Navigating The investment Journey:
A Step-By-Step Guide for Indian Startup Investors
Evaluation
At Launch Capital, our founders meticulously assess all incoming investment opportunities using our EXCLUSIVE EVALUATION METHOD. Proposals that don't align with our investment criteria are regrettably declined, with notifications sent to the respective startups.
Due Diligence
Following the initial screening, our founders embark on a comprehensive due diligence journey. This in-depth examination takes into account various factors, including the background, qualifications, and expertise of the startup's promoters. We also delve into aspects like the business model, current financial performance, potential for profitability, scalability, uniqueness, barriers to entry, and the feasibility of achieving a profitable exit within a reasonable timeframe.
Advisor Assessment
The next step involves our investment advisor, who conducts a thorough evaluation of the selected opportunities. They meet with the startup's promoters and engage in a rigorous assessment of multiple parameters. It's at this stage that investment decisions crystallize.
Access for Investors
CURATED AND CRYSTALLIZED deals are then made available to registered investors through Launch Capital's dedicated app, compatible with Android and Apple devices.
Investor Selection
Registered investors gain access to an array of relevant documents and information via a shared platform. Those intrigued by an opportunity can express their interest and specify their capital commitment for each deal. They also have the chance to engage in a video call with the startup's promoters to gain deeper insights.
Confirmation
For investors ready to proceed, a term sheet is prepared and signed by both Launch Capital and the startup. This term sheet is then shared with confirming investors. To solidify their commitment, these investors must counter-sign the document and pledge their respective contributions within seven working days.
Managing Demand
In the event of high demand, allotments will be distributed proportionally among investors. Conversely, if the response falls short, the deal may be declined, unless an investor is willing to bridge the gap or the startup enterprise accepts a lower subscription.
Investment Framework
Investor contributions are managed collectively through Launch Capital, with individual investors receiving units corresponding to shares in the startup enterprise. However, investors committing Rs. 25 lakhs or more in a single startup enterprise have the option to directly join the startup's Cap Table.
Addressing Conflicts of Interest
Transparency is key at Launch Capital. Any investor with a conflict of interest regarding a potential investment is expected to disclose it upfront. If necessary, the investor must refrain from participating in the deal.
Investor Responsibilities
In line with our commitment to integrity and collaboration, we expect all investors to act in a manner that upholds the interests of Launch Capital and fellow participants. It's our collective effort that fuels our success.
