Is there a reason you don't have a portfolio of your past investments listed on the site?

The reason is that we are not a real VC. We are a family office. All the money is invested by my partner Xavier Niel only. So it's like an individual investing anywhere.

Hello Malcom I'm the Kima Ventures cofounder. To answer one of your questions, 45% of our startups raised a new round after a Kima investment. Our term sheet is completely standard and most VCs are always happy to see that a Shareholders agreement is already in place PS: We just invested for the first time in Australia using Kima15 Best regards, Jeremie Berrebi http://card.biz/jberrebi On Saturday, December 28, 2013 11:49:16 AM UTC+2, Malcolm Lambert wrote: Kima Ventures has an interesting funding model they call Kima15 - US$150,000 investment for 15% and a 15 day turn-around of funding applications. For their Kima15 investments they have a non-negotiable Term Sheet which can be seen here http://www.kima15.com/ The terms would add significant complexity to a start-up with a simple share structure but I'm wondering if that sort of complexity is inevitable for companies growing via investment. If anyone has experience (from entrepreneur or investor point of view) and would like to comment: Are the Kima15 terms similar to what local investors would ask for? Would investors in following rounds be discouraged by the Kima15 terms or would it be expected that a Seed round investor will have those terms?
