5 Capital Raising Overview WHAT IS EQUITY INVESTING? WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE? WHAT S THIS LIKE IN MAINE?

35 Maine Angels an investment network Maine Angels members are accredited* private equity investors who invest in and mentor early stage companies We collaboratively identify & vet promising start-up companies with prospects high growth in Maine & New England Objective = profitable exit for both investors & entrepreneur. - NOT interested as Long-term silent partner! - We analyze fit for high return in 5-7 yrs, due to our value add/ invested funds - Expect high return as premium for high risk & illiquidity. * Defined by the SEC: > $200,000 income OR > $1,000,000 net assets
36 (Graphic by 37 Angels)
37 Maine Angels Portfolio Since 2004, >$19.5 M in 72 companies (5/1/17)
38 ACA New England (Angel Capital Assoc.) (24) Angel Groups Possible syndication partners Angel Investor Forum - East Hartford, CT Beacon Angels - Boston, MA Boston Harbor Angels - Boston, MA Boynton Angels - Worcester, MA Cherrystone Angel Group - Providence, RI Clean Energy Venture Group - Boston, MA ecoast Angels - Portsmouth, NH ECS Angels - Bar Harbor, ME Edible Ventures Group - Boston, MA Golden Seeds LLC - Boston, NYC, & San Fran HubAngels - Cambridge, MA Landmark Angels - Greenwich, CT *ACA Affiliate Member: Maine Venture Fund Launchpad Venture Group - Wellesley, MA Maine Angels - Portland, ME Mass Medical Angels - Brookline, MA North Country Angels - Burlington, VT Northeast Angels - Milford, NH Ocean State Angels - Providence, RI Pipeline Angels - Boston, MA River Valley Investors - Springfield, MA SideCar Angels - Wellesley, MA TiE Angels - Boston - Boston, MA UMass Lowell New Venture Fund - Lowell, MA Walnut Venture Associates - Wellesley Hills, MA
39 Unlike other angel groups, Maine Angels investment portfolio covers multiple sectors 13% 6% 6% biotechnology media/mobile medical devices 6% food & beverage 13% internet/it 6% consumer products electronics 8% 10% retail clean technology 8% education 8% software 8% 8% financial services
40 What investment opportunities do Angel investors look for? Management team capable of executing the plan Emerging market for the product Scalable business model with plans to meet growing markets Differentiated product or service Low capital expenditures Understand the user or customer Clear, actionable plan to reach milestones with the funds raised Achievable exit strategy at multiple times investment Attractive deal terms * Maine Angels: Preference for Maine / New England deals
41 When should a company seek investor funding? Product = more than idea stage Proprietary features distinguish it from potential competitors Some "proof of concept" revenue Clear, plausible exit strategy for 5-10x returns within 5-7 years Typical valuation at 1 st funding below $5 million Typically seeking 1 st round of $100,000-$2,000,000 Financial projections based on sound assumptions = profit & growth The company is domiciled in the United States.
42 Maine Angels process = online application
43 What companies are not a good fit? Biggest Obstacle: not being ready for outside investment. Not really knowing your business Not knowing how to articulate your business model Not wanting the close examination of due diligence Not wanting the requirement to at least provide regular progress reports or board observation rights. Type of business not really scalable or growth oriented: life style businesses, most one location retail, most small business endeavors most service providers
44 Maine s ecosystem
45 Value add of Angel investors - Mentoring - advisory committee - board member - specific industry expertise - important rolodex of contacts - awareness of or access to resources * offer good advice, focused expertise, industry knowledge and connections
