The top of follow-on investing has SO MANY myths on both the founder side as well as the investor side.

This video sets out to debunk them – things like:

As an investor…
…should you allocate part of your fund for follow on?
…should you always follow on?

As a startup…
…is it bad signaling in an investor doesn’t follow on?
…should you take money from investors who do / don’t follow on?

Few founders have properly considered what happens once they’ve created their fundraising assets. Once they decide they’re raising equity investment they plough full steam ahead into creating their pitch without even considering what comes next.

With the excitement of having nailed your pitch, it’s easy to jump straight into seeking investors and signing up to pitch events. However, in order to complete an investment round, you’re going to need to have a range of legal documents in place.

In this event, Anthony Rose, Founder of SeedLegals, covered everything founders need to know about the legal side of their funding campaign, from creating a founder agreement to securing their first investor.

• Getting your cap table right
• Allocating shares to team members
• What size option pool to create
• Deciding valuation and how much to raise
• Getting SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance
• Raising ahead of a round, and rolling close rounds
• The right options scheme for your team

Bitpanda co-founders and co-CEOs Eric Demuth and Paul Klanschek join CNBC’s ‘Squawk on the Street’ to discuss the fintech platform’s latest funding round, which puts the startup at a $4.1 billion valuation.

Bitpanda, a European cryptocurrency trading platform, has raised $263 million in a fresh round of funding valuing the company at $4.1 billion.

That’s more than three times the $1.2 billion Bitpanda was worth in its last private financing round five months ago. The latest cash injection brings the company’s total raised to nearly $500 million.

The investment was led by Valar Ventures, the venture capital firm co-founded by U.S. tech billionaire Peter Thiel. It’s the third time Valar has backed Bitpanda since its first major funding round, announced in September.

“I don’t like to do fundraising,” Eric Demuth, Bitpanda’s CEO and co-founder, told CNBC. “It’s very time-consuming.”

“When you have partners you have a close connection with, and they have deep pockets, you don’t have to do the whole roadshow,” Demuth said. Valar “wanted to double down and we wanted to stay with them,” he added. “It was quite an easy process.”

British billionaire hedge fund manager Alan Howard and REDO Ventures also invested in Bitpanda’s latest round, along with existing investors LeadBlock Partners and Jump Capital.

What is Bitpanda?

Founded in 2014, Bitpanda is a Vienna-based brokerage firm that lets people buy and sell cryptocurrencies and precious metals. The company also began testing a service this year that lets users trade stocks around the clock.

“By the end of the year, I think you’ll have a really good offering for stocks,” Demuth said.

Bitpanda is one of many online brokers in Europe attracting growing interest from investors, thanks in part to the “meme stock” trading frenzy. Retail traders piled into unloved stocks like GameStop and AMC, taking inspiration from a popular Reddit forum. That boosted trading volumes at digital platforms such as Robinhood.

Bitpanda’s competitors include Revolut, Trade Republic and eToro.

One way the company hopes to differentiate from rivals is by licensing its technology to banks and fintech companies. It declined to name any clients but said several big firms were already implementing the system and will be able offer crypto and stock trading in a matter of months.

Bitpanda makes its money from the spread between what someone is willing to pay for an asset and the price at which that asset is sold. The start-up has been profitable for five years, Demuth said.

Profitability is a rarity in fintech, with many venture-backed companies in the space racking up heavy losses. Revolut, which was last valued at $33 billion, lost £167.8 million ($232.3 million) in 2020, up 57% from a year earlier.

Demuth said a number of fintech companies are raising money at lofty valuations out of “hype” and a “fear of missing out.”

“I’m very skeptical about this,” he said. “Many companies, especially in the fintech area, are purely based on a combination of hype and growth. But the growth is mostly paid, so you have a product that is for free and you are simply buying your customers.”

Bitpanda didn’t provide a breakdown of how much money it makes each year, but said revenues were on track to rise sevenfold in 2021. The platform now has more than 3 million users.

The firm only operates in Europe, with offices in Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan and Krakow. It plans to use the money to expand in key markets like France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
