strategy
✓ Goods or services are offered for free
✓ Venture capital supports the process
of gaining market share
✓ An unspoken objective is to become
a monopolist: setting the terms of the
market
✓ Key performance indicators include:
1. User growth (# users or active
users)
2. User time (minutes per day,
logins per day, etc)
3. User engagement (likes,
downloads, uploads, etc.)

Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
Lifetime Value How much income will one customer bring over an estimated
“lifetime” of engagement with your firm?
Set Customer Type Customers fall into different bands, based on activity
a. High frequency users (usually 15-20% total)
b. Average users
c. One-time or inactive users (usually 50%+)
Generate ideal customer transaction record over time (5 years?)
Generate weighted average of all customer transactions (renewals, income)
This is your customer LTV
Example: ECN Customer renews 3 times at € 50 per year
LTV = € 150
Set Customer Value
Your customer LTV must be > your Customer Acquisition Cost!

Scaling-up Questions
How will your staffing and payroll evolve over the next five years (after launch)?
Where are your key markets? Where will your key staff be located?
If you needed to hire 50 developers in Cyprus, where will you find them?
Do you have a recruitment plan based on your organisational development?
Will you offer performance-based remuneration?
What share of total operating expenditure is staff costs?
What equity share do key staff members get?
Do you have the managers necessary to manage growth?
Would you, as founder / co-founder, step aside in favour of a CEO?
Would you accept our recommendation of CFO?
58© Numenor, 2019
Conclusions
59© Numenor, 2019
Growth and Capital
Growth today is heavily dependent on capital.
Whether this is cash flow management for own, organic growth, or externally-financed growth,
there is a unique opportunity to grow using external capital.
Themes:
1. Consolidate small players to buy market share.
2. Buy out older competitors facing generational change.
3. Expand nationally in Cyprus; then expand into Greece and elsewhere.
4. Adapt and demonstrate new technology and processes.
5. Avoid capital-heavy investments (like property): invest in market share or market growth.
6. Run a tight ship: professional financial reporting, excellent websites, databases, etc.
60© Numenor, 2019
Growth and Location
If you plan a global service, are you in the right country?
Are you prepared to move yourself and your team into a key market?
Can you access the right technical and other resources in Cyprus?
Can you grow far enough from Cyprus?
How does Cyprus registration affect your corporate valuation?
61© Numenor, 2019
Answer Questions: Don’t Raise Them
You have one chance to pitch correctly.
Show that you have thought deeply about what your growth plan is.
Understand where capital must be applied at each stage of the growth curve.
Understand how equity will be distributed to financing partners, founders and staff.

Scaling up your Enterprise: Growth, Governance and Finance

  • 1. Nicosia • 13-14 March 2019 Scaling up your Enterprise: Growth, Finance, Governance
  • 2. 2© Numenor, 2019 Introduction The 6-18 months following launch of an enterprise or start-up are critical. Once a prototype has been launched and is in the market, a key priority is to achieve growth. Known as scaling up, this growth process typically requires achievement in three core areas: 1. Achieving product / market fit: Continually developing your product and business model to ensure the widest and deepest possible growth in terms of users; 2. Growing human resources and decision-making capacity: Ensuring that your talent and governance structures are continually evolving to meet growth requirements; 3. Securing finance: Making sure you have the financial resources to grow, either using organic cash flow or external financing. This presentation will offer a brief roadmap to prepare for your scaling up journey. It will include practical tools, methods and advice for different aspects of scaling, and outline some common pitfalls seen along the way.

  • 8. 8© Numenor, 2019 5 Growth Scenarios 1. Organic Growth A company grows organically using its own profitability and cash flow. 2. Sponsored Growth A company grows faster by scaling up through advertising or other means of promotion, usually requiring finance. 3. Mergers & Acquisitions A company grows by taking over other businesses, either via mergers or acquisitions. External financing is usually required. 4. Venture Capital / Private Equity A company becomes a platform for growth by combining own capital with external VC or PE capital. This is a private transaction. 5. IPO / ICO / Other Capital Raising A company lists part of shares on a stock exchange or seeks alternative financing arrangements (ICO, convertible bond). This is usually a public transaction (excepting ICOs).

