** late stage VC & VD round
- year 5-6
- best VC: Meritech
- best VD: Silicon Valley Bank
** Finance & Accounting differences
*** accounting
- accrued revenue and expenses
*** finance
- cash revenue and expenses
- cost of capital (cost of getting money)
- cost of equity
** Debt
- nominal interest rate = interest rate of a bank loan
- real interest rate: rate that government loans banks
- liquidity risk: how fast can one turn all his assets to cash
- cost of debt = liquidity risk + inflation risk + defautl risk + maturity + real interet rate
- risk free rate = real rate of interest + inflation premium
** yield curve
2024-12-09 17:16:13 +02:00
- x axis: time
- y axis: interest
- you can plot on that curve what the interest rate is going to be longer term
** calculate inflation
- bureau of labor statistics
- bls.gov
- calculate how much stuff you bought in one year is worth at present
- https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl
*** what is inflation
- to raise interest rates the gov sells bonds
- banks buy bonds
- bonds say the gov will buy back the bond at a rate
- this takes money out of circulation
- money is more scarce it is worth more
- when they want to lower interest rates they buy bonds
- this puts more money in circulation
*** most important tool of government
- if gov cant control the price of bitcoin, it has less power
*** inflation has been negative at times
- so check out the CPI Inflation calculator

** underlying economic drivers
- we all really on ratings agencies
- S&P
- Moody's
- better the rating, lower interest on debt
- AAA (best)
- AA
- A
- BBB (investment grade)
- anything higher than this is considered OK
- anything lower is "junk bond" / "high yield"
*** investment grade
- anything above BBB
- Default Risk Premium (DRP) is less than 1% above US treasuries rate
*** junk bonds
- BB and below
- DRP is 5% above treasury rates
*** why this matters
- early stage companies that take loans get junk bond rates
- this is why it's better to get equity / VC financing
- low inflation leads to startups
