Subject: Entrepreneurship

Topic: Venture Capital

WHAT IS VENTURE CAPITAL?

  • Money provided by investors to start-up firms and small businesses with perceived long-term growth potential.
  • It is a very important source of funding for start-ups that do not have access to capital markets.
  • It typically entails high risk for the investor, but it has the potential for above-average returns. Most venture capital comes from a group of wealthy investors, investment banks and other financial institutions that pool such investments or partnerships.
  • This form of raising capital is popular among new companies or ventures which cannot raise funds by issuing debt.

SLIDE 2

  • In exchange for the high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing in smaller and less mature companies, they usually get significant control over company decisions, in addition to a significant portion of the company’s ownership.
  • It is a way in which public and private actors can construct an institution that systematically creates networks for the new firms and industries, so that they can progress.
  • This institution helps in identifying and combining pieces of companies, like finance, technical expertise, know-hows of marketing and business models.

THE NEED FOR VENTURE CAPITAL

  • Venture capitalists provide the capital of investment for entrepreneurs and help them facilitate the start of the business.
  • When there is an owner relation between the venture capital providers and receivers, their mutual interest for returns will increase the firms motivation to increase profits.
  • Venture capitalists have invested in similar firms and projects before and, therefore, have more knowledge and experience which helps them decide what works and what does not, and how it works.
  • Therefore, through venture capital involvement, a portfolio firm can initiate growth, identify problems, and find recipes to overcome them.

SLIDE 5 – STAGES OF VENTURE CAPITAL FINANCING

STAGES OF VENTURE CAPITAL FINANCING

  • Early stage financing:
  1. Finance provided to companies that have completed development stage and require further funds to initiate commercial manufacturing and sales
  2. Also known as seed- funding, the term seed suggests that this is an early investment, meant to support the business until it can generate cash of its own, or until it is ready for further investments.
  • Follow-on financing:
  1. A follow-on offering is an issuance of stock subsequent to the company’s initial public offering.
  2. A follow-on offering can be either of two types: dilutive and nondilutive. 3. The project must proved to be successful.

  2. The company must gained market share.
  • Replacement financing:

Stages of Venture capital financing (Contd.)

  • Turn-around financing:
  1. The process of moving from a period of losses or low profitability into a more profitable stage. 2. A turnaround may be triggered by a number of factors including a better use of assets or the development of new products and services.

Process of evaluation (Contd.)

  • Geographic location -International diversity should be with a local fund.
  • Industry sectors- Diversify portfolio in order to off set problematic or slow growth investment.

BRIDGE FINANCING

  • Bridge financing is designed to cover expenses associated with the IPO and is typically short-term in nature. Once the IPO is complete, the cash raised from the offering will immediately payoff the loan liability.
  • These funds are usually supplied by the investment bank underwriting the new issue. As payment, the company acquiring the bridge financing will give a number of shares to the underwriters, at a discount of the issue price that equally offsets the loan.
  • Bridging finance is a short-term loan that allows the borrower a period to time, before refinancing the loan. That is, it provides a „bridge‟ for the borrower.

TYPES OF BRIDGE FINANCING

  • Closed bridge:
  1. It refers to a bridging loan where there is a predefined and certain exit that the borrower has in place to repay the bridging loan, before the actual bridging loan is taken out by the borrower. 2. It is less risky for the lender and thus the interest rate charged are lower.
  • Open bridge:
  1. It refers to a bridging loan whether the borrower does not have a certain exit in place. In this the exit strategy is not certain.
  2. Open bridging is higher risk for the lender.

MANAGEMENT BUY -OUT

  • A management buyout (MBO) is a form of acquisition where a company’s existing managers acquire a large part or all of the company from either the parent company or from the private owners.
  • In most cases, the management will buy out all the outstanding shareholders and then take the company private because it feels it has the expertise to grow the business better if it controls the ownership. Quite often, management will team up with a venture capitalist to acquire the business because it’s a complicated process that requires significant capital.
