Kansaltancy Ventures - Funding from Angel investors & Venture Capitals
I am a Venture Advisor to Loyal VC, and we have made over 300 investments in over 50 countries!
Startups need
funding, so they come to us, and we arrange funding for them from Angel
investors, Venture Capital and family offices. We have relationships with more
than 1000 global investors from India, Singapore, Dubai, US and the UK. Apart
from that, companies need strategic services like Mergers & Acquisitions so
we help with that as well. The second aspect that startups and growth-stage
companies need is Business-KnowHow, so we provide them with Global Best
practices. The third thing they need is Business relationships which are needed
on the business side as well as the balance sheet side, and we provide them
with that as well!
Kansaltancy Ventures
Kansaltancy Ventures is a boutique investment bank. We are a growth-stage mid-size firm. We offer a host of Consulting Services, we are a Knowledge-driven firm, and we are in a knowledge driven economy. All of the operations of Kansaltancy Ventures, be it Funding, Mentoring, Documentation, Financial services, Strategic services, have a robust knowledge base behind them. The challenge in being a boutique consulting firm is that at an early stage, you have to manage with limited resources and you need to have the best people in the team because the team size is small, so the commitment levels in the team need to be very high; the motivation levels in the team need to be very high. We are very lucky that our teams are very committed, and our Business development team, Social media team, our Execution team, be it on the documentation side as well as the financial model side, and most of all, the Venture Capital team, are all very strong teams with good representation of women. It's a very young team and Kansaltancy Ventures is today the Number 1 Investment Bank in the field of Venture Capital and has done exemplary work over the last 8 years!
On the issues faced by us from our Clients – the Founders of Startups and Growth-stage companies – with the hype and hysteria surrounding Startup funding, the valuation expectations of the Founders are always sky high, and sometimes it becomes a challenge to match them with Investors view, which is always more tempered and grounded in fundamentals and the Financial Model. Secondly, many Startups are stingy and penny-wise, pound foolish – they don’t invest in creating must-needed collaterals for Funding like Pitch Deck, Financial Model and Business Valuation and their Funding suffers in the process. Our Teams handhold such Startups by making them understand the importance of creating these collaterals, and then we go about creating them.
Kansaltancy Ventures for startups & founders
Most of the countries have adopted GDP
as the growth metric - Gross Domestic Product - but Bhutan, a tiny
Himalayan country, has adopted Gross Happiness Product! It’s an
inspiration for Kansaltancy Ventures - for us, our growth metric is the number
of satisfied customers we have achieved year over year. Kansaltancy Ventures
works in such a way that it satisfies its clients fully. We first speak to the
investors to gauge the investability of the company, then we sign up the
clients. Then we start creating the documentation, which is the Pitch deck,
Financial model and Valuation of the company. Post that, we help with Unit
Economics, Term sheet clauses, how to present MIS, Due Diligence documents
required, and the Shareholders agreement. We work in such a fashion that each
client of ours is fully investor ready and meets all compliance requirements
before we start approaching any investor. Kansaltancy Ventures primary growth
metric is the happiness and satisfaction of each and every Company and Founder
we come in contact with; each Startup or a Growth stage company we mentor and
assist in the best possible manner.
Advice for startups
My advice to Startups that want to grow fast is to always separate the process of fundraising from the process of growing your business - When times are good, stack up more on the funds you raise because you are getting them at a better evaluation and at a low cost. When times are bad, because you have raised more in good times, you will be able to manage the bad times better. The second piece of advice is to always know the why – Why you are in a particular business? Be very sure of what your calling is in life. One more piece of advice is to always try to solve the fundamental problems faced by human beings. The last piece of advice is to align yourself with the economy, and the Global conditions and always maintain a good culture in your company so that the best talent stays with you, believes in your vision, which would go a long way in achieving all the aims of your company.
Venture
Capital & Private Equity - India's new alternate asset class
Venture Capital (VC) means to invest money of someone else in
unlisted, private companies and, after some time, exit that investment and make
a return, making a good return for the investor and for the Fund Managers
sitting in the Venture Capital Fund. Typically, these investments are carried
out in companies that are in new-age growth areas, are scalable, and can
potentially generate a huge return on investment for the Fund managers. Private
Equity (PE) means investing in the late stages of a business, typically in
amounts of more than 50 million dollars and going as high as more than 500
million dollars. VC/PE has emerged as the preferred asset class because of its
potential to generate outsized returns. People have choices - whether to invest
in Stock markets, Real estate, commodities, cryptocurrency, or VC/PE. If you
look at the returns generated by VC and PE over the last 30+ years, then the kind
of returns that have been generated by the best performing Funds are huge as
compared to the returns generated in other asset classes. Hence, Venture
capital and Private equity have emerged as India's new alternate asset classes,
and in 2022, there will be more than 107 unicorns in India, with more than 40
being created in 2022 alone!
Changes in VC funding
COVID impacted a huge number of sectors. Most of the sectors were locked down, and contactless services were advocated by Governments - which meant that a lot of businesses moved online and the offline part of the business had to be temporarily shut down. Education was impacted in a major way, with classes being held online as an example. COVID also impacted the healthcare sector in a major way, with companies coming out with possible solutions to COVID until the vaccines themselves were developed and administered across populations. Travel was impacted, which means that travel companies were also impacted in a major way. People started spending more time online. Another area that got impacted was the workplace. Employees started working from home, and companies started realising that a lot of work and efficiencies can be achieved by Work-from-Home home with the use of simple technologies available off the shelf. With vaccines having been administered to almost all the population, things have shifted as compared to pre-Covid, and a lot of technologies are here to stay. The hybrid workplace is here to stay, and similarly, many aspects of businesses have changed forever.
Venture Capital changed in a way that it chased
technology companies even more, with technology having marched right inside
people’s homes. Businesses had to pivot to new business models, and that meant
requiring even more Venture Capital. VC firms also, started keeping more money
aside for follow-on rounds of their investee companies.
