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?

The Evolution of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India: Challenges...beulahfernandes8
Role in Financial System

Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant. I and my friends has traded more than 6000pi coins successfully

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.
@Pi_vendor_247
What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.
Tele-gram.
@Pi_vendor_247
If you are looking for a pi coin investor. Then look no further because I have the right one he is a pi vendor (he buy and resell to whales in China). I met him on a crypto conference and ever since I and my friends have sold more than 10k pi coins to him And he bought all and still want more. I will drop his telegram handle below just send him a message.
@Pi_vendor_247
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

8. Investment Opportunity:
• Over the last decade, Israel has grown steadily, despite the 2008 economic crisis. Its growth has shown little correlation
with worldwide economic growth, which is good news for diversification purposes.

Sciences, Medical Devices, IT, Software, Agro-Technology, Pharmaceuticals, Communications, Electronics,
Semiconductors, Industrial Equipment, Homeland Security, Biopharma, among others.

tech startups, raked #2 in the world after Silicon Valley.
• There are currently ~6,000 startups in Israel. In 2013, 977 new startups were founded, while 300 startups close every
year. Also, the number of startups has been growing by 10% p.a. on average over the last decade. (source: IVC)
• In 2013, Israeli High-Tech Startups raised US$ 2.3 bn (vs. US$ 1.5 bn in 2004), of which US$ 1.7 bn came from VC
funds. In 2013, Exits totaled US$ 6.64bn, of which US$ 4.21bn were VC-backed Exits. In fact, since 2011, there has
been a dramatic improvement in investment results, measured by the exits to investment ratio. Over the last years, the
Average Exit has been growing. In 2013, it reached US$ 120.2mn for VC-backed Exits.

12. Main Value Investing Pillars:
1. Circle of Competence – We only buy stocks of companies whose business models and competitive
environments we understand and in which we feel comfortable to be invested.
2. Portfolio Concentration – Theoretically, the only way to have above-average returns, consistently
outperforming the benchmark, is by concentrating the portfolio. Statistically, a portfolio with 30 stocks is
well-diversified enough, deviating very little from the average or benchmark. On the other hand, a portfolio
with less than 5 stocks holds very strong idiosyncratic risk. Therefore, a concentration of 10 to 15 stocks
seems adequate. Empirically, the deviation from the benchmark may be favorable (overperformance) or
unfavorable (underperformance). That is why it is important to conduct an in-depth analysis of each
company in the stock picking process.
3. Price-Value Gap – At a certain point in time, a stock may not be correctly priced. But, in the medium/long
term, the stock price tends to converge to the company’s intrinsic value. Finding price-value gaps is not
always trivial and, often times, requires a “perception detachment” relative to other market participants, i.e., it
requires an unique perception about a company or investment case.
Dec 2014 12
Investment Philosophy
13. Main Value Investing Pillars:
4. Margin of safety – An investment should only be carried through if the price-value gap is sufficiently large
so as to offer a certain margin of safety to the investor, no matter how good a company may seem in
qualitative terms.
5. Emotional discipline – Buying stocks with a certain margin of safety helps reduce losses during periods in
which the price-value gap may increase. Having a well-grounded conviction and emotional discipline is
crucial for a successful investment.
Note: Mispriced stocks may take months until the price-value gap closes. Any investment carries an opportunity
cost. Therefore, the longer it takes for the gap to close, the least appealing the investment will be. So, often times, it
is intereting to hold stocks that have triggers that may accelerate the convergence process. Even though it is
important to monitor developments and potential triggers in all positions that we hold, we do not specifically seek
stocks that are subject to imminent triggers or events.

15. Marcopolo (Aug/11 to Aug/12)
• Long Term Growth Drivers: The goal is to double the company’s size in 5 years. Much of the growth will come
from international markets, especially India, where the company eventually plans to have the biggest bus production
site in the world. According to estimates, India is expected to reach, in 2019, a market size of 80,000 units/year (vs.
42,000 units/year in Brazil). Today, ~ 33% of revenues come from the company’s international markets, share that is
expected to rise to 50% in 5 years. Among all countries where Marcopolo operates, Brazil and India seem to offer the
greatest growth potential.
• Main Short/Mid Term Drivers - Brazil: (i) Renewal of interstate concessions, limiting average fleet age to 10 years
(vs. 14.7 years currently); (ii) Extension of Finame line coupled with mandatory use of buses with Euro 5 (cleaner)
engines; (iii) Investments in BRTs as a way to improve traffic and prepare cities for the World Cup and the Olympics;
(iv) Implementation of the JV with Caio for manufacturing parts (domestic) and buses (external market), as well as a
possible purchase, through this JV, of the assets of the bankrupt competitor BUSSCAR; and (v) Favorable FX rates
for exports.
• Competitive Structure - Brazil: Today, the competition among manufacturers is healthy, but it was not always this
way. From 2003 to 2006, Marcopolo’s market share dropped from 47% to 39%. In the same period, BUSSCAR went
from ~5% to ~15%, due to a price war that was in place. This strategy proved unsustainable and BUSSCAR went
bankrupt (again) in 2010. With this bankruptcy, Marcopolo’s market share jumped from 41.7% in 2009 to 46.3% in
2010.

