33 Challenges Fundraising typically can represent 30% of CEO s time. Always takes longer and costs more. - Contingency plans!! Absolute focus on key milestones to be achieved to leverage new round of funding is critical. Recognising the motivation of different types of investors. Importance of equity involvement of key people.
34 Some common start up mistakes Value proposition is not clearly defined. Technically brilliant product but does it deliver VALUE to the customer? Inability to identify and qualify the customer. Our product has no competitors! Unbelievable numbers (revenue projections and costs). Unrealistic expectations on raising cash (time needed and valuations). It will take 3-6 months. Plan conservatively. Inability to manage cash high burn rate.
35 Some common start up mistakes (cont d) Inability to identify clear and achievable milestones. Unbalanced Management team dominant CEO with little commercial experience. Recruiting a good CEO costs money - and equity. Weak (non commercial) Board. Securing a hard-nosed, no nonsense, commercial Chairman is invaluable. Inability to plan for contingencies (they will happen!!). No exit strategy (an absolute must for VC funding).
