Question
The founders of XMP GmbH have created a successful software as a service platform and are now looking for venture capital to accelerate the growth of the company. Currently, the company is entirely founder-owned and has 10,000.00 shares outstanding. But before they start fundraising, they want their employees to participate in the success story of their business. Therefore, the founders issue shares to an employee share option program (ESOP) so that the entire ESOP represents 20.00% of the ownership of the company. Shortly after that, they receive an offer from the venture capital firm A-Capital. A-Capital offers to invest 4,000,000.00 € at a 16,000,000.00 € pre-money valuation.
