In the latest in the EIS & VC basics series for the EIS Navigator podcast we discuss how companies can find the right EIS or VCT manager for investment. Symvan Capital has been investing through EIS for over a decade so has seen what happens when companies handle it well and badly. Investment manager, Michael Theodosiou talks us through the angles. Michael covers lots of important issues for founders and management. These include: • how do companies approach the idea of raising money • the benefits and expectations of getting venture capital • the different types of managers • sector and stage differences • how targeting can make fundraising more efficient • when companies should think about starting a fundraising • how to approach fund managers • how to choose between different offers • how terms and value add can vary It can seem daunting to a founder who is new to fundraising, but with a little guidance they can manage an effective process without making it too complicated.
