Introduction
The process of building new companies is a Naviti Management specialty, regarding
capital formation, company corporate governance and putting in place the building
blocks of success within the framework and origin design of the company.
The activities provided by Naviti Management are extensive and complete, where the
historical basis of management accomplishments and lessons earned over the decades
is placed with care into the actions of all involved, to create and foster new company
success.
There are largely three specific areas of activity employed to initiate the processes
described above which Naviti Management must work through before any funds are
actually collected.
There are many details that have to be located, researched, thought of and discussed
before any actual initiation of funding activities can begin. The thought process about
the founder’s initial interests are key planning issues along with their exit strategies for
design of the Cap Table and the Ask and Raise.
Other issues that must be thought of include what they have done prior to date toward
the company, investigation of capacity building on the part of founders, historical
understanding of professional competence toward the business concept, legal
apparatus in place and other very important details are highly impacting on how the
move forward is taken and to what extent is necessary to formulate the corporate
planning and funding processes required to be successful and reach the goals of the
founding individual or individuals.
The creation and formulation of the initial processes of the documentation required, the
activation of various procedures and access to specific activities is important, all of
which is relevant to the execution of the funding process, which itself is based on the
corporate structure and governance and capabilities of the company. Valuation is critical
in this element, for most early stage companies are not possessing any current revenue
or positive cash flow, and the valuation is very much an important element of how much
money can be raised at what price and what percentage of the company.
What is important here is that everything is layered for the future, for all founders and
company members all want success and work toward the growth of their business and
with that, the planning stages for funding must be well thought out, through the process
3
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
of building the cap table, the methodologies of the funding itself, the management of the
equity and debt process itself, where balance between wants and needs is kept, so that
future rounds and fund requirements are planned for and early rounds do not disrupt the
greater yield possible from secondary and other rounds. There are many ways to build
blockades on future success by limiting the funding opportunities of the company in the
future by actions taken early in the process.
Share pricing, share authorization and issuance are very key to how well a share
(private or private) is perceived by the investment ecosystem. For example, first in
money needs to see total upside and opportunity to “score big” for they are the investors
taking the largest risk and as such, planning for that level of investor is very key, but
also it is critical to not go overboard, where future investors are inhibited from investing
due to a corporate structure that limits future growth, valuation, etc.
Additional work that is done right before at the activation of the process is a website and
possible product or service mock ups, if the real product or service is not yet available.
The website must be prepared in such a way that it acts as a portal, to help the
company gain as much information and understanding about the investors as do the
investors want about the company, the backers, the founders and the team managing it.
This activity is the actual opening and also closing of the investment procurement
process, which is totally driven toward contacting known and unknown investors and
investment groups that have expressed interest in likeminded investment activities as
the program at hand. Things that have to be thought of and managed are:
o Very key element for companies live and work with their investors very
closely and if the relationship is not a solid proactive engagement between
all the involved parties, obviously this is not the best situation for the
founders nor the investors or management. Proper planning on investor
type must be done as well as background on the investors so the
company partners with the right type of investor or investor group.
- The type of investments involved that are best for the company

synergistic support as in synergistic partners providing a product or a
service in lieu of payment in exchange for equity or any other incentives.
o The process to work with investors is often very lengthy and the burden of
proof on the worthiness of the investors interest in investing in the
company is all on the team managing the investment and the incentives
for the investor to invest
o Risk mitigation is very important to plan for, especially with early stage
companies for there is no current revenue generation or track record to
use to help offset investor hesitation or trust the project will earn the profit
margins and asset growth as most investors look for in an investment
o This is usually including all the partners (Tech and Investment) for Naviti,
designated support staff and also those persons with the client Company
that are chosen to represent the Company in these discussions.

