What Are You Looking For?

We are passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship.

Private Equity

Equity investment in early stage businesses involves sharing ownership in ways that must be agreed upon in each case. Although private equity is different from public company equity, there are still many regulations to be complied with. These investments can sometimes provide high returns; however, there is high risk and low liquidity, requiring a level of expertise for success.

Angel Investor

An angel investor is anyone who invests his or her money in an entrepreneurial company. This differs from institutional venture capitalists, who invest other people’s money.

Co-Investor

Early stage companies may justify investments larger than a single early stage investor can provide. That is when two or more investors may cooperate in investing. This means working together in both raising funds, sharing expertise, and diligently investigating investment opportunities.

Partner in Growth

Entrepreneurs need advice and confidentiality in planning and operating their businesses. A “value-added” investor can provide invaluable support in many ways more than funds alone.
