comment Do investors run away from entrepreneurs that have interests in 2 start-ups at the same time?
Hi Jeremy, thanks for asking. Moving very slowly ... We, unfortunately, have not found an agreement with the CEO of startup2 who would like me to have more involvement than I thought in startup2. So, still in step1... thanks

comment Consequences with investors if company doesn't meet agreed milestones
Thanks Alexandre. So, as far as I can derive from the comments and answers, it really depends. Sometimes, milestones are not included in the deal terms (like in Alexandre case), other times there are milestones framed in terms of actions (as explained by frenchie) , and other times there will be milestones framed as results that will specify the consequences (as mentioned by TimJ)

Thanks Alexandre. So, your revenue projections were part Of the business plan to help convincing investors of your business. However your deal didn't have any milestones with clawbacks or provisions. Is that correct? Cheers

Thanks for your answer frenchie. Are milestones commonly asked?

The example I refer to is the case of an early stage startup bootstrapped to date. The company gets 1M of investment from VCs and sets 5M profit in year 3 as milestone. My question relates to the consequences of not meeting that milestone but still being profitable and growing. Thanks

So, basically, this is the plan. First, to get an agreement of mutual understanding between the 2 start-up co-founders about commitment, expected involvement... Second, to go to the potential investors of startup 1 and describe the situation with complete transparency. If they are not happy with it, reevaluate the situation. Thanks Jeremy!

Thanks a lot for your informative reply Jeremy. I can see some room for working a solution out to keep all investors and startup founders happy.

Thanks mojsilo. Knowing their view on this would be great. The problem is that both start-ups are going to be approaching many VCs independently to get funding. Thus, I would not like to take the risk of one of the 2 startups approaching a VC I previously contacted for advice on this issue. Thanks!!!!