The Founding Team Members
Top 10 reasons why an investor should invest and five reasons they
should not
o Naviti will present as much due diligence type of thought process into the
overall activity, to ensure the strong value of the business model, use
cases and programs used to deliver the product or service. This helps all
team members better understand the true value add proposition, the
ability to execute and be successful. If the business cannot provide proper
KPIs and metrics, it would be very difficult to gain secondary round capital.
This step also helps all involved to better understand if the opportunity is
either a lifestyle company producing some cashflow or if it has real
potential where it is able to produce real working assets, including a
sustainable cash flow.
o This is a tool the team will use to both evaluate any current Cap Tables
and also to help build or develop the revised Cap Table that will be used
for the offering

o Early stage non-revenue producing companies have certain leeway
regarding valuation assessment
Pitch deck slide order Selection – The Pitch deck order selection is
pertinent to the type of investor audience being targeted.
o There are proven methods that have stood the test of time on how the
pitch deck was put together and in what sequence the story is told.
o Seasoned investors have one thing in common and that no time. The pitch
deck that tells the story better, faster, quicker and with greater validity
stands to not only be read again, but also given to others to read.

Required Documents and Activities coordination and
review.
Primarily from the founders of the Company to
develop and or manage the process of capital
formation, setup of corporate governance and
manage effectively.
Articles of Incorporation
o Important part of the process for this document drives the governance of
the company through the articles themselves, the rules and regulations
they stipulate and the company will need to produce several resolutions
and potential changes to the Articles.
o This is for the same purpose as above, but the Bylaws are more
organizational operations rather than state charter rules and regulations.

Business Plan
o The business plan is often times a live document and from the investment
deck forward, the business plan is a highly detailed and articulated
document which provides A to Z explanation of the company. Is generally
between 25 to 30 pages plus the financial pages (three year proforma).
Shareholder Agreement

required to be able to comply with the SEC’s classification of accredited
12
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
investors. There is the exception in some cases where companies may
sell shares to sophisticated investors that are not accredited investors.
When that is the case, the number of non-accredited investors is usually
34 per funding raise.
Form D
o The Form D is required by the SEC (in many cases, the SEC refrains from
regulation on this matter but it is safe to make sure the Form D is filed,
which is required within 15 days of the first investment into the company.
Once the Form D is filed, that information is available to the public via the
SEC Edgar database.
o These must be filed with the state that investors originate from, where
state law requires it. Not all states require this action however most states
have their own securities laws.
o Naviti has in the past issued the NDA but it is best that it is done in the
company’s name, accounts for non-circumnavigation and is mutual for
both the Company and the Investor.

