Question: Note 1 : Assume that Telco raises $ 5 million at a pre - money valuation of $ 1 0 million. Suppose that Valhalla invests

Note 1: Assume that Telco raises $5 million at a pre-money valuation of $10 million. Suppose that Valhalla invests $2.5 million of the total $5 million raised by Telco (the remaining $2.5 million are invested by Columbia Capital).
Note 2: Assume that Telco raises an additional $5 million, and that Valhalla contributes its pro-rata share of these $5 million. Note that this is consistent with the description in case Exhibit 1(page 8).
Valhalla ownership %: Valhalla ownership %:Begin with the $5mm pre-money tab.
First, calculate the Valhalla ownership %(cell B33). To do that, you'll need to calculate
Telco's post-money valuation, and then simply divide Valhalla's investment amount by
the post-money valuation.
Next, calculate, Valhalla's proceeds if Telco is sold for $169.4 million, which is Telco's
assumed exit valuation under the Company's Model if Telco is valued at 2 x revenues (see
case page 17). Write down the exit proceeds in cell G9.
Note that, as described in the case (page 8), we are assuming that in all scenarios,
Valhalla makes an investment contribution in Telco's Series B round equal to its
pro-rata share. For example, this means that if Valhalla owns 20% of Telco after
the Series A and the Series B round is for $10 million, Valhalla will invest 0.210
=$2 million in the Series B round, thus ensuring that Valhalla continues to own
20% of Telco after the Series B, and so that Valhalla will receive 20% of Telco's
exit valuation. (The numbers in this example are made-up - when solving the
exercise, you should use the numbers in the Excel file.)
Finally, calculate the IRR earned by Valhalla if Telco is sold for $169.4 million. Write
down the IRR in cell M9.
In order to calculate the IRR's, the Excel function XIRR() will be helpful.
The remaining calculations are all analogous. For instance, in cell G10 you write down
Valhalla's proceeds if Telco is sold for $115.0 million, and in cell M10 the corresponding
IRR. Similarly, in cell K9 you write down Valhalla's proceeds if Telco is sold for $226.2
million, and in cell N9 the corresponding IRR.
Once done with this tab, you move on to the $10mm pre-money tab. Here everything is
analogous: You begin by calculating Valhalla's ownership %(cell B33), and then you do
the rest.
The only additional step is that you'll need to calculate Valhalla's investment in the
Series B round, which you need to write (with a negative sign) in cells F8, F9, F17, F18,
F25,F26, J8, J9, J17, J18, J25, and J26(it is the same number in all 12 cells). To make
this calculation, recall that Valhalla makes an investment contribution in Telco's Series B
round equal to its pro-rata share; that is, Valhalla will invest x% of the $5 million raised
in the Series B, where X equals the Valhalla ownership % you have calculated in cell
B33.
