SEED (AND VENTURE) FINANCING
A PLAY IN THREE ACTS
MARCH 7, 2017
Will Perkins, Partner
Dinesh Melwani, Partner

CAST
Founder #1: Dinesh Melwani
Dinesh has spent many years in business development at a large technology company, TechCo. He and
Stef are contemplating leaving to launch a new tech start-up, SpeedyCharge. Dinesh has estimated that
SpeedyCharge needs between $750,000 to $1,000,000 to develop a beta version of the product and place
it with a local electric car club who have signed on to beta test it.
Founder #2: Stef Lefebvre
Stef, like Dinesh, has spent many years at TechCo, in engineering. He and Dinesh met about six months
ago and discovered a mutual interest in electric cars. Stef was working on an idea at night and on
weekends that addressed charging times for electric vehicles. Having spotted the growing interest in
electric cars, Dinesh and Stef started further work to develop a product that sits between the power source
(i.e., wall plug) and the car charging port that speeds charge times by 30%-50% (in early lab tests of a
crude prototype).
Seed Investor: Will Perkins
Will, a lawyer by training, now spends his time investing in early-stage growth companies, and together
with his group of old friends, coordinates their angel/seed investments.

SETTING
Previously...
Originally introduced by email through a mutual connection, Dinesh and Will had a
long teleconference where Dinesh talked Will through SpeedyCharge’s pitch deck
and its business model. Will expressed an interest in investing, subject to meeting
in person to discuss and negotiate agreeable terms.
Now at BeerHall...
Dinesh and Will are meeting in person for the first time at a local craft beer pub to
discuss and negotiate terms for Will’s seed investment.

TCN seed and venture financing-play in three acts - 3.7.17

  • 1. 1 SEED (AND VENTURE) FINANCING A PLAY IN THREE ACTS MARCH 7, 2017 Will Perkins, Partner Dinesh Melwani, Partner 2 CAST Founder #1: Dinesh Melwani Dinesh has spent many years in business development at a large technology company, TechCo. He and Stef are contemplating leaving to launch a new tech start-up, SpeedyCharge. Dinesh has estimated that SpeedyCharge needs between $750,000 to $1,000,000 to develop a beta version of the product and place it with a local electric car club who have signed on to beta test it. Founder #2: Stef Lefebvre Stef, like Dinesh, has spent many years at TechCo, in engineering. He and Dinesh met about six months ago and discovered a mutual interest in electric cars. Stef was working on an idea at night and on weekends that addressed charging times for electric vehicles. Having spotted the growing interest in electric cars, Dinesh and Stef started further work to develop a product that sits between the power source (i.e., wall plug) and the car charging port that speeds charge times by 30%-50% (in early lab tests of a crude prototype). Seed Investor: Will Perkins Will, a lawyer by training, now spends his time investing in early-stage growth companies, and together with his group of old friends, coordinates their angel/seed investments.
  • 2. 2 3 SETTING Previously... Originally introduced by email through a mutual connection, Dinesh and Will had a long teleconference where Dinesh talked Will through SpeedyCharge’s pitch deck and its business model. Will expressed an interest in investing, subject to meeting in person to discuss and negotiate agreeable terms. Now at BeerHall... Dinesh and Will are meeting in person for the first time at a local craft beer pub to discuss and negotiate terms for Will’s seed investment. 4 SPEEDYCHARGE