company’s economic performance by assessing and analyzing strategic goals, current
metrics, short, mid and long-term objectives, identifying potential pitfalls and barriers to
improvement, and always basing output on best-practices, executing within strategic
goals and planning and development.
Change Management
Change is difficult, especially within an organization with longevity and success where
processes and procedures have been in place for longer periods of time. Ecosystem and
environmental changes such as technologies, market conditions, customer demands
and expectations, competition, regulation and policy as well as supply costs amongst
15
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
many issues, all can cause strong currents of impact on an organization and its greatest
resource, its people. Communications is key, both external and internal, creating
balance throughout the organization and its stakeholders.
The push for disruptive technology over the past decade has created great changes in
the way an organization reacts and supports its customers, disrupts how clients and
customer interface and purchase products and services, especially with social media
leading the way through the online user experience.
Crisis management
Organizations typically are not ready for proper crisis management in the actual time of
need. Risk mitigation, which includes crisis management, is often put on the back
burner, since there is no crisis at the time when it is being considered. It is important to
be prepared in advance, for those times when you’re planning and preparation will pay
off, given the cost to an organization is high, if crisis occurs and the company is not able
to either contain or manage the crisis event properly. Managing the crisis and then
learning from each crisis event through analysis of what occurred is most important.
Executive Coaching
The executive coach prods difficult answers from difficult questions of the executive,
challenge assumptions that perhaps require a stronger fact base, provision clarity when
needed, and at times, always with permission, are known to provide advice. They often
conduct confidential interviews to help a client gain self-awareness, and establish
development goals.
Investor Relations
Results are achieved through several key areas of expertise: based largely on data; a
deep understanding of the operation and capital structure; the ability to provide
consistent and trusted counsel to all levels of executive management, at both the Board
and the C Suite; established relationships with known private equity investors (F&F,
Angels, etc.), and financial and legal analysts; and ongoing relationships with media
elements, specifically those close to Technology and Health Services.
16
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
Key interactive activities the organization may need to maintain, through investor
relations includes access and communications with Investment Banks, Financial Media,
LBOs, Venture Capital Firms, Institutional Investors, Mutual Funds and Commercial
Banks, along with major pension plan managers.
Performed properly, the process takes into consideration innumerable issues including
those of all stakeholders in the company, which includes shareholders, investors,
lenders, managers and the requirements of the company itself. Each contributor to a
business must be clear in what they intend to receive as a result of their relative
commitments, be it capital or otherwise. As part of the capitalization process, the
defining, building, evaluating, managing and balancing the expectations of all
stakeholders is the key to obtaining and structuring necessary capital successfully that
fits all of the stakeholders needs. Raising the capital is important of course, but
understanding the true cost of the fund raising, and its implications to founders or
company ownership ability to continue to control, manage and exercise desired exit
strategies is critical as part of the over all process. There is much more to the process
than cranking out a business plan.

