What does an investor get from a share in a startup?

Question

Project management

The share is most often indicated at 30% - and what to do with it?
How to manage? How to withdraw funds?
How to influence the development of the project?

Answer 1

What you mean is not an investor, but a co-owner.
In principle, an investor can also be a co-owner.
Can and work hard in the firm on an equal footing.
For everyone it is possible.
Influence by voting.
If your 30% - then you have 30% of the vote.
If besides you, one more person (the founder) owns the rest 70% - forget about influence.
He has all the threads.
True, you still have all sorts of undercover games - they say, selling your share to the bandits, if you don't do it my way.
Or - on the contrary: if you do so, then I will give you more money.
An investor can either get his money later with a profit, or lose everything. And it's NOT CREDIT. You are not obligated to return ANYTHING. Prepare mentally.
If those who have 70% of the votes decide NOT TO WITHDRAW MONEY FOR PROFIT AT ALL, but put everything into development, then you CANNOT GET ANYTHING.

Answer 2

An investor invests in a startup so that later it will be a hundred times more expensive to sell this share, and not to manage, let alone withdraw money from there.

Answer 3

1) Wait until the startup grows
2) The startup gets a lot of customers
3) Sell part of the share or the entire share to other investors
4) Of course, PROFIT
must be sold many times more expensive if the startup is successful, it does not necessarily make a profit

Answer 4

A share of 30% is a fairy tale that has become a wishlist for many Russian startups. This figure came from the old old report of one of the investors in the "silicon valley" (I'm sorry, I've already lost the link to this). Then these notorious 30% migrated to a bunch of further articles, books, etc., etc., etc.
Forget it! This may still be relevant for the US and other countries with a developed system of investment protection, but not here.
When investing in a startup, an investor, as a rule, provides not only funds in the form of real money, but also his connections, his experience, and other resources. This is often much more valuable than just banknotes.
As a rule, the investor is more highly qualified in some areas related to the startup than the initiators (you must agree, it’s kind of stupid to invest in areas where you can’t kick your ass, and rarely anyone gets money from scratch) And it’s completely wrong for the investor withdraw from participation in the life of a startup.
There is a normal scheme that allows you to observe the interests of the initiators and protect the investor's investments.
Yes, the investor receives 10 - 49% of the profit, but until the return of the initial investment amount, he has a 51-70% stake in the company.
In general, the distribution of shares in a startup is the subject of a large and clever article. Here I have outlined only a few of her theses.

Answer 5

How do you agree.

Answer 6

It all depends on the conditions of the project and the platform on which the startup is located) but in general, God forbid that the investor receives at least something from the startup, according to statistics, most of them become unprofitable)
