the new sustainable finance sector"

Jouko Ahvenainen

CAPITAL CREATION AND CROWDFUNDING CONFERENCE

Los Angeles, March 13, 2012!
Grow VC!

§  Is not a venture capital company, but connects
    all parties in the global ecosystem, including
    venture capital companies!
§  Global community & marketplace – “built to
    scale”!
    –  Be global, act local!
    –  Global #1 platform for startup equity funding!
§  Grow VC platform is open for 3rd parties to set
    up several market places, and other startup and
    investor communities!
2                           www.growvc.com
Grow VC has created an effective and transparent
    online investing marketplace for global startup
    ecosystem. – ”The Virtual Silicon Valley”!

Grow VC & The Soho Loft - Crowdfunding and Capital Creation
The industrial age is over!
    Destroyed by News Corp
Where are we today?!

§  Still in finance crisis where people have lost their trust
    to financial institutions!
§  The stock market hasn’t offered really stable growth
    for 10 years!
§  Many people losing their jobs, and other are frustrated
    to sit in meetings and make PowerPoint slides!
§  Top percent is becoming richer, middle-class is
    struggling!
§  Asia is taking over the global leadership in business
    and finance!

HOME!    STARTUPS!   PEOPLE!
   “You don’t have to be
      Steve Jobs, to be
       an entrepreneur”
Economy needs growth and

people need passion!
§  Our economy needs a boost!
   1.  Corporates don’t create enough new jobs!
   2.  New technology and business innovations drive growth!
   3.  Increasing global competition!
§  People need passion and meaningful work!
   1.  Many people are frustrated to their daily work!
   2.  Ordinary people could invest in startups their money and work
       (‘sweat equity’) and also participate in something meaningful!
   3.  There is no one single model to work and invest anymore,
       people and companies in different networks need models to
       work, raise capital and invest!
Vision!
The next Silicon Valley is not a one location, it is a global
      online platform and community of all locations     !
Mission!
To have a market place and ecosystem to make company
    funding more effective, transparent, and democratic
                                                      !
                           !
WE HAVE A DREAM:
more equal opportunities,
    where entrepreneurs
      and investors unite
 to accelerate innovation
global
 transparent
    open
collaborative
   efficient
   scalable
HOME!    STARTUPS!   PEOPLE!

               an investor”

We have a problem!

1.  The Funding market is inefficient!
     -    VC’s invest mainly in later phase companies!
     -    Business angel funding is often based only on personal or local networks!
     -    No liquid secondary market, and not enough IPO’s!

2.  One model doesn’t fit all!
     -    Startups have very different risk and growth profiles, many of them are
          not traditional VC cases!

3.  Investing is not only about money!
     -    Companies need investors that can help with business around the world!
     -    Early phase companies also need core team members!
     -    For VC’s it is too expensive to allocate people for seed level companies!


16                                         www.growvc.com
Friends and families invest more

more than VC’s and angels!
1.    Market efficiency!
      –  VC market includes $540 Million in transaction fees (~3 %)!
      –  Business Angels have limited investment deal flow!
      –  Households savings on the rise à where to place money?!
           •  US household savings almost $8,000 Billion p.a. (Feb 2011, Bureau of
              Economic Analysis) !
      !
2.    Modern solutions bring efficiency!
      –  Kiva.org transactions over $200 Million in 5 years!

3.    Market place!
      –  Large deal flow!
      –  Crowdsourcing for work and low transaction costs!
      –  Efficient due diligence (standard term sheets, including partners in process)!
      –  Efficiency enables agile funding !
Grow VC & The Soho Loft - Crowdfunding and Capital Creation
More democractic investment market!

§  Open startup investment opportunity for more people!
§  Ordinary people or wealthy ordinary people (depending on local
    regulation) can make direct or micro investments!
§  Work investments (Sweat Equity)!
§  For example, in the US there are over 6 Million accredited
    investors, but only !
     -  500k to 700k of them have invested in startups (as an angel or friends&family)!
     -  100k to 300k are active business angels!
     -  A few hundred angels in Silicon Valley!

§  It is not only about ROI, but to support new ideas, technologies,
    change and economy!

  • 16. We have a problem! 1.  The Funding market is inefficient! -  VC’s invest mainly in later phase companies! -  Business angel funding is often based only on personal or local networks! -  No liquid secondary market, and not enough IPO’s! 2.  One model doesn’t fit all! -  Startups have very different risk and growth profiles, many of them are not traditional VC cases! 3.  Investing is not only about money! -  Companies need investors that can help with business around the world! -  Early phase companies also need core team members! -  For VC’s it is too expensive to allocate people for seed level companies! 16 www.growvc.com
  • 17. Friends and families invest more
 more than VC’s and angels! 1.  Market efficiency! –  VC market includes $540 Million in transaction fees (~3 %)! –  Business Angels have limited investment deal flow! –  Households savings on the rise à where to place money?! •  US household savings almost $8,000 Billion p.a. (Feb 2011, Bureau of Economic Analysis) ! ! 2.  Modern solutions bring efficiency! –  Kiva.org transactions over $200 Million in 5 years! 3.  Market place! –  Large deal flow! –  Crowdsourcing for work and low transaction costs! –  Efficient due diligence (standard term sheets, including partners in process)! –  Efficiency enables agile funding !
  • 19. More democractic investment market! §  Open startup investment opportunity for more people! §  Ordinary people or wealthy ordinary people (depending on local regulation) can make direct or micro investments! §  Work investments (Sweat Equity)! §  For example, in the US there are over 6 Million accredited investors, but only ! -  500k to 700k of them have invested in startups (as an angel or friends&family)! -  100k to 300k are active business angels! -  A few hundred angels in Silicon Valley! §  It is not only about ROI, but to support new ideas, technologies, change and economy! 19 www.growvc.com
