Have a great idea, but not sure how to get funding to turn it into a business? This presentation highlights the many ways to find funding and focuses on the pros & cons of using venture capital to launch.
Entrepreneurs need to put a value on their start-ups in order to raise money, and investors need to put a value on their investments to ensure an adequate return on investment. No negotiating item between entrepreneur and investor creates a wider gulf than this one. The two parties may agree on every other point but will have diametrically opposing views on what the start-up is worth and how much equity the investor should receive in exchange for his capital.
Valuation is challenging for a start-up. Since young businesses take time to become profitable, the trick of valuing start-ups is to focus on the future. If you want your start-up to be a masterpiece, you’ll need to use the right side of your brain as much as your left to determine value.
Is business valuation art or science? Is it possible to place a credible valuation on a Start-up? What is Pre-money valuation? What is Post-money valuation? How much your company worth? Are you really worth anything until you’re profitable? How to value your start-up for a VC? What are the Start-up valuation methods?

When it comes to startups, SVB has been around the block. Many times. They've helped countless founders and CEOs negotiate the ups and downs of startup financing.
Confused about the how to choose the right funding strategy? Don't be.

Venture Capital
Debt
Managing startup equity (Equity For Startups)Kesava Reddy
Among the more important decisions that an entrepreneur makes is that of raising capital. Many choices have to be made in this context: Debt versus Equity. Own funds versus Funding from outside investors and so on. These choices have long term implications for the entrepreneur as well as the start-up. Equity funding is essential for the growth of a startup. Apart from providing critical funding equity investors also often bring added value by way of connections and strategic advice.
At the same time raising equity capital means sharing control and sharing wealth with the investors in the firm. Allowing investors to engage with the management of the startup calls for a certain degree of compatibility between the investor and the management of the enterprise. Absence of such compatibility can lead to unhappy relationships between the investor and the management team.
All things considered, managing the equity of a start-up is among the most critical decisions that an entrepreneur needs to make. It involves many trade-offs on the entrepreneurial journey. Which makes Managing the Equity of A Start Up a challenge. What does dilution of equity mean? How does the arithmetic of dilution work? How does an entrepreneur decide on when to raise equity? And how much of equity to raise?
Angel investing is a great way to participate in the growing trend of entrepreneurship. Responsible investing is very important for the health of your portfolio and for your relationships with founders. Don't invest without understanding a few simple things. Equity investments are long term relationships. Investors must do their part to be good investment partners.

The $2 trillion federal coronavirus relief package signed recently, officially known as the CARES Act, includes the nearly $350 Paycheck Protection Program to help small businesses affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic. The new loan program is designed to help small businesses with their payroll and other business operating expenses. The Small Business Administration (SBA) will forgive the portion of the loan proceeds that are used to cover the first eight weeks of payroll costs, rent, utilities, and mortgage interest.
The SBA and the Department of Treasury have released the information that will guide the programs. To help entrepreneurs better understand how can they benefit from the program, we created the webinar in partnership with the SBA, Cambridge Trust and the law firm Nutter to answer questions including:
Who are eligible for a Paycheck Protection Program loan?
How do businesses apply? What information is needed?
How much money can a business receive through the loan program?
When will the loans be available?
What’s the interest rate?
What does the payment schedule look like?
How does the Affiliation Rules affect VC-backed startup’s eligibility?
Can the loan eventually be forgiven? What’s the eligibility for loan forgiveness?
What if the PPP Loan does not cover a business’s needs? What are the other options under the CARES Act?

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.

https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Remote sensing and monitoring are changing the mining industry for the better. These are providing innovative solutions to long-standing challenges. Those related to exploration, extraction, and overall environmental management by mining technology companies Odisha. These technologies make use of satellite imaging, aerial photography and sensors to collect data that might be inaccessible or from hazardous locations. With the use of this technology, mining operations are becoming increasingly efficient. Let us gain more insight into the key aspects associated with remote sensing and monitoring when it comes to mining.