  • 10. 10© Numenor, 2019 Smart Capital and Stupid Capital Smart Capital Has a format investment process. Makes data-driven investment decisions. Uses third-party professionals for due diligence. Challenges assumptions and core logic. Negotiates complex term sheets. Requests seniority and capital protection. Refuses most opportunities. Implements thesis-driven investments. Requires board seat and reporting. Releases equity in phases, based on milestones. Makes emotional decisions / FOMO. Does not investigate / accepts at face value. No data review. Does not protect own capital. Does not request board seat. Follows the crowd. Releases equity in lump sum, not tied to milestones. Stupid Capital

  • 26. 26© Numenor, 2019 Conclusions 1. The key role of finance is to help your company grow. 2. If you are asking for finance to get to the prototype or GTM stage, consider splitting your ask into two stages: a. Prototype & launch b. Growth Your enterprise valuation prior to launch will be different from your valuation post-launch. Your challenges are also different. 3. Remember that funding rounds can take 6-8 months to close. Plan your resources and timing accordingly. 4. Make sure your business plan: a. Includes a strong operations plan to underpin your financial ask b. Includes an industry-standard growth plan

  • 28. 28© Numenor, 2019 A Typical Pitching Cycle “Try / Try Again” Your Business Plan Investor Research & Shortlist Initial Contact (Referral) Teaser Pitch
  • 29. 29© Numenor, 2019 Approach & Data Quality 1. Getting Attention Half the battle is getting attention. Make sure that when you finally achieve this, you are 100% ready. Most investors will prioritise a referral over a cold call. There are exceptions. 2. Provide Quality Your teaser should provide sufficient information to get from point A (being unknown) to point B (getting invited to a meeting). Don’t waste time with nebulous concepts: answer questions rather than raise them. 100% ready means: a. Realistic and well-documented assumptions b. A complete value chain model c. A complete growth model (don’t stop at launch).

  • 31. 31© Numenor, 2019 Revenue or Market Share Revenue Strategy ✓ Goods or services are charged for ✓ Market share is gained through discounts, rebates or other market share mechanisms ✓ A “freemium” approach is often used: limited functionality for some services; fees paid for other ✓ Key performance indicators include: 1. Customer acquisitions costs 2. Customer lifetime revenue 3. Unit sales margins Market Share Strategy ✓ Goods or services are offered for free ✓ Venture capital supports the process of gaining market share ✓ An unspoken objective is to become a monopolist: setting the terms of the market ✓ Key performance indicators include: 1. User growth (# users or active users) 2. User time (minutes per day, logins per day, etc) 3. User engagement (likes, downloads, uploads, etc.)
  • 32. 32© Numenor, 2019 Market & Target Audience Definition Total Available Market The total population of all potential customers in a geographic market. Beachhead Market A subset of the total available market that the company believes it can enter and dominate successfully, prior to moving on to other markets. Service Obtainable Market A conservative and realistic estimate of a target market that can be reached and converted by the company. The closer you can define your target market and customer profiles, the better you can integrate this data into your sales forecast.

  • 57. 57© Numenor, 2019 Scaling-up Questions How will your staffing and payroll evolve over the next five years (after launch)? Where are your key markets? Where will your key staff be located? If you needed to hire 50 developers in Cyprus, where will you find them? Do you have a recruitment plan based on your organisational development? Will you offer performance-based remuneration? What share of total operating expenditure is staff costs? What equity share do key staff members get? Do you have the managers necessary to manage growth? Would you, as founder / co-founder, step aside in favour of a CEO? Would you accept our recommendation of CFO?
  • 59. 59© Numenor, 2019 Growth and Capital Growth today is heavily dependent on capital. Whether this is cash flow management for own, organic growth, or externally-financed growth, there is a unique opportunity to grow using external capital. Themes: 1. Consolidate small players to buy market share. 2. Buy out older competitors facing generational change. 3. Expand nationally in Cyprus; then expand into Greece and elsewhere. 4. Adapt and demonstrate new technology and processes. 5. Avoid capital-heavy investments (like property): invest in market share or market growth. 6. Run a tight ship: professional financial reporting, excellent websites, databases, etc.
  • 60. 60© Numenor, 2019 Growth and Location If you plan a global service, are you in the right country? Are you prepared to move yourself and your team into a key market? Can you access the right technical and other resources in Cyprus? Can you grow far enough from Cyprus? How does Cyprus registration affect your corporate valuation?
  • 61. 61© Numenor, 2019 Answer Questions: Don’t Raise Them You have one chance to pitch correctly. Show that you have thought deeply about what your growth plan is. Understand where capital must be applied at each stage of the growth curve. Understand how equity will be distributed to financing partners, founders and staff.
