4. Planning for Raising Capital and Find the Amount to be Raised for Startup

In order to raise the most money possible for a startup, it is often recommended that a company aim to raise at least three times its total annual revenue. This means that a company with $1 million in revenue would need to raise $3 million to be successful.

Some factors that can affect the amount that a startup needs to raise include the stage of the company, the industry it is in, the location of the company, and the number of employees. There is no right or wrong answer, but raising as much money as possible is always advised.

Attraverso il Aumenta il capitale program, we advise you on how much to raise and how to break the amount down so that we can increase the likelihood of raising the money. We take into account the amount to be raised, how likely it is to raise it and how much it will take to raise it and we base our funding plan on the conclusions.

Starting with a reasonable amount of money to be raised is a highly important aspect as asking for more than what is needed is not a good approach and it leads to problems in the long term.

We start first with breaking the amount to be raised into multiple rounds. This will help you in increasing your chances of raising capital and giving up less equity.

For example, if the founder looks to raise $2M for 20% for multiple purposes in mind, we try to work on focusing on the essential goals and we recommend breaking the amount and targeting $500K for the first round to give up less equity at such an early stage. This is studied on a case by case basis.

La diluizione azionaria è un termine utilizzato nel contesto della raccolta fondi di startup che si riferisce alla riduzione del numero di azioni ordinarie disponibili per l'acquisto da parte degli investitori.Quando una startup aumenta il capitale emettendo capitale proprio, l'importo del patrimonio netto per l'acquisto diminuisce all'aumentare del numero di azioni emesse.Ciò si verifica perché ogni quota di azioni ordinarie rappresenta un interesse di proprietà proporzionale nella società. Con l'aumento del numero di azioni emesse, la percentuale di proprietà detenuta da ciascun investitore diminuisce.

Identificare l'equità giusta di cui hai bisogno per rinunciare agli investitori è basato sul tuo Valutazione dell'avvio in the funding round and the invested amount of the angel investor and VC. The more engaged the investors were in the round the more equity they will take. VCs tend to get more equity in the startup (30%-40%) compared to angel investors (20%-30%) as they invest more, but it also depends on how much was the VC or angel investor involved.