17. Structure
of
an
Equity
Deal
• Company
and
Investors
agree
on
a
“pre-‐money
valua*on”
(PM)
which
leads
to
a
price
per
share
• Investors
put
in
$X
• Investors
then
own:
X
/
(X
+
PM)
of
the
company
Example:
PM
=
$1M
X
=
$0.5M
Investors
own
0.5/1.5
=
33%
Remember:
New
issuance
NOT
transfer

18. Understand
the
Funding
Path
• We’re
talking
about
1st
funding
here
• What
is
the
probable
complete
funding
picture?
– This
is
only
funding
– Another
small
round
then
probable
small
exit
– Big
money
needed
before
exit
• Each
funding
event
should
occur
at
an
“inflec5on
point”
– Hopefully
at
a
point
where
risk
is
removed
– Increased
PM
=
so-‐called
“up
round”
18
19. Understand
the
Funding
Path,
cont.
• What
if
things
aren’t
going
so
well?
– Flat
or
decreased
PM
=
so-‐called
“down
round”
• More
money
coming
in
without
increased
PM
means
everyone
gets
diluted,
but…
• Depending
on
anS-‐diluSon
provision
entrepreneur
may
carry
more
burden
than
the
investors
19
20. What
about
Conver*ble
Debt?
• Many
seed-‐stage
companies
use
an
instrument
called
Conver5ble
Debt.
Huh?
• Conver5ble
debt
is
not
tradi5onal
bank
debt
• Converts
exist
for
two
major
reasons
– Investors
and
Entrepreneurs
find
it
hard
to
agree
on
a
PM
valua5on
– Some5mes
quicker
and
cheaper
to
document
than
equity
deals
(but
not
really)
20
21. Conver*ble
Debt
provides
Op*onality
• ConverSble
Debt
=
unsecured
debt
obliga*on
of
the
Company
that
may
be
converted
into
equity
of
the
Company.
• Conversion
Trigger
=
Qualified
Financing
usually
at
some
minimum
amount
of
funds
(ex.
$500,000)
• If
Notes
stays
as
Debt
=
Get
back
principal
and
interest
ahead
of
other
equity
(behind
other
creditors
typically)
• If
Notes
Convert
=
Convert
amount
of
debt
and
interest
into
equity
at
the
valua*on
in
the
next
round
•
ater
applica*on
of
a
Discount
(oten
5
–
20%)
•
subject
to
a
maximum
valua*on
amount
(the
“Cap”)
21
22. Basic
Structure
of
Conver*ble
Debt
• Investor
loans
$
to
Company
an5cipa5ng
another
round
of
funding
• Investment
accrues
small
interest
• When
the
funding
occurs,
investment
+
interest
convert
to
equity,
usually
at
a
discount
(5-‐20%
typically)
Example:
• Investors
loan
$200K
to
Company
• 20%
discount
• As
of
conversion,
interest
of
$10k
has
accrued
• Next
Round
PM
=
$2m
• Conversion
Amount
=
1/(1
-‐
0.2)*
$210k
=
$262,500
At
Conversion,
Noteholders
receive
262.5K
/
(PM
+
262.5K
+
New
Money)
22
23. Conver*ble
Debt
–
Complica*ons!
• When
does
the
debt
convert?
• What
happens
if
PM
of
next
round
is
huge?
• Does
the
investor
have
any
say
in
things?
• What
if
there
is
an
equity
investment
that
doesn’t
trigger
conversion?
• What
happens
if
it
never
converts?
• What
happens
if
Company
gets
bought?
23
24. Conver*ble
Debt
–
Solu*ons?
• Caps
and
Floors
– May
defeat
purpose
with
signaling
• Default
conversion
price
and
security
at
maturity
• Quick
sale
preferences
(ex.
2x)
• Governance
provisions
• Careful
agenSon
to
conversion
condiSons
24
25. Conver*ble
Debt
–
Worse
than
Equity?
• MulSple
liquidaSon
preference
(circa
2008)
– Ex.
$500k
of
Notes
with
cap
at
$2m
PM
– Next
Round
at
$6m
PM
– Issue
Noteholders
3x
number
of
shares
– 3x
shares
equals
3x
liquidaSon
preference!!
• Without
a
floor,
effecSvely
Full
Ratchet
AnS-‐diluSon
• Preference
Overhang
– In
prior
example
Noteholders
bought
$262,500
of
preference
for
$200,000.
– All
other
Series
A
Holders
bought
1:1
preference
• Not
Just
a
Price
Adjustment
