36 So How Do We Do This? Don t not have a plan Advisors Gray hair and scar tissue Can become investors Equity positions Work for piece of action Keep it simple Realize an Investor may want to put his/her people in especially CEO or CFO 36
37 Board of Directors & Advisors Fill roles temporarily Accepted by Investors Consulting roles Legal, Marketing (not Sales), Manufacturing, Technical, etc. Use Star Power of BOD/advisors Access to investors May be investors themselves Don t forget the Investor 37

40 Equity Funding Arithmetic You and your team have invented the best thing since beer in cans You need $500K to build a prototype, hire sales people, rent facility, etc. Some investors have expressed an interest in your venture 40
41 Today You figure your company is worth $1,200,000 based on IP, assets, etc. So... 1,200,000 You 500,000 Investor 1,700,000 Total 70.5% 29.5% 41
42 Now your company is worth $2,500,000 So... In Six Months (prototype finished) 1,762,500 You 737,500 Investor 2,500,000 Total 70.5% 29.5% 42
43 Now your company is worth $4,000,000 So... In Two Years (sales people, revenue) 2,820,000 You 1,180,000 Investor 4,000,000 Total 70.5% 29.5% 43
44 Alternate Arithmetic You need $500K to build a prototype, hire sales people, rent facility, etc Some investors have expressed an interest in your venture Divide funding into rounds $200K for prototype $150K for sales people $150 for facilities, etc. 44
45 Today You figure your company is worth $1,200,000 based on IP, assets, etc. So... 1,200,000 You 200,000 Investor(1) 1,400,000 Total 85.7% 14.3% 45
46 Now your company is worth $2,350,000 So... In Six Months (prototype finished) 2,013,950 You 336,050 Investor(1) 2,350,000 Subtotal 150,000 Investor(2) 2,500,000 Total 85.7% 14.3% 80.6% 13.4% 6.0% 46
47 Now your company is worth $3,850,000 So... In Two Years (sales people, revenue) 3,101,483 You 748,517 Investor(1&2) 3,850,000 Subtotal 150,000 Investor(3) 4,000,000 Total 80.6% 19.4% 77.5% 18.7% 3.8% 47
48 So What? $500K up front Your share % Your value - $2.8M $500K (200/150/150) Your share % Your value - $3.1M Timing is important 48
49
50 Do you want to be rich? or Do you want to be King? 50
51 So where s the money? Venture Capitalists - Probably too early Angel Networks - South Texas Angel Network & others Government Initiatives - SBIR/STTR - Texas Emerging Technology Fund - Texas Ignition Fund 51
52 The Take Away Clever technology or a good idea is not enough. There must be a strong management team around the technology. Know the market and competitive landscape. The objective is to sell the company. 52
