John Thompson, CEO of NewVenture, Inc., seeks to raise $5
million in equity for his early
stage venture in January 2016. NewVenture is a subscription-based
software company that has
experienced 75% revenue growth over the last year. The company
generated $2.5 million of
revenue in 2015, with an operating loss of ($450,000). Thompson
projects that NewVenture
will achieve $30 million in revenue by 2020. Samantha Jones of
Gorsuch Capital is considering
an investment in January 2016, offering pre-money valuation of
$14.75 million.
a. What is the post-money valuation of NewVenture?
b. What share of the company will Samantha Jones require?
c. The company has 1,000,000 shares outstanding before the
investment. How many new
shares should she purchase, and at what price per share?
Samantha Jones believes Thompson will have to grant generous stock
options in addition to
the salaries projected in his business plan. From experience, she
thinks management should
have the ability to own at least a 15% share of the company in the
form of options by the end
of year 5.
f. What share of the company should Samantha insist on getting
today if an option pool is
created after her investment? (in order to ensure that she will
still maintain the same
ownership level noted above)
