Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ouvrage présente les méthodes d’évaluation attachées à cette classe d’actifs et éclaire le lecteur sur les singularités du montage d’une opération de capital-risque, en replaçant l’industrie du capital-risque dans sa perspective théorique. Le capital-risque est une industrie qui a vocation à soutenir financièrement les entreprises innovantes. Elle est constituée d’un large périmètre d’acteurs (business angels, financement participatif, sociétés d’investissement spécialisées, structures de corporate venture adossées à une grande entreprise). Les investissements en capital-risque s’effectuent en effet sur des projets incertains et volatils, ce qui implique des montages financiers différents de ceux employés pour des entreprises plus matures (prêt bancaire, LBO, etc.), ainsi que l’utilisation de méthodes d’évaluation d’entreprises particulières. Cet ouvrage présente les techniques d’évaluation des startups risquées (méthodes de scoring, Venture Capital Method, First Chicago Bank Method, options réelles) utilisées par les sociétés de capital-risque. Il explique la façon dont ces sociétés structurent les montages lorsqu’elles investissent dans une startup innovante (logique de l’investissement séquentiel pour tours de table successifs, techniques de relution en cas de défaillance de la startup, mécanismes de la cession préférentielle). Il est également à jour des nouveauxmodes de financement des startups (Venture loan, Initial Coin Offering) et détaille les principales stratégies de croissance (growth hacking, lean startup) déployées par celles-ci afin de rendre leur business model scalable. Il expose les nouvelles métriques de suivi de la performance associées à ces stratégies (customer acquisition cost, customer retention rate, customer lifetime value, etc.) et couvre les modes de sortie du capital-risque (introduction en bourse, sortie industrielle, reclassement des participations entre actionnaires, liquidation). Les aspects légaux (principales clauses des pactes d’actionnaires) et fiscaux sont également mentionnés. De nombreuses études de cas accompagnées de calculs détaillés permettront au lecteur de se familiariser avec ces montages et méthodes d’évaluation particuliers.

Download or read book Venture Capital and the Finance of Innovation written by Andrew Metrick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invaluable resource for current and aspiring technology investors, Venture Capital and the Finance of Innovation provides an in-depth understanding of the tools and models needed to succeed in this competitive and highly fluid business environment. Building on a comprehensive introduction to fundamental financial and investment principles, the text guides the reader toward a robust skill set using enterprise valuation and preferred stock valuation models, risk and reward, strategic finance, and other concepts central to any venture capital and growth equity investment. Two features of the book stand out from other sources on the subject. First, it pays special attention to the enterprise valuation methodology for high-growth companies. What drives the value of a company that has little physical assets, losing money now but has a small chance of achieving great success in several years? How do you create estimates for sales, profit and return on capital when little data is available? The book answers these questions using a discounted cash flow model that is tailor-made for technology companies (DCF.xlsx downloadable from the instructor website), and the comparables model. Second, it highlights the most valuation-relevant feature of VC term sheets, namely the use of convertible preferred stock. The book shows the reader how to use a user-friendly and automated valuation model of VC preferred stock (available at www.vcvtools.com) to value various types of preferred stock and to visualize how term sheets split the values of the firm between entrepreneurs and VCs. Accessible, comprehensive, and assuming only basic knowledge of venture capital, this text offers essential guidance for successful VC and growth equity investing in any market.

Download or read book Le capital risque et le financement de l innovation written by Bernard Guilhon and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le financement des projets innovants, fondamentalement ambigus, donne souvent lieu à des situations où la prise de décision est difficile. Cette dernière peut être améliorée par des pratiques telles que la syndication ou le financement par étapes. La dynamique de cette industrie demande de considérer les variables économiques et institutionnelles qui en font un système cohérent dans les pays anglo-saxons, mais qui, au contraire, la réduisent à une niche privilégiée par les pouvoirs publics en Europe et en France. Cet ouvrage propose deux idées directrices. La première présente l’innovation comme un processus très incertain. Cela a pour effet de modifier l’écologie de la décision des acteurs financiers, qui interviennent très en amont du marché, pour asseoir sur des bases plus solides l’évaluation et la sélection des projets. La deuxième énonce que les acteurs détiennent des connaissances partielles dans un contexte où leur capacité d’attention est limitée. Ces limitations cognitives nécessitent la formation de réseaux et donnent lieu à des relations de dépendance mutuelle et de complémentarité.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship As Practice written by Neil Aaron Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book takes seriously the ordinary activities of entrepreneurship and maps out new pathways for scholars to understand the nature, properties, and implications of studying practices for entrepreneurship studies. Entrepreneurship is neither an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker once observed. Curiously however, academic research on entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the practices of entrepreneurship. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Download or read book Finance entrepreneuriale written by Jean Redis and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’accès aux ressources financières constitue une préoccupation centrale pour tout créateur d’entreprise. Lorsque les apports personnels et les crédits bancaires ne suffisent plus à financer la croissance, l’ouverture du capital (auprès de business angels ou de fonds de capital-risque) peut constituer une solution. Ouvrir son capital implique de répondre à trois questions : A quel type d’investisseurs faut-il s’adresser ? Comment prépare-t-on une levée de fonds ? Comment s’organisera la relation avec l’investisseur, une fois celui-ci entré au capital de l’entreprise ? C’est à ces trois questions que cet ouvrage a pour but de répondre. Dans une perspective pédagogique, il mêle la présentation des acteurs et des concepts, des conseils pratiques et des statistiques portant sur l’activité du capital-investissement. Des éléments de théorie sont intégrés afin de mettre en perspective les problématiques clés pour mieux éclairer le lecteur. La première partie présente un panorama des investisseurs en capital que l’entrepreneur peut solliciter, en fonction du stade de développement de son entreprise et de l’importance de ses besoins de fonds. La deuxième partie analyse le déroulement de la levée de fonds, en guidant pas à pas le créateur d’entreprise dans les différentes phases de cette démarche : l'élaboration du business plan ; la construction des documents financiers prévisionnels ; le processus de sélection des dossiers par les investisseurs et la négociation juridico-financière. La troisième partie met en évidence les avantages, mais aussi les contraintes, que peut apporter la présence d’un investisseur au capital d’une jeune entreprise. A titre d’illustration, deux études de cas sont présentées.

Book excerpt: Comprendre, maîtriser et optimiser le financement de la R&D et de l'innovation (R&I) Si de nombreuses sources d'information existent sur le financement de la R&D ou sur certaines mesures spécifiques d'aides à l'innovation, aucune ne propose une véritable approche globale et méthodologique des différents dispositifs de soutien.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship and New Value Creation written by Alain Fayolle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-22 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some individuals decide they want to create businesses and then actually do so? Why do others decide against this course of action, even though they appear to have what it takes to succeed? These two questions were among the first that researchers in the field of entrepreneurship tried to answer. Recently, it seems that the problem is much more difficult to solve than it first appeared thirty years ago. The venture creation phenomenon is a complex one, covering a wide variety of situations. The purpose of this book is to improve our understanding of this complexity by offering both a theory of the entrepreneurial process and practical advice on how to start a new business and manage it effectively. Entrepreneurship and New Value Creation is a fascinating, research-driven book that will appeal to graduate students, researchers and reflective practitioners concerned with the dynamics of the entrepreneurial process.
