Financing high-tech businesses is not something you can
buy off the shelf, like a mortgage for your home. Each project has its
own strengths and weaknesses, scientific background, opportunities and
risks, and of course - people. Worldwide, there are several Thousand
Venture Capitalists. And maybe a handfull of them would be interested
in just your project. The tricky part is to identify them, and get their attention.
If you try to do this alone, you may end up with a Sisyphus-like work.
- Present your story in the right way
Presenting your case may seem a simple task - if you look at it with your own eyes only. But it is by far not trivial, if you consider, how investors look at a project. There are many issues that need to be covered, and be presented in a clear, effective, and convincing way. - Advise you on what type of investor is most likely to be interested in your project
Some investors are more conservative and long-term oriented, than others. They trade in slower growth and a longer time to exit for less risk. Others are willing to take a greater risk, but expect higher returns in a shorter time. Your business model defines what investor is more suited for you. - Target investors who currently have cash and actively are looking to make investments
Investors may spend considerable time to do fundraising themselves. Once this process is completed, the fund will be invested according to pre-fixed criteria.
- Find investors for the respective development stage and total financial need of your company
Investors have internal timelines with regards to the expected return of the fund. Time to exit of your project may become an important criteria. - Put you in direct contact with the respective decision makers, and interact with them
A personally recommended project will receive much more and direct attention. This means, you will receive qualified and direct feed back within days, and be able to learn from it.
We can help you to solve this task, and prepare your documentation - either as a regular document, or - to get even more attention - using the latest technology in multi-media presentations.
Some business models need different solutions than a financing by classical venture capital, like private investors.
There is a minimum, as well as a maximum investment amount per financing round and company. Also, a maximum total investment per company in several subsequent rounds is budgeted - to make sure, the company can reach its goal.
