What a privilege it was to have Peter Walker, Head of Insights, on decks today at #Planet43, to explore the "State of Nations." 10 Key Takeaways 1. Leverage the Power of the Platform: Discover Carta's robust fundraising features, such as the "fundraising" tab, modeling ownership, and understanding the impact of different funding scenarios. 2. Understand the Various Methods of Valuation: Founders should embrace realistic valuations for the health and sustainability of their businesses. Remember, even giants like Nvidia faced a down round last week! 3. Not All Financial Instruments Are Equal: Explore a variety of financial instruments, including venture debt, angel funding, family offices, traditional bank instruments like lines of credit and invoice factoring, and corporate venture capital. VC is not the only path. 4. Revenue Focus: Drive top-line growth and revenue generation as key indicators for attracting investment and maintaining momentum. Revenue can solve everything. 5. Simulation of Term Sheets: Utilize Carta's tools to simulate term sheets and understand their impact on ownership. Ensure you aren't giving away too much equity for too little money. Typical dilution: Seed - 20%, Series A - another 20%. 6. Continuation Vehicle Analysis: When a VC proposes a continuation vehicle, founders should consider if they are ready for such long-term financial commitments. 7. Investor Engagement: When pitching to investors, emphasize business momentum, scalability, and market potential. Highlight how AI is transforming your trajectory. 8. Pitch Preparation and Timing: Plan pitch sessions for mid-July, but consider returning in September if you are not fully prepared. To show momentum, focus on closing deals with customers, partners, and distributors. 9. Leverage Reliable Systems: More than 90% of cap tables audited by Carta had errors. Use Carta to turn good governance into your competitive advantage. 10. Understand the True Compensation Landscape: Use Carta to create a comp package that balances cash AND equity. Create a powerful magnet to attract and retain top talent.
