A

Accelerator:A group, institution or program which offers guidance, networking, and infrastructure to companies in order to accelerate their growth. In return, the accelerator is given equity.

Accredited Investor::In certain markets and situations an investor must satisfy strict guidelines in order to be considered “accredited”. In the US, for example, an individual or group of investors must meet thresholds for net worth or income, as outlined in the 1940 Investment Company Act.

Acquisition:When a buying company purchases a controlling stake in a target business. When the board, shareholders, and managers of the target company approve of this deal, it is called a friendly acquisition. When one or more of these groups does not, it is called a hostile takeover.

Allotment:The process of providing new shares to shareholders. A shareholder's allotment is the number of shares they are to be given.

Analyst:Part of a venture capital firm. Usually asked to carry out preliminary analysis of businesses before a firm offers investment. This can involve projection analysis, early stress testing, market research, and other administrative duties.

Angel Investor: An investor primarily involved in early start-up investment. (Often a one- off investment made by family or friends to help a start-up founder get a project up and running, or a cash injection to help a business weather a difficult period.)

...

Anti-Dilution Protection: A clause in a contract which protects some investors from their equity or shares’ dilution when other investors buy stock in a company. This is often applied when shares in a company are sold at a value less than the amount paid originally by existing investors.

Articles of Association:A critical document which outlines the rights and restrictions attached to a company, as well as the said company's share classes and share structure. This includes information about shareholder voting and selling rights.

Assets Under Management:This includes all financial assets managed by a venture capital fund.

Associate:A member of a venture capital firm. A step up from analysts, associates carry out more in-depth research and carry out due diligence.

B

B2B Short for Business to Business. Simply refers to any company which does business with other businesses as their primary focus.

Bad Leaver: This happens when an employee or staff member leaves a company and violates agreed procedures. When this occurs, the “bad leaver” disqualifies themselves from share or equity payouts. In extreme circumstances, they are not allowed to hold onto their existing shares or receive money for them. An example of a bad leaver would be an employee fired for gross misconduct or someone who resigns before an agreed date of departure.

Board of DirectorsCustodians of a company. The board of directors (“board” for short) looks after a company's affairs and makes major decisions about its future. To have a seat on a board usually requires investment. For that reason, most boards are made up of investors or investor representatives.

Burn Rate: The amount of money a company is using over a specified time. For example, a monthly burn rate. Used by venture capitalists to gauge how sustainable a target company's expenditure is.

This 20% fee usually only happens if an investment performs beyond an agreed threshold.

Cash-on-Cash Return: How much an investment generates in relation to the original amount. For example, if an investor invests $10,000 in a business which is then later bought and they receive $100,000 in return – that is a cash-on-cash return of 1000%. Also known as Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC).

Compliance A company is in compliance when they follow all regulations and laws which are salient and binding

Convertible Note: A legally binding agreement that if an investor loans an agreed amount of money to a business, that it can be converted into equity at a later date. For example, an investor lends $50,000 to a business with an annual interest rate of 10%. After one year, the business performs a share issue, giving that investor shares equal to $55,000. That's the original amount, plus the 10% accrued interest as equity.

Convertible Preferred Shares An agreement where shareholders can convert their preferred shares into common shares. This usually has a specific time frame associated with it, such as a two years after investment.

Covenant:A legally binding agreement. This agreement stops an individual from carrying out a specific act.

This type of covenant means that if the founder sells their ownership in the future, they cannot set up a new company which competes with the original business.

Creditor Individual, group or organization that lends money to a business. The creditor is who the loan repayments should be made to..

Crowdfunding: When investors or interested parties pool their money together to support a financial venture.

    Awesome

    Excellent article

    Good material

    It’s really great. Huge advantage for new entrepreneurs

    We're trying to learn how to get funding for our patented automotive technology because we're technical people, not business people.

    Thanks

    Hello...I would like to receive the pitch deck template. Thanks

    Wonderful deck

    thank you

    Great information.

    Thanks Alejandro, I've used several of your resources to help in creating my company's content. Good Book too!

    When luck hits a person in business, it really becomes big time! Lucky you Julie!

    Gotta say Forbes has never let me down in educating myself in a venture I have goals in. Husband and I have been in the flip side of real estate for 13 years we've been together 16 years. And with the misfortune of mis- management and cutting corners on the contractors side of things I've decided to take a leap at getting funded for researched and estimated real estate investing funding for Buy Fix and Flip. With all the real estate videos and and media online they can have you thinking that you don't have to put in the work. Positive this is definitely upfront no BS the best I've read on how to take the first step in achieving my financial goals and career goals in helping my team or company I should say get investors to see and believe in my vision!

