DISRUPTING VENTURE FINANCE
IN THE 21ST CENTURY
PRESENTATION BY MELINDA MOORE
EVERY INDUSTRY IS
GOING TO BE
DISRUPTED
FOOD
TRANSPORTATION
CALL
CENTERS
WHY FINANCE
IPO’S ARE DECLINING RISE IN CROWDFUNDING MOST ENTREPRENEURS &
INVESTORS ARE LEFT OUT
IPO DECLINE
• VC BACKED COMPANIES TAKING
LONGER TO IPO
• STRATEGIC PARTNER BUYOUTS
• MEGA-ROUNDS
• LOWER RETURNS
• CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES
THE EMERGENCE OF
CROWDFUNDING
• A POWERFUL VEHICLE THAT IS DRIVING A GLOBAL WAVE OF
INNOVATION
• A WIN FOR ENTREPRENEURS
• REWARDS-BASED
• EQUITY-BASED
THE INVESTOR CONVERSATION
HAS MOVED FROM BOARDROOMS
TO CROWDFUNDING PLATFORMS
LIKE KICKSTARTER
THE HISTORY OF
CROWDFUNDING
REWARDS CROWDFUNDING: $20M
EQUITY CROWDFUNDING: $17M
WHY IS CROWDFUNDING IMPORTANT
OVER $30 BILLION WAS RAISED
VIA CROWDFUNDING IN 2018
NEW PATH FOR
ENTREPRENEURS
PEOPLE DON’T BUY WHAT YOU
DO, THEY BUY WHY YOU DO IT
LET’S LOOK AT
VENTURE FINANCE
RECORD YEAR
FOR VENTURE
CAPITAL
• VENTURE CAPITAL
INVESTMENT HIT 100
BILLION IN 2018 IN THE
U.S.
• DRIVEN BY UNICORNS
WITH MEGA-ROUNDS
INCLUDING SLACK, LYFT
AND STRIPE
• CHINA VC VOLUME
SURPASSED THE U.S. FOR
THE FIRST TIME
BUT…IPO MARKET HITS
THE BRAKE ON MEGA-
ROUND COMPANIES
• LYFT STOCK LOST HALF ITS
VALUE ON THE FIRST DAY
OF TRADING
• BOTH COMPANIES SHOW
LARGE NET LOSSES AND
NO CLEAR ROAD TO
PROFITABILITY
• LOTS OF SHORT SALES
PROS OF VC FOR
ENTREPRENEURS
SMART MONEY + STRATEGIC
SUPPORT
RAISE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT
OF MONEY FOR GROWTH
GOOD EQUITY PARTNERS CAN
MAKE IT EASIER TO RAISE MORE
ATTRACTIVE DEBT LATER
CONS OF VC FOR
ENTREPRENEURS
PRESSURE TO GO BIG QUICKLY
IT'S POSSIBLE TO LOSE CONTROL
& BE REMOVED
LEFT WITH SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF COMPANY
THE DATA:
VENTURE
FAVORS
WHITE MEN
WHITE MEN REPRESENT MORE
THAN 90% OF VENTURE
CAPITALISTS SO THEY ARE PRONE
TO FUND MALE-LED COMPANIES
ONLY 2% OF VENTURE CAPITAL
WENT TO FEMALE FOUNDERS
LESS THAN 1% OF VENTURE
CAPITAL WENT TO MINORITIES
HOW TO GROW YOUR
BUSINESS WITHOUT
GIVING UP EQUITY
ASSEMBLED
BRANDS
PROVIDES WORKING CAPITAL
TO EMERGING CONSUMER
BRANDS
RAISED 100 MILLION TO DEPLOY
CREDIT BASED ON INVENTORY &
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
THE PROS OF DEBT FINANCING
THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF
USING DEBT VS EQUITY IS
CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP
ONCE THE DEBT IS PAID BACK,
THERE IS NO MORE LIABILITY
NO ONE TAKES A BOARD SEAT
OR PUSHES YOU FOR
EXTREME GROWTH
THE CONS OF
DEBT
FINANCING
IT REQUIRES PAYMENT BACK BASED
ON INTEREST
BORROWERS MUST UNDERSTAND THE
FINE PRINT OF THE FINANCING
TERMS; VARIABLE RATES CAN
DRAMATICALLY CHANGE OVER TIME
TAKING ON TOO MUCH DEBT CAN
NEGATIVELY IMPACT PROFITABILITY
AND VALUATION
KEY TAKEAWAYS
GREAT TIME
TO START A
COMPANY
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO START
A COMPANY BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE
FINACING OPTIONS
• CROWDFUNDING
• VENTURE CAPITAL
• WORKING CAPITAL OR DEBT
• HYBRID MODEL
• EACH METHOD HAS ITS OWN PROS AND CONS
HOW TO
DECIDE
• EXPLORE AND DISCOVER WHICH FINANCING
OPTION IS BEST FOR YOU AT YOUR STAGE IN
BUSINESS
• UNDERSTAND BOTH THE SHORT-TERM AND
LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS

Disrupting Venture Finance in The 21st Century

Editor's Notes

  1. 20 million Pre-sell products “This is the original form of crowdfunding where backers get a reward in return for their investment, or entrepreneurs are able to pre-sell their product in order to have money for production costs.   For example, an entrepreneur is able to launch a new electric bike or digital watch company by pre-selling the bike or watch as a perk. This is called rewards-based crowdfunding.  ” Excerpt From: Melinda Moore. “How To Raise Money: The Ultimate Guide to Crowdfunding.” iBooks.
  2. “Equity is the newer form of crowdfunding thanks to the JOBS Act passing, which allows companies to raise up to $1 million per year over the Internet via Title III, and up to $50 million via Regulation A+ or Title IV ” Excerpt From: Melinda Moore. “How To Raise Money: The Ultimate Guide to Crowdfunding.” iBooks. “As Simon Sinek famously said in his TED Talk: “People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” Excerpt From: Melinda Moore. “How To Raise Money: The Ultimate Guide to Crowdfunding.” iBooks.
