15 AN ACTIVE PRESENCE IN THE U.S. IS KEY IN ATTRACTING U.S. VC FUNDING SOME U.S. VENTURE CAPITALISTS HAVE KEY REQUIREMENTS IN INVESTING IN FOREIGN COMPANIES Be prepared to establish yourself in the U.S., at least with a subsidiary. U.S. investors expect you to ultimately be in compliance with local corporate and financial structures, to facilitate working together, stock offerings, and of course, the exit Randy Mitchell, Senior Strategist Private Equity & Venture Capital US Department of Commerce We only invest in serial entrepreneurs who have a clear plan to take their company from Europe to for example the US market. However, they can kick off in their local country and especially make sure that they have enough engineering talent locally since this is very scarce in the US. Dusan Stojanovic, Founder True Global Ventures It's essential to provide the financial transparency that comes with being part of the U.S. system. If you are serious about growing on the U.S. market you need to know your customer, and for that you also need to be here. Brian Cohen, Chairman New York Angels Be serious about the U.S. from the beginning. We don't entertain amateurs. Some foreign companies think once they get an investment, they don t have to do any work anymore. That should never be the case. Michael Goguen, Managing Partner and Venture Capitalist Sequoia Capital OVERALL PROFESSIONALISM AND STRONG COMMITMENT TO THE U.S. MARKET ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR U.S. VCS SOURCE: BUSINESS SWEDEN INTERVIEWS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

16 TO RECEIVE VC THE COMPANY NEEDS TRACTION IN THE MARKET AND A STRONG INDUSTRY NETWORK 4 STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL VC PARTNERSHIP WHAT LOCAL EXPERTS SAY ABOUT U.S. VC 1 2 Prepare: Prove your business Initial contact: Get introduced 3 The first meeting: Be prepared, and listen 4 Long term relationship: Nurture with care Traction in the market place Proven track record as an entrepreneur Network, network, network Local incubators Solid sales pitch Listen well and be prepared to answer many questions Decide on what do you want out of your VC besides funding Depending on which stage a company is in, I would recommend them to start with investments from private investors and angels, and from there go to local incubators to meet and interact with the right people. When you have a strong local network who can introduce you to the right VC, the upside is that it goes so much faster to grow a company Marcus Anzengruber, CEO Campanja Since it s a very local business it would be highly unusual for us to invest in a foreign company, unless they have a local subsidiary John Backus, Founder New Atlantic Ventures APPROACH TARGETED VC S, BE WELL PREPARED AND KNOW WHAT TYPE OF VC YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOURCE: STC INTERVIEWS, STC ANALYSIS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

17 YOU NEED TO HAVE A SOLID CASE BEFORE APPROACHING A VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM TRACTION IN THE MARKET OR A PROVEN TRACK RECORD AS AN ENTREPRENEUR ARE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES 1 Prepare: Prove your business Traction in the market place Proven track record as an entrepreneur 98% of all companies are not suitable for VC funding. The VC has the exit in mind from the start, and therefore the company should be very scalable and have a fast growth 2 Initial contact: Get introduced 3 The first meeting: Be prepared, and listen 4 Long term relationship: Nurture with care The best way to loose any chance of funding is to blast away s to a bunch of investors and not doing your research properly. The most basic qualities to receive VC is to either have a traction in the market place or a solid track record as an entrepreneur John Backus, Founder New Atlantic Ventures Magnus Aronsson, CEO ESBRI Start with family and friends, and then with private investors and angels, before approaching VC s Fredrik Carlström, CEO C&CO To receive U.S. funding you have to demonstrate full commitment by taking personal risks, working full-time and a willingness to move to the U.S. Andrew Farquharson, Managing Director InCube Ventures APPROACHING VC S TOO EARLY ENTAILS THE RISK OF BEING TURNED DOWN OR TO GIVE TOO MUCH STAKE SOURCE: STC INTERVIEWS, STC ANALYSIS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

