#3 – Decode the Business Angels
• Angels invests own money
• Small amounts, early, at low valuation– €10k-€250k at valuation €0.5-€2m
• Exit:– sell at €5-10m valuation & make 1.5-3x
– bring VCs, get diluted (may) make 5-10x
• AIM: 2x capital (but mostly get capital back)
Angels are like women: temperamental & (mostly)
irreplaceable

#4 – Decode the Venture Capital business
• VCs raise a fund every 2-4 years– Invest other people’s
money
• Invest the funds over 5 years• Exit (sell) via M&A or IPO• They take:
– 2.5% pa management fee on funds managed
– Carry = 20% x [Total Return at Exit] – [Total Amount Invested]
• AIM: ONE 10x home run
VCs run a business. They make it sound like
Black Magic.
IT IS NOT.

Fight the information asymmetry

“what they offer” vs. “what you need”
– Initial capital per idea– Sector focus: do they
understand it? – Risk tolerance: can they
deal with uncertainty?– Compatibility: will their
pride suffer if you fail?– Terms (& strings attached)

US VC is big &… … some say already in a “bubble”
