15 { The VC Ecosystem }
16 The Role of Venture Capital Venture Capital firms exist to generate compelling riskadjusted returns for their fund investors by making the businesses in which they invest more valuable and liquid. Value generation is based upon strategies to mitigate risk, validate opportunity and solution via evidence generation, creation of enduring value by overcoming barriers, and positioning of companies attractively to potential acquirers. These goals are met through the aforementioned financial, strategic, resource, and influence added value dimensions.

26 { Navigating Fundraising }
27 Setting Expectations Fundraising is an iterative evolving process, not an event. Today, top companies with proven leadership are still often spending 6 to 12 months raising a new round of financing. While it used be typical to target only a handful of fitting firms, in the current environment, a CEO may pitch to 25 or more firms. Hence, executives must consider themselves in continuous fundraising mode, and allocate team bandwidth appropriately. Consider initiating informal dialogue with prospective investors as a preview to a formal fundraising process, while at the same time progressing towards operational milestones to support. Find alternative financings sources to bridge to that financing. In other words: talk to future investors sooner rather than later. Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 27
28 Access: Where to Start? 1. Find a fitting, experienced, committed mentor for guidance 2. Interact with other entrepreneurs to share experiences 3. Engage an attorney to advise on process & structure 4. Recruit experts & influencial KOLs for input & support 5. Network, network, network medtech is a small world! 6. Target investors that fit stage, $$$, interests, experience 7. Orchestrate introductions hot is always better than cold! 8. Build credibility through validation by this team & network Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 28
29 Key Elements of Fundraising Strategy 1. Target: Who, How, & When 2. Intro: Leveraging Your Network 3. Reputation: Demonstration of Credibility 4. Plan: Define Milestones & Risk Mitigations 5. Request: Financing Plan, Rationale, Options 6. Diligence: Details, Validation, References 7. Follow-Up: Patience, Persistence, Balance Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 29

31 { Deal-Making Essentials }
32 Advancing the Process Diligence Company value and financing strategy is fundamentally informed by the due diligence process. Physicians & technical experts Execs with domain experience Potential acquirers Reference checks Intellectual property Deal Generally, prospective investors will initiate the deal proposal process based upon inputs. Term Sheet it all starts here! Negotiation process Syndication (optional) Partnership approval Legal documentation Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 32
33 Deal Term Basics Security (Preferred vs. Common Stock) Valuation (Pre- and Post-Money concepts) Control and Voting Provisions Governance (e.g. Board of Directors) Employee Matters (e.g. Option Pool) Tranching, Downside Protection, Pay-to-Play, etc... See the National Venture Capital Association s Model Financing Documents for standardized templates. Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 33
34 Current Environment & Trends Current deal finance trends reflect economic conditions, availability of capital, future financing risk, and returns expectations. Larger rounds fund companies for longer duration, reduce future financing burden & risk Depressed valuations but inherently less variability with a first round of financing Frequent tranching gradual investment of allocated capital Pay-to-play common favorable to encourage continued support First Round Second Round Later Stage $61.5 $47.0 $47.8 $39.7 $40.6 $48.0 $30.2 $37.0 $28.2 $33.9 $28.7 $19.0 $17.2 $18.0 $16.3 $24.4 $14.7 $13.4 $13.0 $7.2 $12.5 $10.0 $5.0 $6.2 $4.2 $5.0 $4.6 $4.9 $5.0 $ Aptiv Medtech Bootcamp Not to be reproduced without permission. 10 May 2012 Slide 34
