4. WHY?
A BILLION โฌ GAP EACH YEAR
An unmet demand for equity financing in The Netherlands alone
โฌ200mio - โฌ1 billion
(Per year, capital range from โฌ50k - โฌ350k)
Increase for demand of equity expected due to:
- Costs of debt too high
- Enhanced solvability in order to be able to attract loan (Basel III)
5. WHY?
REASONS FOR EQUITY GAP
Lack of cost effective, standardized and legally sound distribution method for
equity transfer to (large groups) of investors
- Large administrative burden per deal
- Limited and in-efficient match making services
- Many unstandardized methods in use (excel sheet valuations?)
- Very few โcapitalโ players in the market
6. WHY?
HOW ABOUT ANGELS AND VCโS?
type Total / year*
Angels โฌ15 Mio
VCโs โฌ10 Mio
Unregistered investments estimate โฌ 20 Mio
Total โฌ 44 Mio
* Research numbers in the range โฌ50k โ โฌ350k
Current players would have to increase their spending in this
domain with more than 10 times than they do already!!
7. WHY?
RESULT OF THIS EQUITY GAP
- No bridge towards follow-up money for growth
- More and more limited access to banking finance due to a lack of
solvability in the company
In general:
A frustrated financing cycle for entrepreneurs!
FRIENDS & INFORMAL VENTURE PRIVATE
FAMILY EQUITY GAP INVESTORS CAPITALIST EQUITY
30K 150K 500K 2.5M
9. HOW?
SO WHERE SH(C)OULD THE MONEY COME FROM?
The Dutch market for online private investors
1. 1 Mio investing households (stock market)
2. Total current portfolio size of โฌ102 Billion
Additionally โthe Dutchโ have โฌ350 billion of savings
โฌ200 Mio is the equity gap
-> less than 0,2% of current portfolio of private investors
(less than 0,05% including savings)
10. HOW?
