Finanzas para emprendedores

De un tiempo a esta parte solo oigo hablar bien del crowdfunding. Para los que no lo sepan, y simplificando mucho la cuestión, diré que esto del “crowdfunding” consiste en recibir innumerables aportaciones económicas para tu proyecto, que bien puede ser a título gratuito (donaciones como las que se hacen a Wikipedia), como lucrativo. En este segundo caso he visto dos tipos de propuestas. Algunas empresas solicitan el dinero a cambio de una participación en el capital, mientras que otras ofrecen como contraprestación un porcentaje de los beneficios que dé el proyecto que se está financiando. Un ejemplo de esto lo vi hace poco cuando una empresa de videojuegos me pidió pasta para producir un título a cambio de un porcentaje de las ganancias que generase ese videojuego que yo estaba ayudando a producir. Bueno, la pregunta es: esto del crowdfunding, ¿merece la pena?

Why There Will Never be a Standard Set of Seed Documents (a.k.a “Why Brad Feld will Fail”) | Mendelson's Musings

http://www.jasonmendelson.com/wp/archives/2010/03/why-there-will-never-be-a-standard-set-of-seed-documents-a-k-a-why-brad-feld-will-fail.php My partner Brad recently wrote a blog post commenting on the proliferation of standardized seed financing documents . The post was motivated by the highly-publicized release of the fourth instantiation of such a standard series of documents, this time by Ted Wang at Fenwick & West with collaboration from a group of bay-area early stage VC’s and angel investors . Brad noted that it seemed silly to have four different versions and decided to invite everyone together in a room to come up with one, universally accepted set of model documents. The immediate response was tremendous. 33 comments to the post and countless more emails from lawyers, entrepreneurs, VCs all praising the effort and wanting to know how they could get involved. And all I could think was “Feld, you haven’t a clue what you’ve gotten yourself into.

Abertis y OHL han acordado una reorganización societaria. En concreto, Abertis se ha hecho con el 60% que la constructora tiene en su filial OHL Brasil y, como contraprestación, ha ofrecido el 10% de su capital, que procederá de autocartera.
