There are peaks and troughs in fund-raising journey of a startup business. Startups go through multiple rounds of financing to raise investment in order to cover business expenses based on escalation of company’s valuation.

HOW to Evaluate Business Growth?

Venture capital is a growing opportunity for funding startup businesses

After the business model has shown some traction, and when company is generating some revenue (though it might not be net profit), Series A funding is a critical stage in optimization of product and services and for the growth in customer base in the long run for the startup.

HOW much as a Founder YOU want to give UP?

The ultimate goal of series A round of financing is to cover up the expenses involved in carrying out additional market research and finalization of the product or service that the company is introducing in the market.

The company is still in the product development stage so the risk involved in the series A round of funding is the highest and Series A funding is commonly offered in the form of preferred stock and may have anti-dilution provisions in case more financing is given, in the form of common stock or preferred stock, in the future. Clause like Right of first refusal (ROFR or RFR) should be included which is a contractual right that gives its holder the option to enter a business transaction with the startup founder of something, according to specified terms, before the startup founder is entitled to enter into that transaction with a third party in subsequent funding rounds.

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, many startups are unable to impress investors to get Series-A funding because of multiple reasons like

• the venture failed to demonstrate their ability to grow;
• the team failed to build the skill-sets and competitiveness;
• lack of Intellectual property that can give the company an unfair advantage; &
• lack of market validation or a poor product or service.

Preparation is the key to everything. Prepare your elevator pitch. Startups should align their thoughts and conversations with the investors perspective for getting follow-up meetings after the initial interaction with the investors. The following MANTRA should be kept in the mind:

• To excel in the game of series A financing, a company should be well-versed with the investment criteria of an investor. Different investors have different criteria of investing in a venture. Understand the acumen of the investor rather than just pitching your business model. Some may give more weightage to market sentiments while some other may give more marks to the founding team members. 
• Have a sound knowledge of the investment scenario of different sectors. This will help you understand the investor’s view of your business sector and you will be in a better position to seek investment for your venture.

Evergreen SECTORS to look for Healthcare and Education

• There should be synergy in your venture and the portfolio companies of the investor. This will help the investor to understand the relevance of investment in your venture.
• Be clear on what you seek from the investor beyond the money and how they may add value to your venture. Investor should be good Mentor.
