Lo Mío Es Tuyo: Financing Growth
一家墨西哥二手商品零售公司面临融资选择：是向风险投资基金出售股权以快速扩张，还是依靠现有股东增资以保持控制权。案例帮助创业者评估融资时机与增长风险。
This case focuses on two Mexican entrepreneurs whose secondhand product retail company has reached a point where they must decide whether to sell an equity stake to a venture capital fund (VCF) or request an equity contribution from existing shareholders. The VCF would ensure opening 40 stores in 2 years and a dramatic boost in the business, whereas contributions from existing shareholders would slow the company's growth but would avoid equity dilution. Is this the right moment for venture capital funding, or is it better to wait to improve the company's financial performance? What are the risks of growing slowly?