Data Assessment
Our experience with data assessment largely is a constant in the health services
environment, where data like population is critical to serving a region or national locality,
in which in many cases, lives and quality of life are at stake. The potential of spurious
decisions coming from erroneous data can be treacherous and as such, data
assessment is a critical element of the activity, part and parcel with the collection and
monitoring of the data itself, and of course, in line with analysis of the data itself.
Today, health and technology organizations and institutions are confronted and dealing
with many challenges. They have to cope with the impacts of different merging cultures,
control elements, disruption, population shifts, demographics changing and aging
infrastructure. Addressing these issues requires having accurate information on the
systems. This allows for complete understanding and tackling of the problem. In many
cases, data available is generally unreliable or outdated. This makes planning and
management very difficult. It is therefore crucial to upgrade and properly calibrate the
data collection and monitoring system. With dependable and accurate information, you'll
be able to make informed decisions on how to best address the challenges you face.
18
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
We have spent several decades building our knowledge and skillsets in a variety of
organizational and institutional environments worldwide to support requirements for
reliable and accurate data collection and monitoring. From country, municipal and
regional bodies, the provisioning of data analysis systems and high-performance
modelling software, we have the tools to help you obtain the information from accurate
and timely data needed to make the best possible management and planning decisions.
Data Analysis
In the realm of health services and technology, where conditions are constantly
changing and disruption is a constant, standards still apply regarding data analysis,
where there are two prominent methods: qualitative research and quantitative research.
Each method has their own primary and basic techniques. Interviews and observations
based on empirical data are forms of qualitative research, while experiments
and surveys are quantitative research. Specific to the health services realm, lives
potentially hang in the balance and if the analysis of data, certainly clean data,
assessment of the data are highly important to ensuring quality in the analysis of data.
This feasibility of the dataset is also relevant to other sectors, such as technology, ICT
and other related areas.
The inclusion of a process for analysis is imperative for proper results. This standard
based method is to include data cleaning, quality analysis, analysis, exploratory and
conformity of the data, stability of results, use of proper statistical methods and the
presentation of knowledge presentation. Elemental to the process is the final ability to
back the conclusions made through support of the decision making process.
Data Warehousing
The application of data warehousing is highly relevant in a data centric business world,
where now more than ever, big data and AI rely on data that is subject oriented,
integrated, sensitive to defined variables, time-variant and stable (not volatile), all of
which enables institutions and corporations to make informed business decisions on a
timely and accurate basis. This capability has been performed on our part in highly
complex environments such as health support systems, ministerial programs and large
corporate programs.
The integration of data from multiple sources into one single topic relevant
comprehensive database is very much the key enabler for executives and management
to once again, make informed decisions. This is sometimes called stacking of
databases, most often referred to as an OLAP (online analytical processing) database,
which is layered or stacked. The chief benefit from warehousing of data is to provide the
means and ability to process large amounts of data in a highly efficient manner.
The ability to influence leadership to make decisions voluntarily on the part of the
organization’s long-term success on a sustainable basis, continuing financial stability
and profitability. Ensuring the ability to always account for culture, strategy and purpose
are on the same wavelength and affiliate together.
19
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
The addressing of building strategic direction, through clear vision for the organization
and the motivation and persuasion of others in the organization to pursue and acquire
that same vision, all interests going in the same direction.
Stakeholder Engagement
Stakeholder engagement is important. It is necessary to mentally and sometimes
visualize how the stakeholders of an organization link together and support one another.
By strengthening community connections, one is able to build long-term positive
relationships with prominent stakeholders through engagement with potential customers,
donors, opinion leaders and future employees. By creating an effective process of
engagement, you are able to foster lasting, tighter more mutually beneficial relationships
that will improve organizational moral, reputation and business outcomes.
Institutions need to effectively engage with key stakeholders, and understand their
needs, wants, interests and motivations. By finding mutual ground, the foundations for
lasting relationships are made, granting opportunities to build on existing community
connections and create new ones. In order achieve results, stakeholder engagement
activities include working out who the key stakeholders are, conduct research to
determine the core group of stakeholders, based on corporate objectives, prioritize the
stakeholders in importance to the organization, regarding both their influence and the
depth of impact they have on the organization and in building stakeholder maps,
encourages engagement with all key stakeholders in a positive and productive manner.
Outputs from regulation and public policy can have wide ranging implications and effects
for companies, organizations and institutions globally. For many organizations, this could
mean new reporting and governance requirements, that are either expensive or onerous
to perform, causing a ripple effect in most any organization, if allowed to happen. It is
critical that organizations thoroughly understand their operating environment, the rules
and regulations they must operate within and with which they must be compliant.
Regulatory intervention in the telecommunications, broadcasting, and health sectors has
been caused for various reasons, where new entrants to the market are authorized or
licensed and thus, barriers usually need to be removed to allow for market entry.
Interaction and or interconnection of facilities, services and harmonization are common
targets across all sectors for regulation and monitoring. The reason for regulation
intervention is generally driven toward building a fair and level playing field for all
participants, providing safety rules and a semi-controlled environment, even during
deregulation, where in some cases, some regulation has been viewed as being
counterproductive. Its goals is to foster competitive supply, promoting an efficient supply
of products and services at efficient prices.
Best practices regulatory efforts can determine the prospects for policy success or
failure. Studies show strong correlations between regulatory quality and economic
growth, better governance quality and higher incomes per capita. Eliminating
cumbersome procedures and administrative burdens is sometimes a necessary, but
usually insufficient approach to sustainable regulatory reform. The Regulatory Policy and
Management practice standard increases the focus on the organization and or institution
with systemic aspects of regulatory support, upgrades and reformation, if applicable. The
20
Naviti Management – PhotoTura – Nov 2019
Investment & Corporate Governance Activity & Documentation
object of a solid regulation and policy practice is to strengthen the governance
dimension of regulatory reform and, in turn, improve the sustainability and effectiveness
of regulation as a core tool of any organization or institution. Strong regulatory policy
management addresses focus points or opportunities through a mix of management and
financial tools, analytical work, technical assistance, capacity building and the
engagement of all stakeholders involved. Thorough impact analysis of regulation as well
as ensuring the organization’s use of input and output notice and comment systems
should be a priority, as part of the overall process.