buses/1,000 inhabitants (vs. 1.5 in Brazil). The government has the goal, through the National Highway Development
Programme (NHDP) Project, to develop roads linking the 4 main cities of the country, changing the transportation
matrix from rail (quite scrapped) to road – which will favor local bus manufacturers. Marcopolo went to India in 2006
through a JV with Tata (49% Marcopolo, 51% Tata). Therefore, Tata Marcopolo Motors is well positioned to capture
much of this potential growth. In 2009, the market share of the major manufacturers was: Tata (50%), Ashok Leyland
(33%), Swaraj Mazda (7%), Mahindra (5%), and Eicher (5%).
• Risks: Other than the risk of economic deceleration, rising input prices, and bottlenecks in workforce, the most
relevant matter for the investment case is the execution risk in the international expansion strategy. Unsuccessful
experiences in Portugal and Russia in the past have certainly contributed to the company learning process, especially
when it comes to corporate structure and business environment. Also, in 2011, when analyzing the performance of its
JV in India, Marcopolo decided to slow down the pace of growth there, privileging profitability over growth at all
costs. This attitude is comforting and helps ease the perception of execution risks in international expansions. It is
also worth mentioning that the company decided to access the Russian market once again, but this time only through a
commercial JV (where imported Chinese kits are assembled in Russia) and not via local production as before.

23. Decision Process:
• Oriented not only to the return that we can get, but also to the risk involved;
• Great concern with capital preservation.
Decision #1: Equity x Cash
Portfolio management and risk control start with the decision to allocate funds to equity or cash. During periods of
macroeconomic uncertainty and of few good investment opportunities, we tend to keep more cash (with a return close to the
country’s basic interest rate) and less equity (up to the minimum of ~70% of the portfolio).
Decision #2: Reduce, Increase or Zero an Equity Position
Our portfolio typically has ~15 stocks, with a very low asset turnover. The decision to reduce, increase or zero the investment
depends on the interaction of micro (intrinsic to the company) and market factors. “Stop loss” does not exist in the Value
Investing context. The decision to zero/reduce a position relies on factors such as:
(i) a change in the investment case – a close monitoring of the company allows us to identify whether there would be a
fundamental and specific reason to motivate the termination of the investment.
(ii) the absence of a short term catalyst, hindering the price-value convergence – every investment has an opportunity cost;
therefore, we may decide to reduce a position if there is no clear trigger for the stock.
(iii) the absence of margin of safety – when the price-value convergence is close to being complete, and there is no longer room
for updates in the DCF model that would justify a more positive pricing of the asset.

24. E.g.: Sell Direcional (DIRR3) + Buy AmBev (AMBV4)
• In Aug/2011, we witnessed an increase in risk aversion. The soveign debt of Euro Zone countries and the US became more
evident. The risk of an economic slowdown – not only in Europe and the US, but worldwide – brought panic to the markets.
• The speed in which the sell off happened in August was astonishing. The Ibovespa index fell -17.26% in a few days (up to Aug,
8th). In such occasions – where over-reaction takes place – many intereting buying opportunities are created.
• In this context, we made 2 decisions: we kept ~30% of the AUM in cash and we replaced DIRR3 and bought AMBV4 instead.
Direcional (DIRR3) was a real estate company and its stocks had low liquidity. Both companies were cheap at that point, but
AmBev (AMBV4) had the potential to benefit a lot more from “market corrections” in the near future due to its liquidity and
appeal. After all, it was rare to see such a good company trading at such a cheap price – a true bargain with a huge margin of
safety.

25. E.g.: Sell Direcional (DIRR3) + Buy AmBev (AMBV4)
• The graph below shows the # stocks and the stock price at each specific date. The dotted line indicates that the stock is no
longer in the portfolio, while the solid line indicates the stock is part of the portfolio.
• Note that DIRR3 fell further in Oct/11, but during 2012 the stock returned to levels that were close to the ones in the
beginning of Aug/11, ending Aug/12 at R$ 11.30.
• On the other hand, AMBEV4 went from R$ 44.60 in Aug/11 to R$76.27 at the end of Aug/12.

26. Characteristics:
• AUM: ~R$ 400K
• The track record should be taken with caution because:
• Fixed costs have a considerable impact on performance. In a given year, the fund starts with -6.65% due to fees.
• Strategies cannot be fully implemented. E.g.: 100 shares of a stock worth R$ 380,00 per share would mean a position of
R$38,000.00 , i.e., 9.5% of the portfolio. The buy and hold strategy may not be implemented if we conclude that 9.5%
would be too much to have of such a stock at a given time.
• Weighting/calibration of the portfolio may not be viable due to discontinuity in sizes. E.g.: 100 shares of a stock worth R$
100,00 per share would mean a position of R$10,000.00 , i.e., 2.5% of the portfolio. If we were to buy 100 more shares,
the position would automatically reach 5% of the portfolio, which may not be desirable.
• The fund is kept open for strategic reasons only – it is a vehicle which is fully operational and ready
for local seed money.
