Med fire eller fem investeringer er du avhengig av \u00e5 ha funnet en av de f\u00e5 store vinnerne, uten \u00e5 kunne vite p\u00e5 forh\u00e5nd hvilken det blir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En balansert portef\u00f8lje reduserer risikoen for \u00e5 tape alt og begrenser hvor mye \u00e9n eksepsjonell investering kan p\u00e5virke totalavkastningen.

Den samme studien fra 2007 fant at engleinvestorer som var i kontakt med selskapet \u00e9n eller to ganger i m\u00e5neden, fikk 3,7 ganger investert kapital tilbake, mot 1,3 ganger for dem som var i kontakt \u00e9n eller to ganger i \u00e5ret. Investeringer i bransjer engleinvestoren selv hadde kompetanse i, ga omtrent dobbelt s\u00e5 mye tilbake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disse sammenhengene tyder p\u00e5 at engasjement betyr noe. Del arbeidet hvis du vil ha en bred portef\u00f8lje og samtidig v\u00e6re nyttig for selskapene. Invester sammen med andre, la en lead investor lede due diligence (selskapsgjennomgang) og ta styreplassen i hver investering. F\u00f8lg selv tettest opp de selskapene der erfaringen din er mest nyttig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>N\u00e5r du starter: Sett ti som m\u00e5l, og n\u00e5 det gjennom mindre investeringer sammen med andre f\u00f8r du gj\u00f8r st\u00f8rre investeringer alene.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Med kapital til mer: Forskningen peker mot tjue eller flere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Med en bransjespesialisering: Bruk mest tid p\u00e5 selskaper i denne bransjen, der dataene viser at det l\u00f8nner seg.

Et selskap som blir selvfinansierende, trenger kanskje ikke det. Planlegg for finansieringsbehov og mulige utvanningsforl\u00f8p n\u00e5r du gj\u00f8r den f\u00f8rste investeringen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/compass.seraf.io\/compass\/article\/staging-capital-angel-follow-theory\">Erfarne engleinvestorer anbefaler<\/a> at den f\u00f8rste investeringen utgj\u00f8r 25 til 50 % av det du vil investere i selskapet totalt. Det betyr \u00e5 holde \u00e9n til tre ganger f\u00f8rstegangsinvesteringen i reserve. Ingen studie fastsetter et bestemt forholdstall; dette er en tommelfingerregel fra erfarne engleinvestorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Uten reserver kan du bli utvannet akkurat n\u00e5r selskapet begynner \u00e5 lykkes og du \u00f8nsker \u00e5 investere igjen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I britiske aktivitetsdata var gjennomsnittlig oppf\u00f8lgingsinvestering GBP 77 000, mot en gjennomsnittlig f\u00f8rstegangsinvestering p\u00e5 GBP 108 000. Medianene var GBP 25 000 og GBP 45 000. N\u00e5r en oppf\u00f8lgingsinvestering kommer, utgj\u00f8r den halvparten til tre firedeler av den f\u00f8rste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NorBAN publiserer det samme bildet for Norge. Bare omtrent en tredel av engleinvestorene i nettverket oppgir at de har kapasitet til \u00e5 f\u00f8lge opp i en senere runde. De fleste investeringsbel\u00f8pene ligger mellom NOK 0,5 og 2 millioner, med rundt NOK 100 000 for investeringer som fyller opp en runde, og rundt NOK 1 million for de st\u00f8rre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dette er tall for hele nettverket, ikke en prognose for hva eierne i ditt selskap vil investere. Sp\u00f8r hver investor om kapasitet til oppf\u00f8lgingsinvesteringer. Bestem om du selv skal holde av kapital eller planlegge \u00e5 akseptere utvanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oppf\u00f8lgingsinvesteringer har historisk gitt svakere avkastning. I de amerikanske dataene fra 2007 hadde 29 % av de realiserte investeringene f\u00e5tt oppf\u00f8lgingskapital fra engleinvestoren. Disse exitene ga 1,4 ganger investert kapital, mot 3,6 ganger for exiter uten oppf\u00f8lgingsinvesteringer. Den britiske studien fra 2009 fant 1,2 ganger investert kapital for exiter med oppf\u00f8lgingsinvesteringer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behold reserver til selskaper som gj\u00f8r fremskritt. Finansierer du et selskap som er i ferd med \u00e5 mislykkes, \u00f8ker eksponeringen din, og du har mindre igjen til sterkere investeringer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skriv ned noen korte regler for reservene f\u00f8r den f\u00f8rste investeringen. Da vet du hva som skal til n\u00e5r en gr\u00fcnder ber om mer penger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bestem hvor mye du totalt er villig til \u00e5 investere i ett selskap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La den f\u00f8rste investeringen utgj\u00f8re 25 til 50 % av totalen, og \u00f8remerk resten.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bruk reserven bare n\u00e5r selskapet kan dokumentere at det fungerer. Frigj\u00f8r pengene til andre investeringer hvis det ikke kan det.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bestem allerede n\u00e5 om du i det hele tatt kan f\u00f8lge opp, og si fra om det.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fordel investeringene over flere \u00e5r<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inngangsprisene f\u00f8lger finansieringssyklusen. Bygger du hele portef\u00f8ljen p\u00e5 atten m\u00e5neder, kj\u00f8per du i \u00e9n markedsperiode. Er prisene h\u00f8ye i den perioden, f\u00e5r hele portef\u00f8ljen et dyrt utgangspunkt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investerer du den samme kapitalen over fire eller fem \u00e5r, fordeler du kj\u00f8pene p\u00e5 ulike prisniv\u00e5er. Det er den eneste m\u00e5ten \u00e5 spre risikoen mellom investerings\u00e5r p\u00e5 n\u00e5r du ikke kan treffe riktig tidspunkt i syklusen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En plan for tempoet skjerper ogs\u00e5 utvalget. Hvis planen er fire investeringer i \u00e5ret, men bare to selskaper er verdt \u00e5 investere i, blir det to investeringer det \u00e5ret. Kvaliteten p\u00e5 dealflow bestemmer tempoet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Om du eier aksjene personlig eller gjennom et holdingselskap, p\u00e5virker hvor mye av en exit du kan investere p\u00e5 nytt, fordi realiserte gevinster beskattes ulikt (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skatteetaten.no\/en\/business-and-organisation\/tax-for-businesses\/tax-return\/deductions\/shares-and-securities\/the-tax-exemption-method\/\">Skatteetaten<\/a>).
