Capital Formation
We often take a central role in developing financing strategies for our clients and source funds from angels, private equity, and venture capital
Entrepreneurs are special; daring to create something out of nothing. Often driven by passion and dedication, these business leaders create value for customers, employees, and shareholders.
Entrepreneurs have proven to be the movers and shakers within the business world. Some of the biggest companies to emerge in the last decade were born from entrepreneurship including Microsoft, Google, Dell, Yahoo, Apple, EBay, Amazon, FedEx, and Vonage. While every one of these companies started with an entrepreneurial idea and a passion to create something new, each has also required capital to change the way we communicate, use technology, shop for goods and services, or find and exchange information. The resultant successes, brought about by a combination of entrepreneurial drive, extraordinary execution, and proper capitalization have changed the world.
Venture Capital & Angel Investors: Adding Value to Your Company
Having a great idea or even a great product when combined with sweat equity and perseverance go a long way, but they can only get you so far. Writing the next chapter, taking the next step, whether you are a start up or a growing company often requires capital. At some point, for nearly every business effort, you will require private equity investment to make your vision and company grow. Moreover, while a firm may face tough decisions and difficult challenges with incumbent resources, raising capital may not fit neatly into the skills and resources you developed to pursue your business. That’s where we can help.
The Vérto Group has through its financings, mergers, acquisitions, and initial public offerings developed a network of sources for private equity, venture capital, and angel investment. Our sources focus their investment strategy on seed (AA), early stage (A or B round), and mezzanine opportunities.
Most of our investment network expects to take the lead on an investment, secure a seat on the company’s board, and play an active role in helping management succeed.
