Tiivistelmä
This thesis will analyze different considerations that influence the valuation of a startup ,and how different decisions at different stages of development, affect the probability of success, as well as how it will influence the perception and valuation of the startup by investors and potential stakeholders. This will take into account the funding of angel investors, evaluate what they look for in a company to make investments, as well as the perspective of venture capital.
During his studies in Finland, the author has attended different business events, conferences and books, focusing on the creation and financing of startups, how to attract talent and develop a compensation package that is financially efficient and decreases risks for the startup while motivating the employee and co-founders to continue giving their best, while taking care of their living needs in a fairly comfortable way.
The objective of this thesis is to learn what considerations to make when making a decision, agree with the terms of acquisition for employees and co-founders, as well as for investors. Learn how different decision making processes within a business affects each other and affect the probability of success of a startup, at first, one focus of the thesis was how to maintain control, however after researching and studying, you learned about motivations, control versus wealth and how the decision-making process must be aligned to create success.
We examine the motivations of different investors and what they see in a team and founders; How different the founder's talents can be applied at different stages of startup development, when those abilities and motivations can be detrimental to it. We analyze the decision-making process taking into account the motivations, perceptions and dynamics among all different stakeholders, including the founder himself. The most important conclusion of this study is basically to be aware that the decision-making process is aligned with the motivations of different shareholders, this is what will ultimately result in the highest probability of the startup succeeding.
And in the event that the motivation is the wealth, creation and financial success of the first startup, you can bring the financial means to then create other startups more motivated in control, with the aim of creating the dream of having an umbrella corporation that positively affects the world in several areas.
