Raising money for a startup발음듣기

Let's say I'm hanging out with my buddies one night and we realize that there's a huge opportunity in selling socks online.발음듣기

And so we decide to start a company.발음듣기

So the first thing we would do is we would write a business plan.발음듣기

And say, you know what? In this business plan writing process, this is all we've all contributed to it individually.발음듣기

So we'll all be equal shareholders.발음듣기

Let's say there's five of us friends.발음듣기

So the first thing we want to do is we want to start a - well you know, you could do in different orders, you could just write up a business plan, or you can start the corporation.발음듣기

But we'll just assume we start a corporation.발음듣기

And I'm going to indicate the corporation by creating a balance sheet right from the get-go.발음듣기

So, what are the assets of the corporation, and what are the debt - and what are the liabilities - and we could talk a little bit about what a corporation even is.발음듣기

So it's asset to begin with.발음듣기

It's essentially just an idea. I mean, you could say it takes physical form to some degree in the business plan, but it's just an idea first.발음듣기

And then, there are no immediate liabilities, it doesn't owe anybody any money.발음듣기

And we learned in the balance sheet videos - and you might want to watch the balance sheet videos as a prerequisite to this one - but in general, assets are equal to liabilities plus equity.발음듣기

So this is assets. The only asset we have right now is our idea.발음듣기

Maybe you want to add the potential talent that we have, maybe unique skills.발음듣기

They are very intangible at this point.발음듣기

These are the assets that our five buddies have together.발음듣기

And we have no liabilities. It doesn't sound like we borrowed money or anything.발음듣기

So everything we have - so the assets are equal to our equity - and I'll do that in a brown color - so there's no liabilities and we just have equity.발음듣기

And equity is essentially what the owners of the company have the rights to.발음듣기

For example, if - I haven't assigned any numbers here and I did that for a reason - but if the assets were $10 million and liability was $5 million, if we had owed $5 million to someone else, then you would have $5 million left for the equity.발음듣기

And that's what the owners of the company would have.발음듣기

Me and my five buddies, or I guess my four buddies, we decide we're the owners of the company, so we'll be equal shareholders.발음듣기

So we would split the equity between us five ways.발음듣기

So we just pick an arbitrary number.발음듣기

Let's say to begin with we have a million shares, so each of us have 200,000 shares in the company.발음듣기

And that's a bit of an arbitrary notion.발음듣기

And you normally do assign some value to those shares initially, it's some pennies per share, but I won't get into the technicalities of that.발음듣기

Just fair enough to say that we each have 200,000 shares in this company.발음듣기

And some of them go to me and then the rest of them go to buddy one, buddy two, buddy three, and buddy four.발음듣기

This is the equity right here.발음듣기

And there's a total of one million shares outstanding.발음듣기

Good enough. Well, just an idea and some paper and some well intentioned individuals alone isn't enough to start a company.발음듣기

We're going to have to create some type of an online presence, and do some programming, and maybe have a warehouse, and do some marketing.발음듣기

So we're going to have to - and really we're going to have to quit our jobs so that we can work on this full time.발음듣기

So we're going to have to raise some money.발음듣기

Money to hire some engineers, so that we can quit our jobs.발음듣기

To hire some marketing people, et cetera, et cetera.발음듣기

So where do we get our money from?발음듣기

So this is where the whole venture capital world comes into the picture.발음듣기

You've heard the word before. I think you have some sense of what it is.발음듣기

And the venture capital world, it's kind of separated into different people who invest in different stages.발음듣기

So you'll have people, they're called angel investors.발음듣기

And sometimes these people won't even call themselves venture - angel investors.발음듣기

And these are the guys that are kind of these, I don't want to stereotype it, but they'll be kind of like the old guys who made it big in the `80s and now they're sitting on billions of dollars.발음듣기

And they want to participate in the neat, fun ideas that young guys like me and my friends think of.발음듣기

And so they're kind of like your rich uncle who says, oh that's a great idea, I'll throw some money behind that.발음듣기

They usually invest at a very early stage.발음듣기

So those are probably the people we would go to initially.발음듣기

And then we'll talk to the people after that, the other types of venture capitalists.발음듣기

But in general, venture capital can meet a lot of things.발음듣기

But it means someone who's going to give you money.발음듣기

They're going to take a stake in your company and hope that your - they give you enough money to kind of get your venture going.발음듣기

To kind of start your business.발음듣기

So let's say we go to an angel investor, and we say hey, angel investor, don't you think this is a great idea?발음듣기

We're going to sell socks online.발음듣기

You know, socks are something people run out of every week, we can even do subscriptions for socks.발음듣기

You get 10 pairs of month, et cetera, et cetera.발음듣기

You can give them as gifts.발음듣기

All of these lovely things. And the first nine guys slam their doors on our face.발음듣기

They think our business is stupid.발음듣기

But the tenth guy says, hey you know, that's interesting.발음듣기

So we enter into negotiations. And he's like, you know what?발음듣기

I'm going to invest. But we have to figure out what I'm going to get in exchange for investing in your company.발음듣기

How much of your company I'm going to get.발음듣기

And so this leads to a process of valuation.발음듣기

So let's say we say need $5 million from the angel investor to get started.발음듣기

We need $5 million - let me write that down - that's what we say we need.발음듣기

And that's what the angel investor says that he's willing to give us, because he agrees.발음듣기

