    Understanding stock, preferred stock, options, convertible notes, angel investing, venture capital, and other fundraising instruments can be truly overwhelming.
    If you are an early-stage startup company in the tech space, the best way to raise capital is with a convertible note or a similar instrument. However, to understand how those work, we first need to understand how stock works.

      unless I misunderstood this, I think there's a mistake at 12:00. I believe Gus should be 75,000 shares while Madigral would then be 21,500 shares. Great content though! Learned a lot here.

    I’m a VC/IPO/M&A lawyer and was looking for some easy videos to explain startups, VC funding, etc. to my 18 year old daughter who is beginning business program at college. This video and this entire series is excellent. I also used to teach this stuff at MBA/Law school and explaining these things in a concise and easily understandable way is not all that easy. Great job to the Slidebean guys. And yes, as you mentioned in another video, what you have done with your company and technology is amazing even if you did not displace PowerPoint, etc. Congrats on your success and on eventually figuring who you really are and what your market is. Sadly, most tech entrepreneurs never make it that far.

  • @kafeleboothe
    @kafeleboothe Před 4 lety +3

    This is great! Though your math at 10:56 is off:
    525k/4MM is 13.125% -- but assigning Gus 131.25k shares assumes there was 1MM shares to divy up, but they would've issued new stock for Gus. So he would've had 13.125% of the *new* total (incl. issued), so 151k shares, bringing the total to 1.151MM shares. This is a classic markup/margin calc error, a simple mistake (I didn't touch Madrigals calc, but I'm sure the above would change her numbers as well).
