Barriers - capital
• 70 deals to raise $7 million over 6 years ($1.5m equity)
• Zero institutional equity from early '09 to early '12 as
revenue soared 20x from $300k to >$6 mill
•Institutional deals 6-18 months vs hypergrowth
• HNW angel investors + supplier finance fill the gap
• No thanks/mercy from institutions, will watch you die
• Lack of working capital = massive supply gaps
• Success can kill you. So can Inst. Investors + grants
• Lesson: Investing own money vs other people's money
• Need streamlined early stage investing – sidecar fund

Improvements?
• Learn from / recognize history
• Real social capital – current interest rates = 10-36%
• Do deals faster
Agreed rough rules on valuation (eg. 0.5-2x revenue) Auto-investment fund for lemming effect, faster deals
Entrepreneurs use online data room and 100s of FAQs

3-6% equity as % of assets for power infrastructure in “good old days”
Very high use of debt (20:1 leverage)..........basically impossible today
Higher equity today = higher dilution for founders = <51% ownership?Debt will do the heavy lifting of getting power to the poor, not equity
A role for Subordinate Venture Debt? 2-5% 5-10 year loans? Revenue-share?
This kind of true patient capital no longer exists for SMEs, only for governments

Incentives - existing
• Competitions and grants Lighting Africa, Solar for All / Canopus, Postcode Lottery, Ashden,
Shell Foundation, other....?
Some are not regular
Useful but very small compared to scale of problem• Subsidies
India Rs 90/Wp ($2/W), Nepal similar? ....any other in Asia-Pacific?
Limited to Made-in-India products
Costs time/money to do the paperwork, cash very slow to arrive “per Watt” or “per kW” promotes power generation and
discourages investing in energy efficiency (eg. LEDs)
• Other? Free office incubators? Free investor/customer linkages?
