• Market validation tool• Intermediary for large funds and a

complement to traditional funding• Filters deals• Creates brand awareness• Equity CF is like a regular business angel

deal… with more investors and with lower tickets (but same quality requested in business case & documentation pack)

WHAT WE CLAIM ABOUT CF

• Expectations! Everybody wants to sign MOUs with us

• Big angels involved. Eg. Johan Jörgensen – Sweden VC of the year 2011

• VC funds offer us their discarded deals, in exchange of preferred option to invest after successful CF

• Crossborder investment happens naturally. Eg. Javier Latorre (Spain) invested 500€ in Eggs Inc. (Sweden)

• Banks are approaching: a large database of investors is an asset

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US

• Angels should start getting used to having a large number of individuals with equity in their companies.

• Angels should legitimate CF: there is no randomness or desperation in entrepreneurs seeking crowdfunding

• Angels should impulse shareholders agreements designed to come to consensus on big decisions with lots of small private shareholders. Drag and Tag along clauses is a must!

• Crowdfunding could be a guarantee for a bank loan• ROI should be frequently based on a revenue

based investment model (25-30% / yr)
