VC/Growth Equity & Investors:Pick a recent investment into a company by VC or growth equity investors. You shouldfocus on the business model & the VC/Growth Equity investors themselves. The parton the investors will discuss the returns they may or may not have achieved and howthey will get those returns under different scenarios. The part on the business model(SaaS or otherwise) should consider how the business may scale/ or has scaled andwhat are the growth rates and external funds needed that are expected (or realized) thatwill be provided by the investors. What are the critical factors and assumptions?For a company that did exit through an IPO/SPAC or trade sale, make sure you alsoanalyze the previous VC funding strategy regarding which venture investors funded thecompany, their outcomes, and how many rounds of VC funding the company used. Alsoaddress the impact on the ownership percentage of the founder/entrepreneur.Lastly, as part of your analysis, also consider the fundamental value of the business andcompare it to comparable firms (please use PitchBook and PrivCo) as well as the actualpublic price if it indeed went public.I will look at the recent investment of Bain Capital Ventures in Apollo.io h:ps://www.apollo.io/ $100M, sales.Apollo.io is a market sales plaBorm that helps accelerate the growth of an organizaEon (SaaS).
