Innovation Investment Fund Program (IIF) (Round Three) - Frequently Asked Questions

. The calculation to measure a fund's underperformance will only be utilised after year three of

a fund's life. Provisions relating to underperformance will be included in a fund's governing

documents and will be subject to consideration by the Program Delegate.
How long do successful Fund Managers have to make investments?

A. A licensed fund will have five years after the granting of a licence to make new investments.

    Investment after that time must only be follow-on investments unless approval is granted by

    the Program Delegate under specific circumstances. The Program Delegate's decision will be

    subject to advice from the IR&D Board.
What is the level of carry for current funds established under the IIF Program?

A. Current funds take 20 per cent carry from the 90 per cent profit allocated to private

investors. As with previous rounds, this will be negotiable between the fund manager and

private investors for the current round of the program.
Can a parallel fund be set up to invest along side a fund established under the IIF

    Program Round Three?

A. Yes. Applicants should ensure that parallel funds have adequate resources to ensure

    operational requirements are met. As well, appropriate conflict of interest provisions would

    need to be put in place between the funds.
Funds established under the IIF Program will be managed by private sector fund managers.

    Each fund manager will be licensed by the Australian Government and will be subject to

    conditions regarding investment activities and fund operations specified in licence agreements

    and associated investor documents. Fund managers will be responsible for making

    investment decisions and will invest in companies throughout Australia.

VentureBeat » What motivates an investor to say “yes”

Tags: funding, pitch, venture on 2007-09-11 -All Annotations (0) -About

more fromventurebeat.com

Venture investments by their very nature require a leap of faith (none more than ours) that only comes when an investor becomes aspirational – when he or she wants the investment to make sense (even though statistically deals never do make sense).
three things come together for the investor
They personally believe in the entrepreneur
they have a sense (and it’s often just a gut feeling) that the idea could be very big
have a personal interest or background in the industry that gives them a leg up the diligence curve.
So my advice, if you’re an entrepreneur trying to raise money, is focus on these three levers. If you’re not the evangelist, ‘people person’ type, find someone who is and make them your front person.
convincingly convey a sense that yours is a big idea then go looking for investors who love the stuff you do.
Avoid the trap of pitching anyone who will listen. It’s exhausting and demoralizing.
carefully from among those with an expressed affinity for your sector – they’ll be the ones with a tendency towards the aspirational.

Early Stage VC Investing

Tags: early stage, funding, vc on 2007-05-15 -All Annotations (0) -About

more fromwww.pehub.com

Early-stage investors are moving down the road and investing more and more of their funds in later-stage companies.
In 1996, 42% of all venture dollars were invested in Series A. Ten years later, that figure is down to 20%. Meanwhile, the percentage of money invested in Series B or later has risen from 56% in 1996 to 73% in 2006 (note that seven percent of capital deployed in the first half of 2006 went to restart financings – another post in itself but also a clear sign that the aftermath of the bubble is still with us). Later-stage investments alone have risen over the last 10 years from 33% of venture dollars invested to 49%.
time-to-exit has lengthened considerably over the past decade, and not everyone has the ability to be patient and wait for the liquidity event to occur.
given the large size of many venture funds, it’s just not a viable model for them to invest $2 million in a first-round financing and commit 10-15% or more of a partner’s time working with that company over the five-to-seven years it may take to reach a liquidity event.
The average acquisition price is $92M.
