The Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate (DBNER) is a measure of how much a company’s customer base is growing in terms of the value of the products or services it sells. It is calculated by dividing the total value of new business generated by the company over a given period of time by the total value of its existing business at the start of that period.

For example, let’s say a company has existing customers who spend a total of $100,000 on its products or services each year. In a given year, the company adds new customers who spend a total of $50,000 on its products or services. The company’s DBNER for that year would be 50%, since the new business it generated was equal to half of its existing business. This metric is useful for tracking a company’s growth over time and comparing its performance to that of other businesses in the same industry.

Double-Trigger Acceleration is a provision in a contract that allows for the acceleration of vesting of stock options or other equity-based compensation in the event of certain specified events. This type of acceleration typically occurs when there are two trigger events, such as a change in control of the company followed by the termination of the employee’s employment.

For example, let’s say an employee has stock options that vest over a period of four years. Under the terms of the employee’s contract, the vesting of the options will accelerate if there is a change in control of the company and the employee is terminated within a certain period of time after the change in control.

In this case, the employee would be entitled to vest all of their remaining options immediately, rather than waiting for them to vest over the remaining vesting period. Double-Trigger Acceleration is often included in contracts to provide employees with additional protection in the event of a corporate change that could negatively impact their employment.

EBITDA is an acronym that stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. It is a measure of a company’s profitability that is calculated by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses to its net income.

For example, let’s say a company has net income of $100,000, interest expense of $10,000, tax expense of $20,000, depreciation expense of $5,000, and amortization expense of $1,000. The company’s EBITDA would be $100,000 + $10,000 + $20,000 + $5,000 + $1,000 = $136,000.

EBITDA is often used as an alternative to net income because it provides a more comprehensive view of a company’s underlying performance, since it excludes items that can vary greatly from one company to another, such as interest expense and tax rates.

An Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) is a position within a company or organization that is typically held by an experienced entrepreneur who has been brought in to help the organization develop new products or services, or to improve its existing ones. EIRs are often hired on a temporary basis and are expected to bring their expertise and knowledge of the market to the organization. In many cases, an EIR will work closely with the company’s leadership team and other employees to identify new opportunities for growth and to help the organization develop strategies to capitalize on them. EIRs may also provide mentorship and guidance to younger entrepreneurs within the organization. The goal of having an EIR is typically to help the organization become more innovative and competitive, and to drive growth.

An expense is a cost that a company incurs in order to generate revenue. Expenses are recorded on a company’s income statement and are subtracted from its revenues to determine its net income.

Examples of expenses include the cost of raw materials, labor, utilities, advertising, rent, insurance, and taxes. Expenses are an important factor in a company’s profitability, as they reduce the amount of revenue that is available as profit. Managing expenses is therefore a crucial part of financial management, as it can help a company to improve its profitability and maximize its value.
