Example: Company is worth €1 million pre and raises €500K.
• How much is post-money valuation?
• What % do investors own?
€1m + € 500K = €1,5 million
€ 500K /€1,5million = 33.3%

#2 Liquidation preferences
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Specify who gets paid first in event of liquidation (like sale of company)
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
2 important things. The actual preference and participation
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Preference: A certain multiple of the original investment is returned to the investor before the common stock receives any payment.
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Example: • Investor has invested 1M for 30% with a
liquidation preference 3X. • Company is sold for 4M.
Without preference he would get 30%*4M = 1,2M
With 3X preference he gets 3X1M = 3M
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Participation: three varieties of participation:
• full participation • capped participation • non-participating
[more investor-friendly]
[more entrepreneur- friendly]

#3 Managers’ Stock Vesting
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Vesting means that instead of founders getting their % immediately, they get it regularly over some period
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
If founders have 50% of company with a 4 year vesting, this means that after 1st year they have 50%/4 = 12,5%, after 2nd year 25% etc…
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
#4 Protective provisions
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
Protective provisions grant the investors the right to veto or block certain corporate actions. Examples: strategy, sale of company, change of CEO
#SetTheDealAth
Setting the Deal
The rationale for these provisions is to protect the investors (minority shareholders) from the majority stockholders.
