An important aspect of investor acquisition is the valuation of the startup and thus the question of how many shares are appropriate for a corresponding investment. Cyril Prengel of Rödl & Partner provides insights and tips on valuation within the context of equity/investor financing. He also presents valuation-relevant provisions in participation agreements and explains their implications for the share value. Patrick Hümmer of Ventury Analytics uses typical market-specific practical examples to demonstrate the impact of different structures. The case studies are vividly presented with the help of cap table management and modeling software.
The workshop “Valuation of the startup by VC investors and common contract clauses including practical examples” is aimed at both founders and venture capitalists:
- Which evaluation methods are used?
- Which qualitative factors are important in my story?
- How do business angels and venture capitalists typically proceed?
- What scope for action does the startup have if valuation expectations differ significantly?
- Which valuation-relevant clauses are common in investment agreements?
- What impact do these contractual clauses have on the share value?
- Which contract clauses are more founder-friendly or investor-friendly?
