Definition
Exit value target is the value the startup will be sold in the future.
Cost of capital is a ratio showing how risky is the company. For a SME, the ratio is normally around 4-5%. For a startup, it usually is between 50-80%
Holding period is the period the VC is in the equity before the company is sold.
Exit present value is the current value of the startup after the investment.
VCs investments is the total amount that the startup is seeking and that the VCs are investing.
VCs required equity is the amount of equity the VCs will hold after the investment.
Implied pre-money valuation is the value of the company before the investment of the VCs.
