I. Introducción al Venture Capital
An angel investor is an individual who invest his own capital in startups or early stage companies in exchange for ownership. The
typical angel investor is an experienced professional with a particular industry expertise and has the capacity to invest (and lose) 5%
to 20% of wealth in startups. The investor also has an intrinsic entrepreneurial spirit and desires to support the companies he invests
in. Hence, an angel investor more than just injecting cash in a company is expected to provide smart capital and support the startup
with his expertise, experience and contacts.

Understanding the costs
Los VCs calculan un rango de cifras que consideran diferentes grados de éxito operativo y diferentes múltiplos de salida usando el EBITDA. El VC generalmente toma el
EBITDA del año de salida proyectado por el emprendedor y asume que este es el mejor escenario operativo, luego multiplica este valor de EBITDA por otros porcentajes
para producir un rango de posible rendimiento de EBITDA. El VC también considera un rango de posibles múltiplos de EBITDA de año de salida basados en compañías
comparables, pero descontados para reflejar la falta de liquidez de la inversión de VC. Las ganancias se calculan luego en ambos rangos, y generalmente se calculan para
al menos dos años de salida posibles.
65
Multiples Valuation Method
What is it?
The denominator usually is either a stock or a flow. A stock is measured at a single point in time (e.g. book value), while a flow is measured over a
period of time (e.g. EBITDA).
Historical valuation multiples are usually calculated over the last twelve month (LTM) period. To calculate the LTM EBITDA, for example, add the
EBITDA from the most recent stub period to the latest full-year EBITDA, and subtract the EBITDA from the corresponding stub period last year.
A company reported an EBIT of $100 for the fiscal year ending 12/31/16. The company's latest Board Meeting reported an EBIT of $80 for the nine
months ended 9/30/17 and $70 for the nine months ended 9/30/16. What is the company's LTM EBIT?
LTM EBIT = $100 + $80 − $70 = $110.
Adjust the denominator to exclude the effects of extraordinary and non-recurring items such as restructuring charges, one-time gains/losses,
accounting changes, legal settlements, discontinued operations, and asset impairment charges. Also, if noncontrolling interest is excluded from the
calculation of EV, the portion of EBITDA and EBIT attributable to the noncontrolling interest should also be excluded from the denominator.
Multiples Valuation Method
Comparable company assessment
Comparable companies analysis has application in M&A advisory, fairness opinions, restructuring, IPOs
and follow-on offerings, and share repurchases. Consider an IPO of a private company that does not
have a public market valuation. To determine how public markets might value the company, an
investment banker will establish the comparables universe, which may consist or one or more peer
groups. He or she will use the operating metrics and valuation multiples of the public comparables to
determine an appropriate valuation multiple for the private company.
Multiples will generally go down over time since the denominator usually increases from one year to the next,
unless business is declining.
Revenues of healthy companies generally grow over time. When you see negative revenue growth, you should
investigate the reason.
Healthy companies usually improve their margins over time. When you observe strong year-over-
year revenue growth concurrent with margins that decline from one year to the next, you should check that your margins are
calculated properly and that their computational inputs are correct.
When the denominator is very small relative to the numerator, extremely large multiples can result. Such might be the
case when calculating the P/E multiple of a nascent high-tech company with little earnings but high growth and lots of potential.
When an output value is very large relative to the peer group, try to determine the reason, mark the multiple as "NM" (not
material) in your spreadsheet, and exclude the outlier from the calculation of summary statistics.

Valuación DCF
¿Por qué valuar una empresa?
•
DCF Valuation
Overview
Representa el valor presente neto (VPN) de los flujos de efectivo proyectados disponibles para todos los proveedores de capital, neto del efectivo
que se necesita invertir para generar el crecimiento proyectado. El concepto de valuación de DCF se basa en el principio de que el valor de un
negocio o activo se basa intrínsecamente en su capacidad para generar flujos de efectivo para los proveedores de capital. En ese sentido, el DCF se
basa más en las expectativas fundamentales del negocio que en los factores del mercado público o los precedentes históricos, y es un enfoque más
teórico que se basa en numerosas suposiciones. Un análisis de DCF arroja el valor total de una empresa (EV), que incluye deuda y capital.
• Crecimiento en las ventas fuera del comportamiento • CAPEX y Capital de Trabajo incosistente con el
histórico y las expectativas del futuro cercano potencial de crecimiento de la empresa
• Márgenes no coinciden con el modelo de negocios • Caja negativa
• Proyectar beneficios fiscales que no son sostenibles
• Proyectar ingresos o egresos que fueron
extraordinarios en periodos anteriores

# Item Description
assessment
1 Market potential Combined value of second-hand car market in top 9 urban areas in LatAm is ~$60Bn in 2019 and expected to gr ow~2% CAGR by 2025
2 Competition Very fragmented market, with largest player owning < 1% m.s. in MX. There is room to consolidate but that also means though competition
2 Value proposition Strong value proposition but there is no very robust barrier impeding competition from replicating the model
2 Scalability Lean structure and high-rotation vehicles can help scale. However, building a large catalog requires important working capital
3 Partnerships BBVA and Mapfre partnerships brings good value to Kavak’s customers
3 Ancillary revenues High potential of ancillary revenues to be generated from financing and insurance options
4 Profitability Kavak’s EBIDTA% is already high and growing, it is mainly driven by improved pricing on both sides
4 Cash flows Kavak will reach positive cash flows by 2020 thanks to an improved working capital management
5 Founders experience The three founders all have a strong track record of building teams and businesses in LatAm (e.g. Linio) but there is no tech specialist in the
and complementarity cofounders team
5 Ownership 30% stake with a $35M pre-money valuation + seed round likely means the co-founders might lack equity incentives in the end
6 Valuation The $35M pre-money valuation at which are looking to raise funds is attractive in the light of the valuation forecasted
Risks Exit scenarios
• High exposure to market and economic crisis • IPOs are likely: Uxin’s 2018 IPO (car e-commerce platform in China), was a success and so
• Larger players enter the LatAm market with similar solutions was USA’s Carvana, another car e-commmerce, in 2017
• Fragmented market also means though competition • Selling to a competitor: since its IPO, Carvana has bought two competitors in the US
CONCLUSIONS
• I recommend that XXX invests in Kavak’s next round, at the proposed $35 pre-money valuation
• This high growth company would be a good fit within XXX portfolio
• Given DC’s investment theory, the ticket should be in the $1-10M bracket and it would be reasonable to ask for a board seat in exchange

Mechanics of PEVC Funds: the J-Curve Effect
• Negative flows are a characteristic of PEVC funds in early years, resulting from capital calls, management
fees and investments.
• As the PEVC generates value to its portfolio, it ultimately translates in more money generated for each
potential exit; flows reach breakeven and then turn positive as investments are exited.

≥ NAV is calculated by adding the value of all of the investments in the fund and
dividing by the number of shares of the fund that are outstanding. NAV
calculations are required for all mutual funds (or open-end funds) and closed-
end funds. The price per share of a closed-end fund will trade at either a
premium or a discount to the NAV of that fund, based on market demand.
Closed-end funds generally trade at a discount to NAV.
