Your Initial Capital Structure:
Valuation
• Geography and investor group dependent
• Look for comparable businesses
• Ultimately a negotiation between investor
and business
• Expect 10% to 30% dilution per round
• Use convertible debt or preferred shares if
uncertain or to avoid significant dilution
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
Create a Solid Capital Raising Plan
• Determine your key milestones or inflection
points that will impact your value
• What is the minimum amount you need to
get to each point
• What non-dilutive sources of capital are
available to you at each stage?
• Identify what you want to offer investors
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
Create a Solid Capital Raising Plan
• Make a list of contacts that can help
• Old school versus new school capital raises
• Identify potential investors or credible
market intermediaries
• Sample, track, learn, and improve what you
are doing to raise capital
• Keep all doors open
@AlixeCormick
#Vanfunding
Find Investors:

Program

need versus a want or nice to have

@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding

• Description of your company;
• Team;
• Problem or need (market opportunity);
• Solution (make sure your name is on this slide);
• Value proposition to investor;
• Any traction you have;
• Use of proceeds (may use a timeline or roadmap);
• Summary & contact information.
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
Deal Breakers
• Raising $ to replace debt; pay big salaries;
develop an idea not a business; or with no
clear purpose
• One man team
• No personal skin in the game
• Unrealistic valuations
• Serious character flaw(s)
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
NDAs – Non-Disclosure Agreements
• Exceptions but, seasoned Angel Investors
and VCs will not sign
• Business plan contains no proprietary
information
• If you really want an NDA:
• narrow coverage
• introduce at due diligence stage
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
Understanding the Investment
Process
• Long process
• Meet and greet first step
• All investment basics must be met
• Due diligence review
• Terms may be renegotiated
• Close in person
@AlixeCormick
#VanFunding
Last Minute Tips
• Securing a key investor early will make
raising capital significantly easier
• In person meeting = 5x more $ than an
email and 3x more $ than a phone call
• People only invest if they know you, know
the business, and like the investment
opportunity
