Next Program Topic:The VC´s Term Sheet Math Kent Johnson, Managing Director, Alexander Hutton Venture Partners James Thompson, Principal The VenLogic team will be joined by local VCs Kent Johnson and James Thompson. In Part I, the group will engage in several entrepreneur based focusing exercises. One of the entrepreneur teams will be selected for a special "real-time exercise." Kent and James will walk us through their ìterm sheet mathî logic. In Kent's words, "to show how we build a cap table from materials we receive from a company, to put it in a format that everyone can understand. This is a format that we always use in looking at companies." In Part II, Kent will share with us "what I learned as a VC riding up the dot-com boom and then riding down the dot-com bust and how it has changed my thinking about VC investing." Kent and James will then walk us through an example of how to compute the payouts on a liquidity event in a cap structure that is fairly complex with multiple rounds of funding, liquidation preferences, management carve outs, participating preferred. etc. They will use a real life example from one of their portfolio companies. This is sure to be another great program with Kent Johnson, a seasoned Venture Capitalist and benefactor to the Seattle University Entrepreneurship Center.

For program overview, see our Fall Newsletter Presented by: Nov. 4, 2003 Program "SBIR Funding Sources for Technology Projects" Tab Wilkins, Washington Technology Center "If your company is developing products or processes using technology, then your time to market, and hence your financing needs may be greater than for many other types of firms. You may need to locate and work with outside sources of funding. This program is aimed at helping you understand what some of your options are, and how you might go about pursuing them. Venture Capitalist's and Angel Investors are typically interested rates of return that allow them to obtain significant increases in their investments within a 5 year timeframe. Government related funding is more interested in job and business development as opposed to their own direct return. However in both situations, the case has to be made clear to the potential funder as to how their return will be achieved. The goal of the session is to help people who are working with technology-related products, either those who are developing technology products, or who are using technology as an enabler (i.e. simulated surgery for example) refine their approach to business development. The participants will have an opportunity to evaluate their funding options among a variety of sources depending upon their business goals and plan. Expert Feedback EXPERT VENTURE ANALYST: Forrester Research "Equity marketing is a significant challenge to even the seasoned CEO of a private technology business requiring venture funding. We're pursuing joint venture discussions with VenLogic to allow their consulting expertise to be melded with our intimate knowledge of the technology marketplace to enable CEO's with the tools, strategy and knowledge to secure venture funding both faster and more effective." "What I always liked about your process from the first time we met is the human interaction of it. To me that is where the value is. The DVD got me hooked. When it stopped, I felt like I felt at the end of the second Matrix movie. I wanted to see the rest of it. It's really good. That's how I felt."
