Investment Size
Frederic Baud
Hi, I'm an Ex High Tech Ceo and now working in the M&A sector in
Paris. I believe P2P venture could be (will be) a very attractive for
the 1st Bizangels round and also for getting venture money; (business
angels provide all together around 250K€ up to 500K€, each one
providing from 5K€ to 200K€; venture starts from 1M€ to 5M€, at least
in Europe...). At that stage of financing it s not so easy to afford
loans due to the fact that the company is not cash flow positive, but
it is possible, loans cant be guaranteed by convertible shares...).
Very interesting subject and many ways to leverage financing (fiscal
subsidies for the investor etc.). Congratulations for Barcamp, very
good initiative ! -- PatrickLardant
Hi Patrick and welcome to P2PVenture. We are having BarCampBank3
(http://barcamporg/BarCampBank3) this week-end and will be discussing
the subject. I see that you registered for the event, we'll have the
opportunity to meet and discuss further in persons.
I think that a typical BA size is definitely a possibility and
requires full analysis. Several people are currently thinking over the
subject and some of them will be physically present tomorrow on
BarCampBank3 (http://barcamporg/BarCampBank3).
I'm wondering if there would not be another matching market between
very small businesses and former professionals (like a baker who wants
to start a new bakery in the regions and looks for money from current
and former bakers everywhere in the country).
Both subjects are not mutually exclusive and feedback from online
discussions and physical discussions at BarCampBank3 (http://
barcamporg/BarCampBank3) will certainly help to understand how things
could be positioned. -- FredericBaud