18 THE INITIAL CONTACT VIA AN INTRODUCTION IS A WAY OF SHOWING THAT OTHERS SEE YOU AS INTERESTING NETWORKING IS THE KEY TO GET INTRODUCED AND MEET VC FIRMS 1 Prepare: Prove your business If you don t have a U.S. network yet there are several ways to start; through organizations, clubs, events or incubators. Examples to look into include: Y Combinator Demo day, NYC SeedStart Enterprise Demo day, and Churchill Club 2 Initial contact: Get introduced 3 The first meeting: Be prepared, and listen 4 Long term relationship: Nurture with care Network, network, network Local incubators I think having a strong relationship is key. Investments in foreign companies don't happen overnight. We lay the ground work over months beforehand. Find out a way to get to know us Austin Westerling, Partner Charles River Ventures Most of our pipeline come from recommendations through angel investors, law firms, headhunters or PR firms that we know. Proposals via s will get a 10 second glance. John Backus, Founder New Atlantic Ventures Networking is the key to getting introduced. If you don t have a network in the U.S. yet, local incubators and universities could provide opportunities Fredrik Carlström, CEO C&CO VC IS A LOCAL BUSINESS THE EASIEST WAY OF BUILDING A NETWORK IS BY BEING PRESENT SOURCE: STC INTERVIEWS, STC ANALYSIS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

19 THERE SHOULD BE A MUTUAL BENEFIT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE VC S INVESTMENT STRATEGY SOLID STORY TELLING IS THE KEY IN GETTING THE VC S INTERESTED 1 Prepare: Prove your business 2 Initial contact: Get introduced 3 The first meeting: Be prepared, and listen 4 Long term relationship: Nurture with care A common mistake is to come to the first meeting and try to sell the technology at first hand. They should focus whole-heartedly in selling the investment opportunity instead, since that s what I, as an investor, am interested about Andrew Farquharson, Managing Director InCube Ventures Solid sales pitch Listen well and be prepared to answer many questions The first meeting is usually 1h where the PPT should be not more than slides, and they should expect to answer questions half of the time. My recommendation is to prepare well and listen carefully so you can answer all the questions we have as solid as possible John Backus, Founder New Atlantic Ventures Pitches need to have some vision. I don't like hearing about pitches that are only revenue focused. If you want to solve a problem and do your part to change the world, show me how you can do it. Michael Goguen, Managing Partner and Venture Capitalist Sequoia Capital BE WELL PREPARED FOR THE FIRST MEETING, KEEP TO SLIDES AND DO NOT FORGET TO LISTEN SOURCE: STC INTERVIEWS, STC ANALYSIS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

20 THE PITCH DECK SHOULD AWAKE THE INTEREST OF THE INVESTORS BY BEING SHORT AND TO THE POINT Cover page Intro Team Problem - Company logo, business name and tagline - Tagline should give insight into your company and be easy to remember - Get your audience interested - E.g. company s mission statement, important mile stones, customer testimonials etc. - Introduce key members/advisors - Highlight any of your team's successful exits, and signs that you can and like to work together - Describe the problem your concept is going to solve - Explain why investors should care about solving it with your company 8 Capital & valuation 7 Competition 6 Sales strategy 5 Solution - Current valuation and investors - List how much you're looking to raise and how you intend to use the funds SOURCE: SOURCE: MASHABLE, VENTUREHACKS - List your competition and explain what makes your product unique - If your competitors have been acquired, list the prices and who acquired them - Market size, growth, and future revenue - Be prepared to answer questions e.g. cost of acquiring customers - If you have a demo of your product, this is the time to show it - Make it entertaining and memorable BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,

21 AN AVERAGE VC RELATION IS LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE MARRIAGE NURTURE IT WITH CARE IT S IMPORTANT TO NEGOTIATE AND BE UPFRONT ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY 1 Prepare: Prove your business 2 Initial contact: Get introduced 3 The first meeting: Be prepared, and listen 4 Long term relationship: Nurture with care The relationship between a VC and a company usually lasts longer than an average American marriage. You need to find the right firm to partner up with John Backus, Founder New Atlantic Ventures Decide on what do you want out of your VC besides funding There are various ownership set-ups depending on each case, that you have to be prepared to discuss and negotiate. The important aspect is to be very clear and upfront in what you want and expect out of your VC relationship Nicolai Wadström, CEO BootstrapLabs If you have the opportunity to choose between several VC firms, you should be extremely picky on who you want to team up with, since the VC s will want to sit in the board and make decisions that will have a lasting impact on your company Magnus Aronsson, CEO ESBRI TO PARTNER UP WITH THE RIGHT VC YOU HAVE TO BE PICKY AND CLEAR ON THE EXPECTATIONS SOURCE: STC INTERVIEWS, STC ANALYSIS BUSINESS SWEDEN 13 JANUARY,
