Equity Venture Capital
Part 2
New ScenarioMulti Round VC Investment
• VCs can manage risk by investing in stages (rounds, series) as the firm meets business milestones
• In this investment scenario, all is the same except that the VC investments are made in three rounds and denoted as Series A, B, and Co After 0, 2, and 4 years at LeanTech
• The objective is to determine the fraction ownership before and after each round of investment so that after the third and last investment, the final ownership fractions and ROIs are achieved

Summary• Note that the VC’s ownership fraction is being diluted,
o But diluted down to the targeted ownership fraction at exit (IPO, M&A)
o And that the targeted ROI is achieved
• These are pro-forma financials o An updated expected exit value would change the
calculations for subsequent rounds
• VC investment shares are more typically issued as preferred convertible stocko Preferred shares are converted to common shares via a
conversion ratioo The financial calculations are the same if the conversion
ratio is 1:1
Summary• There may be contract terms that give investors the
opportunity to not be diluted • Note that in the two scenarios the founders retained 1M
shares and 29% and 59% of the equity respectivelyo The balance of risk between investors and founders was
scenario dependent• The founder’s raised capital, but in exchange they gave up
a fraction of their future earnings, dividends, and capital gainso This is a (rate) cost of capital to the founders – specifically an
opportunity cost

Homework 2
Your startup firms needs $3M in investment over the next 5 years to reach profitability and an exit point for the VCs.
The $3M is raised in multiple rounds at the start of years 1, 3, and 5. The capital raised in each round is 30%, 40%, and 30% of the $3M total.
Your firm is expected to initially sell in the market at 18x its expected EBIT of $3.6M at the end of year 5
Use the targeted rates of return of 40%, 30%, and 20%.
Calculate and present all information of interest.
