We went through a theoretical company's story while analyzing how the cap table evolved through various rounds of funding. Make sure to watch Parts 1 through 3 if you want to get a grip on that.
But if you are only in for the good stuff, that's OK. This video will analyze a few exit scenarios for that theoretical company and how much money everyone does, or does not make.

BTW, a lot of the topics covered here were way beyond my expertise, so Steve Barsh from @DreamItVentures will be joining us to elaborate further on some key aspects of how this transaction works.

This is a fantastic breakdown of how this plays out for founders, investors, and team members with real numbers! Excellent video! 👏

[@Mhe620GO1]

Does Lacoste sponsor you yet? They should consider an endorsement

[@jorgerangel2390]

this is the type of content I subscribed for

[@unmiss-com]

It depends as usual. Don't try to create something for selling. Build something that shares value as maximum as possible.

[@stevebarsh7727]

Another great video @caya @slidebean! And thanks for the shoutouts. Always enjoy our collabs!

As always, yours is well-presented content. Happy New Year from Kenya my friend.

In my opinion, investors are contemporary sharecroppers. I’d avoid them as much as you can, retain as much equity as you can, and start reducing overhead as you scale. The need for investors is a red herring; they’re looking to profit off you. Unless you’re building something where you need a lot of capital from the getgo, I’d consider other options. Thanks for the video, and Love your channel 🙏

[@randomcomment7746]

Exactly. Well at some point you’ll need a investment to grow but it’ll be better to focus on increasing the valuation as much as you can before getting the first investor , to make sure that the founder retain more equity

[@jojosthenewblack]

@@randomcomment7746 i self funded my development, and use the profits to self fund my other ventures. You definitely do not need investors. You need capital. Don’t let Wall Street conflate the two. Figure out the cheapest way to develop your product without ever compromising on quality. Basically, a SaaS is a function that you charge people for. It’s just some lines of code. Build it, and then maintain it appropriately. If you were building a building, you wouldn’t hire the construction workers to hang around once construction’s been completed. Construction workers, for the most part, should only be used if you’re implementing true innovation. Hopefully, you’ve got creative enough architects to allow for that. I find it best to hire great developers on contract, that way you only pay what you need for. I have other ways of avoiding cost, but this is sincerely the most important advice I can give.

10:52 why do you didnt subtract the price of the shares to the acquisition price for the series A funding?

[@willissudweeks1050]

The whole process of all that seems like it’s more stress than it’s worth.

[@WakeUpSaif]

It will be great if you can make a video about types of shares: like equity shares, preference shares. What do investors want?

[@bradymeyer1106]

A quick note for the production team: there were was some unsual autofocusing happening around the 3:00 mark. Maybe manually focusing could correct that? It seems like the quality has grealty improved otherwise in the past few videos. I've loved following the series and can't wait to see what's up next on the channel!

[@jacksimba]

also. sumn needs to be done about how big his head be looking. i think the hands are too close when he moved them which makes him look ~off~

Lacoste is pretty popular between startup founders. Why?

[@nyakarundi]

When it comes to acquisition, isn't there companies that help find buyers in the tech space?

[@Qornv]

Why did you not put (IV) in the title ? I thought there was no 4th part after watching the leading-up videos

[@LennyYT]

Are there startups building solely on top of no code apps winning?

[@tegaogheneovo5881]

Thank you for this caya ..ama contact you when done coding. Superstarz...gang gang gang

[@dimonbonbon]

Couldn't find the fourth part because it says nothing in the title

[@tejo508]

what about cosmetic companies?

[@dimonbonbon]

thanks

[@ColofulThought]

Looks like the early stage “employees” that aren’t called “founders” get screwed per usual. With out employees all you have is an idea.

[@krisssssss1390]

Nice videos

[@hometechkh]

I wished to watch your VDO collaboration with Garry Tan.

[@oakcakaya]

Most start ups make people drink the coolaid for the hope that company will sell and the stock options of private company will turn into the share price of public company 😂😂😂. No it doesn’t work like that. It works exactly how he breaks it down into this video! Don’t fall for stock options on start ups. Negotiate the highest salary possible ! Get the money now! Don’t work for Hope! Get your money and invest in stocks yourselves
