So What? Who Cares? Why You?

Creating Value - A VC Perspective

Here's another way to look at how technology companies create value over time.  It's from Pete Low of Axis Capital. It's a slide from a presentation he gave at a CFO function about the nuances of negotiating, determining, and understanding valuation.  I like models bound by axes like this.  No doubt there's more to be said about the inflection points, so if you have comments, post them here and we'll twist Pete's arm to sound in.

Thanks Pete!

 

Technology Life Cycle

Debi Rosati of RosatiNet, a venture catalyst firm, (www.rosatinet.com) and I are collaborating on how early stage technology companies create value through their growth stages.  As a starting point, we've created the growth stage model posted below.  We'd be curious to hear what you think. Comments welcome!
