QUESTION 20 Startup Inc. (Post Series A Capitalization Table) Shares % Common Stock: Founders: Natalie & Matt 5,000,000 50% Series A Preferred Stock: CMU Ventures

QUESTION 20

  1. Startup Inc.

    (Post Series A Capitalization Table)

    Shares

    %

    Common Stock:

    Founders: Natalie & Matt

    5,000,000

    50%

    Series A Preferred Stock:

    CMU Ventures III, LP

    5,000,000

    50%

    Total Capital Stock

    10,000,000

    100%

    Use the above capitalization table for Startup Inc. (Startup) and assume that:

    • Founders (Natalie & Matt) purchased their shares of common stock for $0.001 per share (for a total of $5,000).
    • A venture capital fund managed by Tim and Hadley of CMU Ventures (CMUV) recently paid $1.00 for each share of its Series A preferred stock (for a total of $5,000,000).
    • Immediately after the Series A financing, CMUV has the right to convert each share of its Series A preferred stock into one share of common stock.
    • The Series A preferred stock has full ratchet price-based anti-dilution protection.
    • The Series A preferred stock has a ONE times liquidation preference right (i.e., LP = 1X) AND the Series A preferred stock is full participating.
    • The above capitalization table is accurate and complete (i.e., immediately after the Series A financing there are no other outstanding shares of stock or options to purchase stock).

    Using the Venture Capital valuation method we covered in class, what were CMUVs POST-money and PRE-money valuations of Startup?

    POST-money = $10,000,000; PRE-money = $5,000,000

    POST-money = $5,000,000; PRE-money = $10,000,000

    POST-money = $5,000; PRE-money = $5,005,000

    POST-money = $5,005,000; PRE-money = $5,000
