6 My Hometown paper Friday, October 17, 2014 VC funding approaches level from 2001, the year of the dotcom crash So far in 2014 VCs have invested $33B as compared to $30B in Y Combinator will move beyond Internet start ups in pure software to experimental, breakthrough technologies like nuclear energy and synthetic biology. Huh? Going head to head with UC s QB3, which is now renting lab benches for $800? QB3@953 --RENT ONE BENCH AT A TIME In 2006 we developed a model to lower the costs of launching a biotech startup: make expensive resources in small quantities. This way startups get exactly what they want when they want it. You can rent one bench at a time and expand when you need as you need it. GET ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

7 V C investments in 2014 Investments by industry Q2-13, Q1 and Q2-14 (PWC Money Tree Report 3) Software industry received the highest level of funding of all industries, rising 50% from Q1 to $6.1 B in Q2 14 Software industry counted the most deals in Q , a 7% increase from Q1 14 because largest deal was a software company $1.2 billion Expansion stage investment in a transportation software company is largest deal and single largest quarterly investment since the Money Tree Report began reporting on venture capital investing in Biotechnology industry was the second largest sector for dollars invested: $1.8 B in 122 deals/ Rose 69% in dollars and 7% in number of deals from prior quarter. 2 large later stage funding rounds totaled $320M Medical Devices and Equipment industry rose 8% in dollars and 12% in deals in Q2 to $649M in 73 deals..

Venture capitalists invested $2.7 billion into 270 Internet-specific companies in Q % higher and 20% larger in deals than Q1 ($2.3B in 225 deals) Internet-specific is a discrete classification assigned to a company with a business model fundamentally dependent on the Internet, regardless of the primary industry category..

12 2013 Keiretsu Angel Fundings in Northern California: 29 with $8.6m

13 Who are Typical Angels? The term "angel" originally comes from Broadway where it described wealthy individuals who provided money for theatrical productions Successful business people Invest their own money (net worth over $1m) Long term investors (usually 5-7 years) Enjoy advising/assisting entrepreneurs Seek a return commensurate with the risk Invest alone or in angel organizations Individual investment amount $25,000-$100,000

14 Angel investing is personal Angel investing is all about people and human relationships. Angel investing comes down to finding and backing people who have the right combination of qualities -experience, talent and character- and supporting them as much as you can. Angel investing is one arena where shared knowledge is important.

15 Common Challenges? Acting alone, most angels: Do not see a consistent flow of quality deals Have limited capability to conduct the breadth of due diligence needed to lower risk Post investment, lack the breadth of capabilities and network to fully assist their entrepreneurs Have limited capital for investing in follow-on rounds

16 And above all Investors want a CEO that they trust to perform They want a capable team, preferably with experience in the sector They want financials that make sense They want negotiable, realistic valuations They want an articulated Exit plan (when will the company be acquired? by whom? for how much?)

17 Myths about investing Myth-busting Entrepreneurship," by Dane Strangler, Kauffman Foundation Four commonly held beliefs: a. Small business plays the most important role in growing the economy= in fact the age of the firm is a more important variable than the size of the firm. New and young companies create most jobs and innovations, not necessarily small companies. (Think Hewlett and Packard, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Larry and Sergei, Steve and Steve). New and Young. Disrupters. b. Studies refute the popular stereotype that most entrepreneurs are 23-year-olds starting tech companies in their local coffee shop or their bedroom = "the 'peak age' for starting a company is in the mid to late 30s, early 40s. c. Efforts to recreate Silicon Valley in the hopes of creating a hotbed of high-tech startups don t work= "Silicon Valley is a very unique place that's never going to be replicated. Others need to stop trying to be a Silicon fill-in-the-blank, not just in the U.S., but anywhere around the world. (Trillions in research dollars to universities in CA, federal matching funds for early VCs, risk taking, etc.) d. "Most research shows that incubators are not effective at all for actually producing companies.

18 What I m seeing internationally Investors worldwide want access to what they call Silicon Valley deal flow (to Keiretsu Forum that means our vetted deal flow) Investors worldwide want to balance their portfolios with investments at home and abroad like investors in the US they don t want to miss the next big thing. No one knows what the next big thing will be. (Nobody at Stanford or in SV originally understood the platform for Google). VCs are moving into seed stage investing and Angel Groups are syndicating investments above $3M and starting funds to protect their investments with additional funds as companies grow.

19 More SF news -- the share economy SF Airbnb charged with violating city zoning laws because legal residents are away when Airbnb clients are there, and violating state tax laws. As YouTube did with TV and the blogosphere did to mainstream media, the share economy blows up the industrial model of companies and people consuming, and allows everyone to be both consumer and producer, along with the potential for cash that the latter provides. Shervin Pishevar, a VC at Menlo Ventures and investor in Getaround, TaskRabbit, Uber and other startups in this space, believes these services will have a major impact on the economics of cities. This is much bigger than any specific app, he says. This is a movement as important as when the web browser came out. FORBES estimates the revenue flowing through the share economy directly into people s wallets will surpass $3.5 billion this year, with growth exceeding 25%.

20 So what works for angel investors? If you invest early and make non-monetary contributions by mentoring or serving as a company Director, the returns from early stage investing can be very rewarding. If you participate in an intensive Due Diligence, you lower your risks.
