Crowdfunding Deep Impact 2013

• UK has lots of great ideas

• Need to cultivate ideas into the next Google/Twitter/GroupOn

• Often stifled by access to

The Status Quo

A wealth of entrepreneurial talent

Google says searches for

"business plan UK" have

increased by 60% over the

past year and searches for

"small business loan" are up

by 34%

Money

• Venture capital difficult to find for smaller requirements

• Debt finance hard to come by

• Business angels – limited investments

• Typically a syndicate each investing £10k - £100k

• What if there was a way to have say 5000 angels each investing £10?

• What if anyone could become a business angel?

The Status Quo

The Status Quo

Crowdcube and Crowdfunding

• Crowdcube provides a web-based central hub for entrepreneurs to meet micro-investors. It uses the power of Crowdfunding to provide a unique service to two types of people:

• for entrepreneurs to source funding more accessibly than conventional routes

• for smaller investors to have the opportunity to invest in exciting high-potential businesses

What is Crowdcube?

“$100 invested in Microsoft at their IPO would now be

worth approximately $35k.”

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding • Crowdfunding is an approach to raising the capital required for a new

project or enterprise by appealing to large numbers of ordinary people for small donations

• Social Media

• Crowdfunding examples

• Kiva.org - $325m funding raised, >777,000 lenders, ~800,000 entrepreneurs

• Kickstarter.com – >24,000 projects funded, > $250m pledged to-date, 2m people have pledged

GOOD AFTERNOON!

Ariadne Capital Limited is authorised and regulated by the U.K. Financial Services Authority

The Face of Every Entrepreneur

They just may not show it to you!

Two Good Reasons

• They see the inevitable and advance the Future

• They are willing to live abnormal lives

Capital Follows Ideas Always Has, Always Will

Remember the New Economy? Turns out it’s latest version of “New”

Economic Growth since the end of the 18th Century has gone through 5 Distinct Stages, associated with 5 successive Technological Revolutions

Five Successive Technological Revolutions, 1770’s to 2000’s

FIRST The Industrial Revolution

SECOND Age of Steam and Railways

Britain (spreading to Continent and USA)

Test of the Rocket steam engine for the Liverpool-Manchester railway

1829

THIRD Age of Steel, Electricity and Heavy Engineering

US and Germany forging ahead and overtaking Britain

The Carnegie Bessemer stell plant opens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

1875

FOURTH Age of Oil, the Automobile and Mass Production

USA (with Germany at fist vying for world leadership), later spreading to Europe

First Model-T comes out of the Ford plant in Detroit, Michigan

1908

FIFTH Age of Information and Telecommunications

Last new products and industries. Earlier ones approaching maturity and market saturation

AGE OF IT AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS 50 ISH YEAR CYCLE – 1971 TO 20...?

BIG BANG – NOVEMBER 1971 IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA

• Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore launched Intel’s first microprocessor, the precursor of the computer

on a chip

INSTALLATION – late 1970’s through to Noughties

• 1976 – Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak found Apple Computer

• 1984 - Michael Dell founds PC’s Limited later named Dell Computer Corporation

• 1985 – Irwin Jacobs founds QualComm, pioneer in Wireless Communications

• 1990 – CERN / Tim Berners Lee

• 1994 – Yahoo founded

• 2003 – Skype – “free calls on web”

• 2004 - Facebook founded

THE TURNING POINT


THE REVOLUTION STARTS AS A SMALL FACT WITH BIG PROMISE AND MOVES TO A SIGNIFICANT FORCE IN THE MARKET


Big Bangs attract new investment: successful radical innovations receive and promise extraordinary profits in a mature industrial landscape

The Installation Period is one of tense co-existence of two paradigms

•Once a truly superior technology is available, with higher productivity and clear growth potential, the outcome in the medium term is practically inevitable.

•First 2 or 3 decades of creative destruction after the Big Bang are increasingly turbulent and the benefits of growth uneven.

•A new context is being created; a new common sense is emerging.

•The world of computers and the Internet is very different than the world of the car, mass production and the highway.

Consumerisation of Technology

Ariadne advised Skype on business development activity in 2003 and 2004

The consumer's adoption of services is driving everything, reversing how new products and services used to come to market through the enterprise.

User

Supplier

Client

Raymond Kurzweil The Singularity is Near

• Technology operates exponentially while our minds operate linearly

• It took 89 years for the fixed line telephone to achieve an adoption of 150 million users, but only 38 years for the television to get to the same point. The mobile phone achieved this in 14 years, the iPod in 7, and Facebook in 5.

• 20,000 years of progress this century.

• At a certain point, we have to leverage technology or artificial intelligence to continue to model or predict the future

Network-orientation to business

and Ecosystem Economics

• Google says that they organise the world’s information

• They actually organise the economics of the world’s information

• I, as a consumer of their search, am not given any economic upside in the search

transaction.

• They have built a multi-billion pound business using – albeit anonymously – my personal

data – aggregated with that of others, but releasing none of the economic value to me

• Their biggest Achilles Heel is if someone in the search space were to cut a different set of

economics for the consumer

• Ariadne Capital found that entrepreneur – John Paleomylites – founder of

BeatThatQuote, and sold his business to Google on the 4th of March 2011 for a 122 EBITDA

Individual Capitalism is the Force for the 21st Century

“Capitalism was about empowered authority which didn’t necessarily activate the citizenry; the Internet stands that on its

head, and shifts the power to the Individual

– making Individual Capitalism the force of the 21st Century”.

So I say it’s really very simple....
