HOW DOES MPOWERU WORK?
here are six steps of a possible investment funnel for Mpoweru
Deal Sourcing
The first step is to source deals by networking with entrepreneurs, attending events and conferences, and leveraging the firm's existing relationships with incubators, accelerators, and venture capital firms.
Initial Screening
Once potential deals are identified, they go through an initial screening process to determine if they meet the firm's investment criteria, including sustainability and equality focus, strong founder and management teams, unique and defensible technology or IP, and large and growing addressable markets.
Due Diligence
f a potential deal passes the initial screening, the firm conducts more detailed due diligence, including analyzing the company's financials, market opportunity, product or service differentiation, and competition.
Negotiation
After completing due diligence, the firm enters into negotiations with the startup's founders and management team to determine the terms of the investment, including the amount of funding, equity stake, and any other conditions.
Investment
Once negotiations are complete and the firm and startup agree on the terms, the investment is made, and funds are transferred to the startup.
Portfolio Management
After investing in a startup, the firm works closely with the management team to provide support, guidance, and access to the firm's network of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. The firm also monitors the performance of its portfolio companies to determine if additional funding or strategic guidance is needed to help the startup succeed.
INVESTMENT
Here are some more details on Investments, as it’s a critical part of the investment funnel
EQUITY
In the case of equity investment, the startup issues new shares of the company in exchange for funding. The firm becomes a shareholder in the startup, and its percentage ownership is determined by the size of the investment and the valuation of the company. This investment provides the firm with potential returns through any future capital appreciation or dividends issued by the startup.
Convertible Debt
n the case of convertible debt, the startup receives a loan from the firm, which can later be converted into equity at a predetermined rate, typically during the startup's next funding round. Convertible debt is a popular form of investment for early-stage startups, as it allows them to delay the decision of the startup's valuation until a later date when there is more information available on the startup's potential.
POST INVESTMENT
After the investment is made, the firm may have a representative join the startup's board of directors or become an observer to provide guidance and support to the startup. The firm will also work closely with the startup to monitor their progress and provide any additional resources that may be needed to help them succeed.
