IPO
Seed Investment
• Lower Risks - Startup already has:
- traction, sales
- most likely got to Break Even
• High Returns – Startup still has:
- high growth potential
- enough not-yet-distributed equity)))) big dilution comes on the next round
• Seed Investment in CIS:
- $50K (pre-Seed) -$500K
- building good projects pipeline is a challenge – we can help you!

… a Bit of History
How Incubators Work – world wide practice
• Operational expenses are covered by:
- corporate money (StartupBootCamp, Hub:Raum etc)
- grants (EDA, iHub)
- university funds (MIT Global Startup Labs, BI “Polyteco”)
- philanthropists (BI “Polyteco”, Endeavor)
• Invest very little sums of money
• Can be used as a pipeline for Seed fund to get high-quality applications
- produce or refine talent
- allow research, product development and early tests happen
• In most cases are non-profitable
Y-Combinator and alike – are dots out of this trend line
… Why We Make a Pivot
How VC Funds Work
• Not a Mutual Fund, not a Hedge Fund
• General Partner – Limited Partners – Advisory – Administrator – Co-investors - etc
• Portfolio under management
• Capital commitment – capital contribution – investment – distribution – catch-up
