Is there any difference between private placements and venture capital?
Tigg3cool asked:
Is venture capital the same thing as a private placement? For example if several VC firms invested $20 million in a company would that be considered a private placement meaning is a private placement any investment in a private company, or are private placements something that is done with larger, more mature companies while VC is only in newer ones?

How and from what resources does a CEO of a company make money from?
Vivek asked:
I would like to know that if and when I start my own LLC company and seek out Venture Capital firms who would want to invest in my company after meeting with them, where would I as the CEO of the company make an income from? Let’s say I bring in 10 million to the company. Would I be able to get a finders fee of, for instance, 5% out of that? Also, would I be able to get a company house, car and bi weekly salary from that initial investment even if the company does not make any profits? How much could I make from profits as a CEO of the company? Or is it that I could not touch the money that was brought in from the Venture Capital firms until profits are paid out?

ladiejay71 asked:
A company employs 110 people in total (headcount). The company has 2.5% of staff in HR, a sales and marketing staff which is 15% of the headcount and the remainder in Administration. The Administration consists of VPs and Admin Assistants. The number of Admin Asst are 10.5 more than the number of VPs.
What is the number of Admin Assistants in the company?
Due to a new round of venture capital funding, the company increases the total head count by 50%. The Administration now represents 80% of the headcount and there was no change in the HR staff. What percentage of the company is the sales and Marketing?
One year later, the company decides to have a head count reduction (layoff) of 30%. Administration and Sales and Marketing Departments were affected by the reduction. Administration lost 61 people more than Sales and Marketing. After the reduction what percentage of employees are in the Administration?

Do you know whether consultants are ever compensated in stock or options from a client company?
JustAsking asked:
Situation is a start-up company with venture capital but can’t (won’t) pay my quoted rate (I’m an independent consultant, business reengineering). They want me to come back with something much lower, maybe half.
I’m OK with that IF I can negotiate something in return (and not just lower my price without due consideration). They’ve hinted at future upside (for them, as a company), so I’m wondering if there is a way for me as a non-employee to get stock options if I lower my consulting fee.
I have no experience with non-cash compensation as a consultant. Anyone out there have some good information or ideas?
Search27Man - Thank you for your forthright assessment, born of your experience. I’m interested in what others might say as well.

How do people think of these ideas for venture capital firms?
willyoulovemetonight asked:
Okay look at the firm bellow and their list of companies. You will see first sensor technology. Okay how did the person who founded that company think of all that insanely elaborate crap or how to make it? Did he just wake up one day and like “oh I will make pressure equipment that will work”. What makes them competitive anyway can someone explain?

Issueing additional stock for venture capital?
mamu asked:
I would like to know how the new stocks can be issued to venture capitalist to raise money. Who can do it?
I am just intended to be the stock holder of the company but I will be raising money through venture capital. So can I issue new stocks? or either director or office has to do it?
I am asking this question because to venture capitalist I will be representing the company and at any stage I can’t tell them that I have no authority for something.
It’s a c corporation. I think there is no president or secretary. There are stock holders, directors and officer(CEO)
