MONEY MOVES BY LAW

1st Law 1) The Need 2) Your Ability (much gathers more…) 3) Your Replace-ability (Investor Opportunity Cost and Comfort Zone)

LAW OF COMPENSATION

Source: Social Good Summit 2016

2nd Law 1) The Fund Size 2) The % Owned At Exit 3) Are you BIG enough to be their 1 deal that matters? Tip: Go as long as you can without raising $!!!!

Key Fact: Power Law states that 1 company in every VC portfolio will return the whole fund in profit (i.e. If the fund size is 200 million then their stake in your deal must be worth $200m in profit in potential for them to invest!) The BEST investment will return more than all other investments combined!!!!!
