Funding Statistics from Venture Capitalists:
Probability of Funding is 1% or Below
“From the 500-800 business plans received and
reviewed a year, somewhere between 50-100 initial 1
hour meetings are held. After this, August is
interested in about 20 companies and serious about
4 and he will invest in 1 to 2 deals”
-David Hornik – Partner, August Capital
“From the fund I work for, and a handful of others for
which I have an anecdotal answer, I can tell you that
about 0.6%-0.9% of companies that seek funding
from a VC fund end up getting an investment”
-Sean Owen – Pentech Ventures
“Venture funds invest in 1 out of every 400
companies seeking funding, or 0.25%”
-David Rose – CEO, Gust
“For every 100 business plans that come to a VC
firm for funding, usually only 10 get a serious look
and only 1 ends up being funded”
-Venture Capital Yearbook

1. User/Unit Rollout
• The User Base is the spine on which the financial model is built:
Ø Identify your modeling unit: user, unit of product, subscriber, intermediary, etc.
Ø Select your business model (B2B, B2c, B2B2C, licensing)
Ø Model and understand the Unit Economics (based on your industry benchmarks) -
the incremental cost and revenue from adding one unit – this is critical to building
a financial model!
Ø Align User/Unit rollout story with:
• Go-to-Market strategy (going viral is NOT a strategy…)
• Product roadmap
• R&D/Engineering roadmap
• IP Filing Roadmap

Principles of Cost Planning
• Minimize overhead, and make cost as variable as possible, so you only
pay when you make money
Ø Variable Cost >> vary with revenues (COGS)
Ø Fixed Cost >> payroll, marketing, overhead
• Focus on your org. chart as payroll is the largest cost item in an early
stage company (non-manufacturing)
• Fund the overhead, and your working capital gaps (critical in
manufacturing/supply chain situations), so you don’t dilute your
shareholders

Cost Buildup: Cost Functions
• Modeling by Cost Function:
ØCost of Goods Sold: direct cost related to goods or services sold
• Vary with revenues, for examples: raw materials, sales commissions, etc
ØResearch & Development (R&D):
• Engineering salaries, facility operating cost
ØSales and Marketing:
• Sales (cost related to selling products or services), marketing (advertising, cost related to
branding)
ØGeneral and Administrative
• All overhead: rent, other office expenses, legal, services insurance, admin salaries,
management salaries (unless allocated to other functions)

Cost Buildup: Over Time
• Years 1 & 2 are predicted on a monthly basis to estimate “burn rate”
based on actual assumptions
• Years 3 and beyond are driven as a percentage of revenue using
industry normalized ratios
ØAs revenue is generated more consistently, expenses should converge to
industry ratios
ØBefore revenues are stabilized, expenses cannot be expected to have a ratio
correlation to revenues, therefore expenses in the early years need to be
estimated from scratch

Special Offers for Our Workshop Participants
1) Introductory Consulting Session: We help identify a company’s strengths and weaknesses in an
effort to enhance your company’s positioning for funding. Using our Startup Assessment Survey which is
the first step in this process, which is then followed by 2 sessions focusing on the two main categories
that contribute to startup success: Product and Execution. We provide guided instructions for
improvement, and following that session, we could also launch any of our services (business model
selection, funding strategy or IP strategy).
2) Advanced SaaS Modeling Seminar: We have developed this course to enable participants to
go in-depth into SaaS modeling, as a follow up to the introductory concepts presented in class. We
cap the number of participants in these seminars to a small group of 3 people, to enable us to
address the individual needs of each participant while also providing a more focused tutorial on how
to create a financial model for your SaaS company. These half-day seminars are typically held at our
Palo Alto office but we can also hold the seminar at your company or over a web conference.