$5 million, that's enough for us to quit our jobs, and then we could all take salaries for some time.발음듣기

We could hire a bunch of people.발음듣기

We can rent office spaces. Do everything you need to do to start a company.발음듣기

And $5 million will support that for, I don't know, a year or two.발음듣기

I don't know, depending on how many expenses we have.발음듣기

But the question is, what does he get for that $5 million.발음듣기

So in order to come to that conclusion, you have to determine what is what we had before he came to the picture worth, right?발음듣기

Notice, when I did this balance sheet I didn't even write what these assets are worth.발음듣기

What is this worth? And this value, this is called a - well in general, whenever you're valuing anything, it's called a valuation.발음듣기

And since we want to know what this is worth - this is before we got any kind of money from investors - this would be called a pre-money valuation.발음듣기

And I'll show you why that matters in a second.발음듣기

Because, if us and this angel investor agree that this - our assets before we go to them - are worth $5 million.발음듣기

So if we agree that they're worth $5 million - let me draw that so, what color was I doing that in?발음듣기

It was in yellow - so if we agree - let me draw it a little bit smaller - essentially it's just an idea, and then we have the shares, a million shares.발음듣기

Of that million, I have 200,000.발음듣기

The other 800,000 are with my friends.발음듣기

These are one million shares total, or shares outstanding.발음듣기

So if this idea - we agree with the angel investor - if we agree this is worth $5 million.발음듣기

So everything we have today is worth $5 million.발음듣기

Then when he gives us another $5 million, that's an asset, right?발음듣기

We'll have $5 million in cash.발음듣기

So he'll give us another $5 million.발음듣기

He'll essentially get 50% of the company.발음듣기

He'll get all of these shares up here.발음듣기

Now how does that work out?발음듣기

Well if you think about it, this is the post-money company, right?발음듣기

So let's think about it a couple ways.발음듣기

This is $5 million. That's the idea.발음듣기

What is the $5 million worth?발음듣기

That's not a trick question. That's worth $5 million, right?발음듣기

It's worth $5 million. So what is the post-money valuation?발음듣기

When we talk about valuation we're talking about the value of the assets, especially because we're not dealing with any debt right now.발음듣기

Everything on the right-hand side is equity, so this is all equity.발음듣기

Let me write that, no liabilities yet.발음듣기

And in general, when you're doing a startup company, if I want to start socksonline.com, and I go into my local bank and say, hey give me a loan, they're just going to turn me away.발음듣기

Because if you have a venture that really doesn't exist yet and has no cash flow, they know that you're not going to pay the interest on the debt, so you're not going to even be able to raise debt until you are a more mature company.발음듣기

Or until you - maybe you could post some collateral.발음듣기

And I'll talk more about that.발음듣기

Maybe you could say hey, I'll use my house.발음듣기

If I don't pay the debt, you can take my house, or something like that.발음듣기

But for the most part we don't want to do that.발음듣기

So the only way to raise money at this early stage is by issuing equity.발음듣기

So going back to what we were talking about, what is the post-money valuation?발음듣기

We said before any of this stuff on the top existed, the pre-money valuation of just our idea was $5 million.발음듣기

Now, the angel investor, if we value this at $5 million, he'll give us $5 million more.발음듣기

What is the total value of all of the assets now?발음듣기

Well if we said this was $5 million, that's just something we agreed with.발음듣기

This is worth $5 million. So the combined assets, if you believe that this is worth $5 million, is now $10 million, right?발음듣기

And this would be the post-money valuation.발음듣기

And if you think about it, if you think about the company in this form right now, we - me and my buddies - we've contributed half of the value of the company.발음듣기

And this rich guy, he's contributed the other half of the company.발음듣기

So it makes sense that he has 50% of the company.발음듣기

So how is that going to work?발음듣기

Well, I don't give away any of my shares, and neither are any of my friends.발음듣기

They're all going to keep their shares.발음듣기

So we had five chunks of $200,000 that went - 200,000 shares that went to each of us.발음듣기

All right, that was buddy one, two, three, four.발음듣기

So what we'll do is, we'll actually issue another million shares and give it to this rich dude.발음듣기

So this is another one million shares.발음듣기

So as the company board, you can actually authorize to create shares.발음듣기

And that's what we did, and we essentially sold those shares for $5 million.발음듣기

So now instead of having one million shares, you have two million shares.발음듣기

So something interesting here, and some people often talk about the notion of dilution, right?발음듣기

Because before, I had 200,000 out of a million shares.발음듣기

So before, I had 20% of the company.발음듣기

And now what do I have?발음듣기

Well we've essentially doubled the share count, so now I only have 10% of the company.발음듣기

So some people say, oh you know what, my share of the company got diluted.발음듣기

But it really isn't the case, because the company has gotten all this cash.발음듣기

I now own 10% of something that's twice as valuable, as opposed to 20% of something that's half as valuable.발음듣기

If you really believe that, then this was no change, right?발음듣기

I now own 10% of ten million, which in theory should be worth a million dollars.발음듣기

Before I owned 20% of five million, which was also worth a million dollars.발음듣기

So if you believe these valuations, I probably - I'm neutral.발음듣기

And we're going to put this $5 million to work.발음듣기

And actually let me take a step - actually no, I just realized I'm out of time.발음듣기

Let me continue this in the next video.발음듣기
