Kaplan’s Startup Game
“A race against time to create value and reduce risk”
(1) Founding:
An entrepreneur begins with a vision and shares of stock in the new venture.
Entrepreneur trades stock for ideas, money, and people
(2) Seed Stage:
•Venture capitalists provide money in return for stock
•Employees join via friends & associates in return for cash salary and stock options
•Ideas become intellectual property which represents the initial value in the company
Further growth is delayed until milestones are reached and risk of failure is reduced
(3) Growth Stage:
More money, ideas, and people are obtained, but for much less stock than in the earlier stage due to lower risk
Company balances earning cash, taking investment, and spending cash to create value
(4) Exit Stage (Success):
•Company files for IPO or gets acquired (M&A)
•A viable enterprise has been created (maybe public)
•Entrepreneur, investors, and employees can cash in stock for money (eventually)
•Each party continues to build the company, starts the game again, or something else
Value has been successfully created
