A quick primer on debt versus equity:!! Debt:!• gets paid back first, before any dividends !
get paid !• secured by assets (company, your
personal)!• once the debt is repaid (with interest of !
course), the lender gets nothing else!
Equity:!• never has to be “repaid”!• keeps on “paying” forever!• you now have an investor partner who !
is in this, like you, for the long haul!
Mobile App Example!You need $40K to build/market a new iOS app
You have a grant for $10K so funding needed is $30K
Profit Debt 50:50 Equity
Low on chart $10K lender loses $20K* partner loses $25K you get $0K & owe $20K you get $5K
Featured List $30K lender is even+ partner loses $15K
you make $0K you make $15K
Top of Chart $200K lender is even+ partner makes $70K you make $170K you make $100K
