www.euronews.com Business planet is in Copenhagen to look at venture capital. An alternative to more traditional modes of financing, venture capital funds help companies through the critical start up stages of business. In Denmark, for example, Fluxome, has benefited through venture capital and from European funds. It is now a key player in its field. Developing nutritional supplements on the nutraceuticals market requires huge investments. Fluxome, based in the suburbs of Copenhagen has been up and running since 2002. It received six million euros in its first wave of venture capital in 2006. This funding paved the way for it to bring products to market three years later. Venture capital is usually given to innovative SMEs (small and medium sized firms) in the early stages of development but is also helps business' to expand. Fluxome has received 23 million euros in venture capital over the last ten years. A cash injection which has enabled it to develop business internationally. Its first product is currently being evaluated in the US by 30 of the country's largest nutritional supplement companies. Jarne Elleholm, Chairman of Fluxome explains how venture capital has benefited Fluxome: "So you need money, as well as the good idea, to bring it all the way through. Without that they would not have been able to create a company which today has proven itself by launching its first product, has several more in the pipe-line, has 24 employees, and is selling.

For entrepreneurs who want to learn about how to work with investment banks, how to position yourself to be acquired and what the IPO markets look like this is the episode to watch. Michael is a very accomplished corporate executive in his own right having run Sega Gameworks and helped IPO EuroDisney as well as having been on the founding team of DreamWorks SKG (where he helped them raise their first $900 million in equity). Shame they didn't like his suggested name for the company: DreamWorks SKG-MM We discussed: 1. The Montgomery Conference: one of the top technology events of the annual calendar in the United States and held every March. The importance of the conference is that it assembles most of the top privately held early-to-mid-stage technology companies in the country (and some globally) as well as most VC's, growth equity funds and corporate development departments from large industry players looking at technology acquisitions.

This week we have Kelly Hwang, Associate at GRP. For more information, show notes, and an upcoming schedule, go to www.thisweekin.com. Mark Suster hosts This Week in Venture Capital. The following is from Mark Suster's post on www.bothsidesofthetable.com How VC's Calculate Valuation: We walked through a standard deal where you raise $1 million at a $3 million pre-money valuation leading to a $4 million post money valuation. The math works out that the investor owns 25% of the company post deal ($1 million invested / $4 million valuation) and assuming 1 million shares, each share would be valued at $3 / share ($3000000 pre-money / 1 million shares = $3 / share). Investors own 25%, the founders own 75%. NOTE: In the video I talked about how VC's and entrepreneurs decide the total number of shares at the first major funding round and why it's often a high number. But this example above is all entrepreneur math, not the VC's. The VC assumes you'll have an option pool. That's normal. You'll need to hire and retain talen to grow your company. Those options need to come from somewhere. The more senior members you have (say you already have a CEO, CTO, VP marketing, VP Biz Dev, VP Products) then the less options you'll need and vice versa. Industry standard post your first round of funding will be 15-20%. I say "post" funding because you'll need more than this amount pre-funding to get to this number after funding. We walk through this in the video. To view the more detailed <b>...</b>

www.democracynow.org - American "vulture" investors, including a top funder of the Republican Party, have demanded that African nations pay over half a billion dollars for old debts -- for which the investors paid only a few million. One New York vulture speculator, Peter Grossman of FG Capital Management, is demanding $100 million from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Is he collecting a legitimate debt from the Congo — or is the vulture's claim based on a stolen security? Greg Palast reports from the Congo, Bosnia and New York in the joint investigation by the BBC, the Guardian and Democracy Now!

CONTINUE WATCHING: ur1.ca TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: www.corbettreport.com In-Q-Tel was formed by the CIA in 1999 as a private, not-for-profit venture capital firm with the specific task of delivering technology to America's intelligence community. Publicly, In-Q-Tel markets itself as an innovative way to leverage the power of the private sector by identifying key emerging technologies and providing companies with the funding to bring those technologies to market. In reality, however, what In-Q-Tel represents is a dangerous blurring of the lines between the public and private sectors in a way that makes it difficult to tell where the American intelligence community ends and the IT sector begins. In-Q-Tel has generated a number of stories since its inception based on what can only be described as the "creepiness" factor of its investments in overtly Orwellian technologies. This is our EyeOpener Report by James Corbett presenting documented facts and cases on the CIA's privately owned venture capital firm In-Q-Tel, in which well-connected board members drawn from the private sector profit from the investments made with CIA funds that come from the taxpayer.

[Recorded: September 21, 2011] After our July screening of SOMETHING VENTURED, which chronicles the founding of the venture capital industry in Silicon Valley, we convened a panel to discuss the VC model of today and tomorrow. Does venture investing need to evolve to keep fueling innovation in the Valley and around the world? What are the implications of the latest round of huge US IPOs of social media and internet companies? Is history repeating itself with another bubble forming, or is this the new reality of a connected globe with multiple billions of potential users? Our panel will feature two generations of venture investors giving their views on these and other questions: Chairman and Co-founder of New Enterprise Associates (NEA), VC legend Dick Kramlich, and Accel Partners next generation VC leader, Theresia Gouw Ranzetta. Richard Waters, San Francisco Bureau Chief for the Financial Times, moderated the conversation. We are proud to be co-hosting this event with the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). The NVCA empowers its members and the entrepreneurs they fund by advocating for policies that encourage innovation and reward long-term investment. As the venture community's preeminent trade association, NVCA serves as the definitive resource for venture capital data and unites its 400 plus members through a full range of professional services.
