Pros
and
cons
of
the
two
financings
for
Entrepreneur
r
Pro
CN
-
CNs
do
not
require anyone
to come
up
with
a
valuation
now
-
CNs
allow
entrepreneur
to
get
higher
valuation
later.
-
CNs
do
not
give
up
control.
r
Pro
CP
-
By
pricing
round,
entrepreneurs
and
investors
are
aligned.
>
Both
want
higher
valuation
next
round.
)
With
CN,
investors
may
want a
lower
valuation
in next
round
in
order
to
increase
the
number
of
shares
they
get.
*
Some
investors
will
not
participate
