I’m invested and personally pleased the fundraise was higher than my average. However there is something I don’t understand about the fundraise.
So a group of investors come to you, as ceo, and effectively say, give us 15% of company and we’ll give you 500k (so at current market value). It shows the investors have confidence in your strategy and business plan and that’s a good thing.
However, as ceo, you already have a business plan which didn’t include the need to have 500k right now. Your business plan is something you presumably also have confidence in and if it pans out then the share price will benefit; and when you do need more funding you’ll expect to raise it at a better price than is currently the case; and effectively raise 500k, if you need it, with lower dilution than 15%. So, as ceo, why would you have accepted this offer?
