摘要: 近年來,創業投資事業投資於早期 (Early stage)公司即種子期(Seed stage)、創建期(Start-up stage)的投資額度逐漸提升。面臨早期投資案缺乏實質資產可作為投資評估之實質依據的情況下,合資協議可視為創業投資事業自我控制風險之風險管理的一環。本研究將針對投資早期階段公司的合資協議,探討創投業者應如何與創業家(Entrepreneur)進行合資協議,擬定雙方的權利義務? 本研究採行個案研究法,希望藉由深入訪談方式,以探索台灣創投業者進行早期投資案時,有那些因素會對合資協議產生影響,那些條款應該納入合資協議之內,國內外投資及法令環境又對合資協議產生什麼影響。本研究結論如下: 1.個案研究結果發現合資協議會受到投資事業階段、投資區域、投資案金額、創投公司特質(基金規模、股東結構)、法令環境等五項因素影響。 2.主導早期投資案時,應和創業家訂定的合資協議條款,共分為九大項:股權形式、股權計價、股權保障方式、保證資料正確性、組織與經營管理、創業家違反合約條款處理方式、資金撤回時機與方式、反稀釋條款、流動性條款。 3.國內外投資環境及法令環境不同,創投業者和創業家對於合資協議項目中難以取得認同的項目也不同.國內部份是技術股比例及限制,在國外的部份則是公司市場價值、特別投票權及清償優先權。 4.二項對於合資協議訂定執行較不利的法令,即公司法第267條可能使技術人員不能拿到其應得的股份,及訂定限制出售股份、或技術團隊一定期間內不能離職條款,與個人財產權及工作權法令有所抵觸。 5.有關影響合資協議因素之命題: 命題1-1:合資協議內容會隨投資事業階段不同而有所差異。 命題1-2:投資區域會影響合資協議形成不同的執行細項。 命題1-3:投資金額愈大愈能主導合資協議。 命題2-1:基金規模愈大愈有利於訂定相關經營管理的合資協議條款。 命題2-2:擁有集團色彩的股東結構會牽就集團利益訂定合資協議。 命題3-1:國內外法令環境不同,國外投資案的合資協議要比國內的嚴謹。
Recently, the amount of VC’s investment in early stage company (include Seed stage and Start-up stage) is growing. The investment agreement could be seen as part of the self-control risk in the risk management because there is no tangible assets which can be evaluated in early stage. This study explores the ways of negotiation between the VC and the entrepreneurs in terms of investment agreement in the early stage. The case study is used in this research. By in-depth interview one can find out what factors affect the terms of investment agreement in early stage investments, and what kinds of terms should be signed in. Besides, the influence of investing environment and related laws between Taiwan and foreign countries to the agreement will be taken into consideration. This research identifies that nine terms which should be signed in the contracts:equity structure, equity valuation, investment protection, guarantee of the representations and warranties, organization and business management, default remedies, the timing of recalling the investment, anti-dilution adjustments, and liquidity adjustments. The propositions of the factors which affect the investment agreements are also identified and tested.
