1. THE‘EQUITY GAP’, WE HAVE IT COVERED.

2. INDEX
• Why?
• How?
• What?

3. SYMBID
WHY?
does Symbid do what it does?

4. WHY?
A BILLION € GAP EACH YEAR
An unmet demand for equity financing in The Netherlands alone
€200mio - €1 billion
(Per year, capital range from €50k - €350k)
Increase for demand of equity expected due to:
- Costs of debt too high
- Enhanced solvability in order to be able to attract loan (Basel III)

5. WHY?
REASONS FOR EQUITY GAP
Lack of cost effective, standardized and legally sound distribution method for
equity transfer to (large groups) of investors
- Large administrative burden per deal
- Limited and in-efficient match making services
- Many unstandardized methods in use (excel sheet valuations?)
- Very few ‘capital’ players in the market

6. WHY?
HOW ABOUT ANGELS AND VC’S?
type Total / year*
Angels €15 Mio
VC’s €10 Mio
Unregistered investments estimate € 20 Mio
Total € 44 Mio
* Research numbers in the range €50k – €350k
Current players would have to increase their spending in this
domain with more than 10 times than they do already!!

7. WHY?
RESULT OF THIS EQUITY GAP
- No bridge towards follow-up money for growth
- More and more limited access to banking finance due to a lack of
solvability in the company
In general:
A frustrated financing cycle for entrepreneurs!
FRIENDS & INFORMAL VENTURE PRIVATE

8. SYMBID
HOW?

9. HOW?
SO WHERE SH(C)OULD THE MONEY COME FROM?
The Dutch market for online private investors
1. 1 Mio investing households (stock market)
2. Total current portfolio size of €102 Billion
Additionally ‘the Dutch’ have €350 billion of savings
€200 Mio is the equity gap
-> less than 0,2% of current portfolio of private investors
(less than 0,05% including savings)

10. HOW?
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE INVESTORS
So when we compare informals (currently investing in our target market) with online
private investors…this is the result MISMATCH!

15. HOW?
CONCLUSION

class for private investors.
By offering an investing environment with
the characteristics of investing in the stock
market but for early stage company stock.
Potentially creating a new freeway for €102
Billion to fill the equity gap.

investor incentive
