ARE ANGELS MO RE IN TUNE WITH IPO COMPANIES THAN VCS? UN D E RP RI CI N G O F I P O S L E S S L IK EL Y W IT H A N G EL IN V E ST OR S In a new research report, the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Venture Research suggests that IPO companies are less likely to be underpriced if backed by angels. This may be because the angels are more likely to sell shares as part of the IPO than venture capitalists. The research examined all companies that went public in the U.S from 2001 through 2007, having eliminated the bubble years of 1999-2000. The study determined that angel investors are more concentrated in their investments (and diversify less) compared to VCs. As a result, angels are more likely to sell some of their shares, aligning their interest with the company, i.e. to raise as much money as possible through the IPO. Venture capitalists typically claim market gains when they sell or distribute their stakes after the 6-month lockup and want to show a large run up. An apparent implication of this study for companies seeking investments is that it helps them evaluate investment options with angels and venture investors. In our opinion, the benefits that accrue to a company from each class of investor are different and should be evaluated based on the larger strategic context. Super Rewards fetches up to $50 million in acquisition: Canadian company Super Rewards (subsidiary of KITN Media) is rumoured to have fetched $50 million in its acquisition by Adknowledge. Thus far in July, online media company Pandora (Internet Radio) has secured the largest financing transaction ($35 million). In-text advertisement company Kontera Ltd. and social networking company Ning follow with $15.5 million and $15.0 million in financings, respectively. Total capital raised so far in July is $156.7 million through 21 transactions, averaging $7.1 million per transaction. June closed with $180 million in financing on 36 transactions. The averages for the months of May (excluding the Facebook transaction) and June were $6.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Financing Activity Last Three Months 250.0
