EGL Ventures Confidential EGL Ventures IV — Private Placement Memorandum page 1 Section I. Executive Summary EGL is an established venture capital and private equity firm in Atlanta, with a strong track record dating back to 1988. Our principals have invested over $100 million during that time. We plan to continue our successful strategy of investing in information technology, telecommunications, and healthcare companies in the Southeast United States. We believe that we offer an exceptional investment opportunity to institutional and individual investors, and we are seeking $100 million in private capital commitments for EGL Ventures IV. The fund will be managed by three industry veterans: Dr. David Ellis, Stephen Fleming, and Salvatore Massaro. David and Sal have worked together for fifteen years. Stephen has eight years of experience as a successful venture capital general partner, and joined EGL in the last year. Southeastern Focus EGL has been investing in the Southeast for fifteen years. We have built an enviable network of entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers, and are one of the most well-known and respected venture capital firms in the region. The Southeastern United States had a $1.5 trillion economy in 2001. If the region were ranked as a separate country, it would rank fifth in the world—behind the U.S., Japan, Germany, and the U.K., but ahead of France, China, Italy, Canada, Spain, Mexico, and India. Low taxes, a low cost of living, and a wealth of human capital has enabled the Southeast to emerge as a leading region for high technology, high-growth companies. The Southeast’s technology leadership is anchored by the region’s higher education system that includes fourteen of the nation’s top fifty universities, four top-twenty MBA programs and four of the nation’s top twenty engineering schools. This foundation has supported a track record of successful growth companies and technology-based startups dating back to the founding of Scientific-Atlanta in the late 1950s. One of the resources available to these growth companies is the Southeast’s pool of human capital. More Fortune 500 corporations are headquartered in the Southeast than anywhere outside of New York City; over 75% of the Fortune 1000 have operations in Atlanta alone. Experienced executives and managers can be recruited for all levels, from entry-level to CEO. In addition, the Southeast attracts some of the nation’s brightest scientists and engineers to its network of strong research universities and Federal installations. EGL Ventures Confidential page 2 EGL Ventures IV — Private Placement Memorandum All the pieces are in place to build attractive growth companies: technical innovation, experienced entrepreneurs, and all the required service industries—legal, banking, accounting, etc. However, there is not enough local capital in the region to serve the number of prospects available. Money will follow opportunity, and out-of-region investors are pursuing deals in the Southeast. From 2001 to 2003, for example, over 70% of the investors in venture-backed companies came from outside the region. The EGL Advantage All three of us have substantial operational experience, including senior management “CXO” roles in technology businesses and leadership roles in some of the world’s largest corporations. We plan to stick with our strengths—technology-oriented growth companies that have a unique or proprietary advantage. Specifically, we intend to maintain our focus on information technology, telecommunications, and healthcare. We believe we are able to identify, nurture, and harvest strong technology companies with superior management that

  • Smart Financing: the Value of Venture Debt Explained
    TRINITY CAPITAL INVESTMENT SMART FINANCING: THE VALUE OF VENTURE DEBT EXPLAINED Alex Erhart, David Erhart and Vibhor Garg ABSTRACT This paper conveys the value of venture debt to startup companies and their venture capital investors. Venture debt is shown to be a smart financing option that complements venture capital and provides significant value to both common and preferred shareholders in a startup company. The paper utilizes mathematical models based on industry benchmarks for the cash burn J-curve and milestone-based valuation to illustrate the financing needs of a startup company and the impact of equity dilution. The value of venture debt is further explained in three primary examples that demonstrate the ideal situations and timing for debt financing. The paper concludes with two examples that quantify the value of venture debt by calculating the percentage of ownership saved for both entrepreneurs and investors by combining venture debt with venture capital.

    Welcome to Financial Management for Small Business EVERY BUSINESS DECISION IS A FINANCIAL DECISION Do you wish that your business had booming sales, substantial customer demand and rapid growth? Be careful what you wish for. Many small business owners are unprepared for success. If you fail to forecast and prepare for growth, you may be unable to bridge the ever-widening financial gap between the money coming in and the money going out. In other words, by failing to manage your cash flow, good news often turns to bad. At the same time, your business may be suddenly pummeled by a change in the economic climate, or by a string of bad luck. If you’re not prepared with a “what if” financial plan for emergencies, even a temporary downturn can become a business-ending tailspin. YOU CAN DO IT! That’s why every decision you make in your business—whether it’s creating a website, investing in classified ads, or hiring an employee—has a financial impact. And each business decision affects your cash flow— the amount of money that comes in and goes out of your business. We’ll help you with your decision-making with this online primer. Throughout this guide, you’ll find case- studies, examples, and expert guidance on every aspect of small business finances. You’ll see that our goal is the same as yours—to make your business financially successful. FOUR KEYS TO SUCCESS Maximize your income and the speed with which you get paid.
