This included 1) securing a debt round from an NBFC to to alleviate immediate cash flow constraints, 2) optimizing the capital structure using a convertible note round with existing investors, and 3) a subsequent institutional VC round. This approach solidified the client's financial position for renewed growth.
Problem: Early equity dilution left founders with sub-optimal ownership, hindering VC attraction
Solution: Juniper collaborated with leading tax and legal advisors to craft a multistage clawback structure for the client, secured by the continued support of their angel investors. This solution ensured optimal founder shareholding in future funding rounds while rewarding the angels for their early investment. Utilizing appropriate equity instruments, Juniper meticulously addressed potential tax implications for the founders and angel investors. The resulting shareholding structure paved the way for the client's successful first institutional funding round.
Problem: Client aimed to unlock value from a global portfolio of products and brands to fuel growth*

(*This case study is from Founder's previous role)Problem: A high-growth startup faced investor skepticism. Their innovative product and distribution model generated initial traction in one city, but investors doubted its scalability beyond that market*.

By analyzing client data, the key factors driving success in the first city were identified and refined. This refined model provided a framework for evaluating scalability in similar markets. Additionally, with management collaboration detailed financial models were built simulating various distribution scenarios. This comprehensive analysis eliminated investor doubts and paved the way for a landmark deal securing a premium valuation nearly double the original offer.
(*This case study is from Founder's previous role)Problem: A cross-border M&A deal for our client teetered on collapse. Disparate state regulations regarding asset transfer created a valuation chasm, while poor intellectual property (IP) documentation sparked buyer fears of losing valuable knowledge*.
Solution: Juniper's founder, armed with industry expertise, devised ingenious mechanisms (based on best practices) to ensure a smooth IP transfer. This included ongoing support from client management, effectively plugging the knowledge drain and assuaging buyer concerns. Leveraging the expertise of leading tax advisors and specialized legal teams from relevant Indian states, a multi-phased asset restructuring was implemented. This not only ensured regulatory and tax compliance but also achieved the precise asset demarcation desired by both parties. Through this strategic asset restructuring, we bridged the valuation gap and steered the M&A deal towards a successful conclusion.
