M&A Awards Belgium 2019 | Pitch Best PE Venture Capital deal |
Criteria Best PE Venture Capital deal here
Venture Capital deals are defined as deals involving Belgian based start-up/scale-up companies and Venture Capital firms. Venture capital provides growth capital for start-ups or young high growth companies. Venture Capital refers to equity investments made for the launch, early development or accelerating the go-to-market process.
The distinguishing feature with a venture capital deal is that there is an investment in a company that goes through a technological, high-risk pre-investment and therefore initially has negative cash flows. This can be a Life Sciences deal with high yields at the exit.
The best venture capital deals are defined as exit deals where the value creation process and the quality of the exit can be judged.
Nominated deals are determined by the strategy behind the deal, the complexity of the transaction, evidence of great and authentic leadership of the management, innovative deal, a competitive exit price and the development of a strong, progressive culture and wider contribution to all stakeholders.
Growth factors such as revenue, EBITDA, employment, new markets, innovation, etc. are decisive for the jury.
There is no cap on the size of the deal.
This can be a majority or a minority interest in a company.
The buyer is irrelevant and can be a private equity party, corporate, family office or via a management buy-out.
