The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.

Written up from the same chapter

• Cash BurnThe rate at which a start-up spends its cash — set against the money in the bank, it says how many months of runway are left before the next round has to close.
• CIV schemeA separate one-deal scheme of a Category I or II AIF through which accredited investors of that scheme co-invest alongside the fund in a single investee company, without a portfolio manager registration.
• Compliance Test ReportThe annual self-certification an AIF manager prepares in SEBI's prescribed format, testing the fund against the AIF Regulations and routed through the sponsor and trustee for comment.
• Customer Acquisition CostThe average cost of winning one new customer — read against customer lifetime value, it says whether a start-up is buying revenue at a profit or at a loss.
• Full RatchetThe harshest anti-dilution formula: after a down round, the earlier investor's preference shares convert at the lowest price the company has issued at, as though it had invested at that price all along.
• Investor Due DiligenceThe investigation an investor runs on an AIF and its manager before committing capital — the process of investigation and evaluation into the details of a potential investment.
