Accelerator Equity : Scenario Models
10x
- Out of 30 accelerator companies if one company reaches a $2 billion valuation:
- Then CrossWork’s interest (assuming a 3% interest) is worth $60 million
- A $1 million investment would return $10 million without counting 29 remaining opportunities
2x
- Out of 30 accelerator companies if two companies reach $200 million each in valuation:
- Then CrossWork’s interest (assuming a 3% interest) is worth $12 million
- A $1 million accelerator interest would return $2 million on just this opportunity without counting 29 remaining opportunities
Private equity investments, including ours, are risky, speculative, illiquid and carry the risk of loss of all capital
Case Study:
>$1 bilion evaluation
-
CrossWork adviser, Steven Ogunro an ex-Goldman Sachs banker, completed an early stage investment in
-
completed an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange at a valuation at over $1 billion
-
was subsequently acquired for $1.6 billion by Vista Equity, a fund founded by a former Goldman Sachs colleague
- As of August 2020 ranked top 10 among software companies in USA
Accelerator Equity : Scenario Models
Accelerator
- Takes 2% to 10% ownership in each company at a targeted per company valuation of $10 million
- Attempting to reach or exceed targeted return simply requires adding more companies to accelerator with no additional investment outlay
Fund
- $50k per investment at $10 million per company valuation would only get 0.5% equity per company
- Once fund is invested returns (investments) are capped to investor
- Provides companies much needed capital for growth allowing for faster scaling
Case Study:
>$1 bilion evaluation
- Some of our advisors invest directly in the most compelling companies
-
CrossWork adviser, Audie Attar, manager of professional athlete Conor McGregor, completed an investment in
-
Jose Cuervo acquired an additional 29% stake in for $70 million, around August 2020, creating an implied floor valuation of $240 million
IPO Market
- >50% return in major IPO index returns as of Sep. 2020
- But CrossWork targets investments at pre-IPO price further enhancing potential returns
- CrossWork believes timing is of the essence
- Still, future performance could be negative or adverse in spite of past performance. Private investments are illiquid, speculative and run the risk of complete capital loss
U.S. IPO Market
As of September, 2020 IPO Performance HasBeen Very Strong Despite Covid

- These immediately popped on the first day of trading, ending up by as much as 111% at $245 per share
