Abstract
Three entrepreneurs have founded a small software and hardware business. Expansion plans require a further injection of capital, which the team will have to raise externally. The case focuses on the differing perspectives of the managers, the banker and a potential venture capital investor. How do their motivations and risk-reward stances differ? How can these different positions be accommodated by a suitable deal structure?
