Startup Funding Espresso - Investor Expectations of Returns

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors in the startup space have a certain expectation for returns. Startups raising funding should keep in mind these expectations and only approach them if you have a deal that is in the game for it. Venture investors including angels, venture capitalists, and limited partners, typically look for a 20-30 percent internal rate of return (IRR) over a 5-year time horizon. This can also be expressed as a"two and a half to four times" the original money invested. If it takes longer than five years, then investors will look for a 5-10X ROI to maintain a 20-30 percent IRR. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. ----- For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact [email protected]
