Term Sheet Win-Win for Startups and Investors #2 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 In the world of investment negotiations, one crucial point often added to term sheets is the right of first refusal. But what exactly does this entail? Essentially, the right of first refusal gives investors a preemptive right to participate in future funding rounds or be informed of potential sales before external parties are involved. This means that before you open up investment opportunities to other parties, your current investor gets the first chance to increase their stake or participate in secondary sales. For instance, if an investor acquired 10% of your company in the initial round, they would have the first right to increase their stake when you decide to sell 20% in a subsequent round. By granting this privilege, investors can maintain or expand their stake in the company. However, if the investor declines this opportunity, the door opens for third-party investors to join the funding round. The right of first refusal thus strikes a delicate balance between the interests of current investors and the growth potential offered by external funding sources. #vc #startups #Termsheet #Fundraising #menastartups #StartupSuccess #startupstrategy  #startupfunding #InvestmentTactics #MultiplesStartupAdvisory

In the last 12 months, $330 billion has been invested in start-ups. Yet, only 0.05% of those seeking funding actually received it. Of those lucky few, a staggering 75% fail to deliver a return for investors. Is the system broken? It’s clearly not delivering on a macro scale, and we believe it's time to make some improvements.

#StartupTerminology A #SAFE, or #SimpleAgreementForFutureEquity, is a popular #investmentinstrument used by #startups. It’s designed to streamline #earlystage #fundraising, offering #investors a #convertibledebt security. Unlike traditional venture capital rounds, SAFEs often have a #valuationCap and a #discountRate. The #valuation cap sets a maximum valuation for #futureequity conversion, while the discount rate offers investors a discount on the #conversionprice. Understanding the terms of a SAFE is essential for both #founders and #investors. A well-structured SAFE can accelerate #fundraising and provide #flexibility, but it’s crucial to consider factors like the #valuationcap, discount rate, and the investor’s rights. #SAFE #startupfunding #venturecapital #earlystagefunding #startupfinance #investing #entrepreneurship #tech

Could not agree more with Anamitra Banerji from Afore Capital. Venture funding is a partnership. The VC brings Capital, and other things to help the startup grow, but it mainly brings capital... money you know. And the startup, brings the technology, people, business, customer. But it doesn't have money, this is why they are reaching out and pitching for you to invest in them. Sometimes, the founders and even employees don't have money, and they bring it from their own savings. You want your founders to feel relief and sense of trust when they partner with you. VCs that charge the startup for legal fees, need to understand that it's a bad origin place to start that kind of partnership. Unfortunately, I have seen this in Europe even more than in the US, and in early stages when startups are... let's say the truth, are poor. If you are making a deal, it's all about risk, and that is the price a VC can take, 30k USD of legal fees, don't put that pressure on the founders who don't have that money! #VentureCapital #LegalFees #Negotiation #VentureFundraising #Investments #Startups #DueDiligence #Founders

//rant on// There seems to be a shift with tighter markets for pre-seed investors to expect some revenue. This makes them a seed (and beyond) investor. They need to also shift how they talk about themselves, and stop wasting people's time. Pre-seed = Pre-product ie: there is no product YET! No product = No Revenue There are many indicators to help an investor understand the potential traction of an idea, beyond the lazy measure of revenue. //rant off// #venture #startup #funding
