,Entrepreneurial Finance
Seed stage
In most cases, a company is not yet established, but the founders have identified an opportunity. The
seed stage varies according to the activity of the business and its characters. Founders will also need
funding to finance this period of time. This money can be used to pay salaries, investments in
tangible or intangible assets and other expenses.
Bootstrapping = founders’ own savings used for the first financing. Can be with help of 3F’s (family,
friends, fools)
3F is important: positive indication for other investors. 3F signals that they belief in the future of
the venture
Business angels are only interested in high-growing potential and healthy return long-term
Venture capitalists require much more information, deeper level of analysis and due diligence
Start-up stage
The company is already selling its products or services, or has some customers. It remains in the
start-up stage until it reaches break-even.
The customer acquisition costs (CAC) is a key metric. The value of a customer should be higher than
the cost of acquiring it.
Lifetime value (LTV) = the value of a customer to the business
If LTV > CAC, profitability is likely.
The most suitable source of financing will be business angels or venture capitalists.
Rule of thumb: <€1million required business angels
>€1million required venture capitalists
Growth stage
Starts once the company has reached break-even and becomes profitable. Additional financing can
be raised, but banks will be involved to meet credit control requirements.
Maturity stage
Once the growth of the market or the company stabilizes at normal rates. No more large
investments, but maintain current market share.

high-risk-high-return early-stage ventures
Corporate strategic partner builds credibility, get access to a corporate network that might be
useful, PR and branding benefits
Difference between asset-based loans and venture debt: the availability of assets in the venture
asset-based lending requires a security for the loan
venture debt is especially for venture capital backed ventures lacking assets
and a steady cash flow for more traditional financing
Trade credit = vendor loan without interest at the expense of foregoing a discount that would be
obtained when paying early. Spontaneous funding by allowing the entrepreneur to pay later for the
goods that he already obtained
Mezzanine capital = hybrid form of debt and equity funding used by ventures that have built an
established reputation and track record of positive cash flows.
