We
are seasoned entrepreneurs who know what it takes to develop
a company concept, write a compelling plan, pitch the company
to the right financiers, and secure an optimal funding scenario.
We are not bankers. We have built companies from scratch,
and we know what it takes. When the grenades are flying, we
don't freak out. We find a way to make them stop.
We've
been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, sent the postcard
- you get the idea.
Having
teamed with some highly successful startups, large and small,
we've worked with deeply experienced entrepreneurs, as well
as brilliant kids still in school. We work with whomever fits
our profile and clicks with us. It's not about money. It's
about relationships. Exceptional relationships foster exceptional
companies, with exceptional returns.
