Misunderstood EDTs
Despite their fabulous societal and commercial potential, many EDTs have difficulty convincing funds.
Why?
1
Because they seem risky.
2
Because they are difficult to understand.
3
Because the market is distracted and looking the other way
4
Because no one detects and accompanies them.
5
Because they don't have the funds to grow.
EDTs that are (very) profitable
Unique characteristics for growth potential that cannot be found elsewhere.
Because...
1
Target IRR: 25% + gross
2
Innovation (sometimes disruptive)
Collaborate early with major groups: turnover and resilience. Valorization of innovations: co-development, innovation as a service.
3
Huge potential market
Exponential growth, incomparable to other sectors.
4
Fast exit possible
5
Reasonable early stage valuation
With the possibility of maintaining or increasing your participation in the following rounds.
6
Non-dilutive lever
Access to grants dedicated to innovation (Bpi, JEI, etc.). Grants (€150k of own funds become €500k).
7
Liquidity event
Release possible in the following rounds, and as early as Series B. Faster refinancing rounds due to the techno-innovation aspect. Acquisition by an industrialist in the sector when technology is mature.