    I noticed you wrote it is not a good idea to disclose your runway in the pitch! What does this term mean?

    I'm going to try this and buy the book. Thanks

    This template has a good structure but too much text, by far. I agree with Alejandro, that you can use this for e-mail - but even then, you should defenitely write less.

PANTHERA ADVISORS

“With the help of Panthera, we raised over $85 million. At the time of the announcement, this was the largest Series A financing to date in LATAM. The operational experience and strategic guidance that Mike and Alejandro provided during the process were instrumental to make this happen.”

JP Galvao,Cofounder and CEO at VAI

“Panthera helped us tremendously getting on the right track for fundraising. The financial model Mike helped us to create was absolutely first-rate and we received a lot of positive feedback from investors about the detailed yet flexible modeling approach. The deck that Alejandro helped us to craft was concise and impactful and a number of VCs said it was one of the top decks they’ve ever seen.“

Asoka Veeravagu,Cofounder and CEO at Revolve

Following several attempts to identify a good business consultant in New York, I was recommended to Panthera Advisors. I needed a robust business plan, pitch deck for raising funds and a strong financial model for my mobile startup CoolCities, as well as recommendations for investors. From the first call that I had with Alejandro and his team, I was blown away by the level of expertise and knowledge, their transparent, honest and pragmatic approach to my business needs and the level of commitment they showed to my projects. Panthera advisors went above and beyond our agreed tasks, became real partners to my startups and shaped the way we moved forward as a company. Partnering with Panthera has been one of my best business decisions.

Konstantinos Tsilkos, Cofounder and CEO at CoolCities

The wisdom and experience behind Panthera makes it a unique option when you need to launch a high-level fundraising campaign

Francisco Benedito, Cofounder and CEO at Climate Blockchain

I had a great experience working with the very experienced team at Panthera. They knew exactly what we needed to accomplish with our pitch deck and financial model. Alejandro and Mike are really nice guys too

Joe Jesuele, Cofounder and CEO at HomeJab

“Aside from the essential modeling and presentation; we got real-world, multi-faceted insight into what it takes to build success. Alejandro and Mike were never shy about sharing from their own experiences the things that would give us a real edge. This was crucial in helping me align our strategy and size up the kind of impact we would have on the market.“

Don Bahlman, Cofounder and CEO at I Open Innovations

“Having decided to establish our company in the US and open up for investors, Panthera Advisors with Alejandro and Mike, has been excellent in their professional way of maneuvering the process. Their previous experience plays a very clear role in how they deal with us as clients, each of them delivering on the field where they have considerable expertise. It is a great pleasure for us to work with them and they already feel like part of our own team. We look forward to continue the work with them as we move forward.“

Belinda Sousa , Cofounder and CEO Park Adventures Group

“Alejandro and Mike have been incredibly valuable advisors to our health tech business, particularly as we explore new funding and growth opportunities. I’ve enjoyed the experience and I’d highly recommend working with them.”

“Building something from the ground up is never easy: no matter your background, or how many times you may have done it before. You have to surround yourself with the right people and that used to take time, but now there’s Panthera.”

Todd Lundbohm , Cofounder and CEO at 828 Media

“Working with Panthera was an experience that opened our minds. Overall, it was great working with Alejandro and Mike as they helped us either with the strategic thinking of how to prepare our pitch deck in a simple way or with how to build a complete and complex financial model. They have been very supportive and available when we needed.“

Diego Chorny, Cofounder and CEO at ShopAdvizor

“We will repeat our experience with Panthera Advisors. Alejandro and Mike are outstanding and devoted professionals with clear focus and knowledge. Since the handshake, they led our M&A deal guiding us through all the processes, from the financial analysis to the negotiations, showing a deep understanding of each nuance and high level of interlocution during the outreach. They managed each step on behalf of our interests making us feel confident and backed.“

Jose Luis De Federico,Cofounder and CEO at Bizpills Group

“Alejandro and Mike exceeded our expectations by taking what we thought was a sufficient financial model and translating it in a way investors resonate with. They also challenged some assumptions and affirmed others, key to making our story and approach more robust."

“Working with Alejandro and Mike at Panthera has been incredibly helpful and a real pleasure. What those guys don’t know about the investment process probably isn’t worth knowing. After all, they literally wrote the book on it! I highly recommend them to any entrepreneur who’s looking for help on their fundraising process.”

Jason Bullock,Cofounder and CEO at Numerous

“ Panthera Advisors played a major role in helping us secure our initial funding. We look forward to having Panthera Advisors continue the journey to a household name with us.“
