Повечето Venture Capital Funds са на принципа ограничено партньорство: Venture Capital Fund Limited Partners Pension Funds, Educational Endowments, Foundations, Insurance Companies, Wealthy Individuals General Partners “Venture Capitalists” you will deal with. They may have been Entrepreneurs in a prior life or they might be financial types. The General Partners use an Offering Memorandum to raise a fund of a given size from the Limited Partners by convincing them that the GPs have a unique strategy or expertise in a particular sector or sectors of the market. Fund raising can take a year or more. If the GPs are successful they will convince enough Limited Partners to invest enough money to achieve the size fund offered. When this happens there is a first “close” of the fund. Как са организирани Venture Capital Funds?

Жизнен цикъл Повечето фондове се образуват за 10 години. След това обикновено се ликвидират Максимална доходност между години или по-малко. Първоначални инвестиции For Early Stage Funds it is typical for the Fund to reserve $2-$3 for every $1 invested. For example if the Fund invests $2m in Round 1 they will reserve another $4m -$6m for follow-on rounds. So a $400M Fund might invest $100M in the first rounds of portfolio companies and $300M in follow on rounds. Време на първите инвестиции A Fund usually makes its initial investments in the first 3 years of the Fund life cycle. During the remaining life of the Fund follow-on investments are made and the portfolio companies are positioned for “harvest” Какъв е жизнения цикъл на VC?

Angel Investors Typically a wealthy individual Often with a tech-industry background, in position to judge high-risk investments Usually a small investment (< $1M) in a very early- stage company (demo, 2-3 employees) Motivation: Dramatic return on investment via exit or liquidity event: Initial Public Offering (IPO) of company Subsequent financing rounds Interest in technology and industry

Financial VCs Most common type of VC An investment firm, capital raised from institutions and individuals Often organized as formal VC funds, with limits on size, lifetime and exits Sometimes organized as a holding company Fund compensation: carried interest Holding company compensation: IPO Fund sizes: ~$25M to 10’s of billions Motivation: Purely financial: maximize return on investment IPOs, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Strategic VCs Typically a (small) division of a large technology company Examples: Intel, Cisco, Siemens, AT&T Corporate funding for strategic investment Help companies whose success may spur revenue growth of VC corporation Not exclusively or primarily concerned with return on investment May provide investees with valuable connections and partnerships Typically take a “back seat” role in funding

The Funding Process: Single Round Company and interested VCs find each other Company makes its pitch to multiple VCs: Business plan, executive summary, financial projections with assumptions, competitive analysis Interested VCs engage in due diligence: Technological, market, competitive, business development Legal and accounting A lead investor is identified, rest are follow-on The following are negotiated: Company valuation Size of round Lead-investor share of round Terms of investment Process repeats several times, builds on previous rounds

Terms of Investment Initially laid out in a term sheet (not binding!) Typically comes after a fair amount of DD Valuation + investment  VC equity (share) Other important elements: Board seats and reserved matters Drag-along and tag-along rights Liquidation and dividend preferences Non-competition Full and weighted ratchet Moral: These days, VCs extract a huge amount of control over their portfolio companies.

Basics of Valuation Pre-money valuation V: agreed value of company prior to this round’s investment (I) Post-money valuation V’ = V + I VC equity in company: I/V’ = I/(V+I), not I/V Example: $5M invested on $10M pre-money gives VC 1/3 of the shares, not ½ Partners in a venture vs. outright purchase I and V are items of negotiation Generally company wants large V, VC small V, but there are many subtleties… This round’s V will have an impact on future rounds Possible elements of valuation: Multiple of revenue or earnings Projected percentage of market share

Board Seats and Reserved Matters Corporate boards: Not involved in day-to-day operations Hold extreme control in major corporate events (sale, mergers, acquisitions, IPOs, bankruptcy) Lead VC in each round takes seat(s) Reserved matters (veto or approval): Any sale, acquisition, merger, liquidation Budget approval Executive removal/appointment Strategic or business plan changes During difficult times, companies are often controlled by their VCs

Other Typical VC Rights Right of first refusal on sale of shares Tag-along rights: follow founder sale on pro rata basis Drag-along rights: force sale of company Liquidation preference: multiple of investment No-compete conditions on founders Right to participate in subsequent rounds (usually follow-on) Later VC rights often supercede earlier Anti-Dilution Protection

Why Multiple Rounds and VCs? Multiple rounds: Many points of valuation Company: money gets cheaper if successful VCs: allows specialization in stage/risk Single round wasteful of capital Multiple VCs: Company: Amortization of control! VCs: Share risk Share DD Both: different VC strengths (financial vs. strategic)

So What Do VCs Look For? Committed, experienced management Defensible technology Growth market Significant revenues Realistic sales and marketing plan
