Where To Find Angel Investors And Venture Capital Firms, Guaranteed!

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Think back to just a few short years ago, banks were on a lending spree, corporate lines of credit were being issued in record volume and companies were able to raise equity and debt capital with reasonable ease; then came the banking crash which unfortunately brought on an entirely new group of scams preyed on the innocent and naive small business owner which damaged the economy that much more.

Scams such as platform based funding, banking instrument collateralized lending, shelf corporation scams and on and on. Fortunately there is a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to some of the venture capital and private equity industry’s talented global finance executives who have decided enough is enough.

Now entrepreneurs are seeing professional collective funding efforts put forth by these seasoned finance gurus in the form of online membership databases which possess some of the best kept secrets in the global funding markets. Many of these databases include finance companies and methods that have never been available to the public and were used for decades by VC professionals who were able to pull off funding miracles on behalf of clients and in return made hefty commissions.

Now, with these unique contacts being placed in database form they are now available to everyone and anyone who needs capital. Imaging going to one website, joining for a modest fee and getting access to thousands upon thousands of private investors, angel investors, venture capital firms, hard money lenders, private equity firms, aggressive hedge fund lenders, Asian and European finance, factoring and other wonderful and easily comprehensive options to acquire capital.

A few of these membership databases have even taken the next step to give the business owners the elements to promote their business in a way that will help them pass due diligence with ease. Some venture capital executives got so fed up with having a client with a great business model, solid infrastructure, exceptional board of directors and even money in the bank but the deal would die when the company went into the due diligence and offer phase that they actually paid programmers to design a download-able application that offers the entrepreneur easy yet extremely powerful publicity with the strength of an actual high end PR firm all at the click of a button, it’s truly amazing.

The economy may not be what it used to be but it has forced the evolution of certain aspects of the financial industry to be more small business and entrepreneur friendly. There is massive funding out there for your company if you take the time to look.

The Art Of Executive Interrogation: How To Hire The Right Executive Every Time

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

If you are taking your company public, expanding your corporation, doing in house cleanup to get rid of dead weight or just filling a C level or VP level position at your company your hiring method should be clear, concise and strategic. You need to take into consideration every intricacy that the individual being interviewed has to be exposed. You need to pay attention to what is said, not said, gestures, verbal intonations and the overall presence of the individual. Here are a few things to take into consideration when hiring an executive. These are elements outside of the resume.

First look at the obvious. Evaluate the overall attire of the individual pay attention to his suit, dress shirt, tie and dress shoes and even the shoe laces. Are his suit, shirt and tie crisp, conservative and pressed? Are his shoes shined, scuff free and are his shoe laces in good condition? When he crosses his legs and his socks are exposed what is the condition of his socks? These things may seem artificial, pretentious and pointless but keep in mind, you are hiring the appearance of the individual as well and most times the clothing condition and selection tell us a lot about the subconscious activity and mindset of the individual. Do they pay close attention to detail? Do they have a clean presence? These things are ‘tells’ every time the executive stands before a client or panel.

Next the interview, obviously you’ve gone over their resume and checked references before you even bring them in for a serious interview so let’s go past the general inquires that go along with an executive interview. You need to evaluate their intellectual and emotional fitness by getting right to the point. How much do they know about your company? Finding out how much they’ve researched the company will demonstrate their level of motivation in becoming part of the team with a focus on contribution. The strongest candidate will come into an interview ready to define their role and express the realities of what they bring to the table in the form of contacts and intellectual capital.

Ask them, in their own words, from their own research, where they see the company in 5 years with them in a leadership position. Ask them to give an example of 5 to 10 strategic alliances they have planned for the company and what that will contribute to the bottom line of the company. What expansion experience do they have? Ask them what makes a company in your position better or worse for being public or private and have them elaborate. Ask them to critique the top executives of the company and how they would reorganize the company if they had their way. Get past the artificial nature of educational pedigree and ask them about their professional pedigree and how it has prepared them to join your corporate team.

Now during this process pay close attention to their physical gestures and take notes. As you’re asking them questions look for their subconscious movements that they are using to communicate. Look for gestures that demonstrate confidence, arrogance, insecurity. Are they sitting back in their chair when they are talking (if so they are too comfortable, a qualified executive will be sitting up straight without letting his back rest on the chair, you on the other hand should be relaxed and sitting back). Are their legs crossed? Are they using their hands? Is their forehead crinkled or calm? Are they making use of a strong vocabulary that can strengthen their presentation etc?

Hiring the proper executive for a specific role in the company can be challenging but using the process above to help weed through the poor candidates will help you in securing the perfect candidate.

Taking Company Public – Expansion Consultants – Political Dirt Bags & Institutional Finance Vampires – Read Now

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

The Catastrophic Annihilation of intellect by ‘no child left behind’ and political correctness make our children sitting ducks to the debilitating and mind numbing triggers of our self proclaimed ‘betters’. Sly as foxes and cunning as the crow your local politicians work hand in hand with the gods and monsters in the imperial system of numbers on a screen (fractional reserve lending). When you take a loan from an institutional lender and sign on the line or when you vote for that regional senator or politician and don’t stay on top of their agenda you are pinning the hands of our children behind their backs and marching them, one after the other, off the cliff to their doom.

I loathe anti-establishment hippies who have a mortgage and credit card with top tier banks, these fraudulent ‘tree huggers for hire’ are a major reason we are in this mess. Outwardly they act as if they despise the establishment yet behind closed doors they enable a system that desecrates on the souls of our youth.

To be able to change the system, one must first become part of the system. The problem with blending into the system with intent to change things is that most aren’t strong enough to turn a blind eye to the corruption that absolute power brings.

It’s common knowledge that politicians philander and survive on the take of corruption. They kiss babies, take their picture with supporters but behind closed doors their vampire traits come to the surface as these behind closed doors agendas strip the rights of the people of this country but you just stand there and do nothing. Sign on the dotted line, get that loan for your business and hang our children up to dry, it’s all so easy. Here is an idea, take the power from the politicians and crooked institutional bloodsuckers and take the fate of your company in your own hands. If you have a real viable business offer it up to the people.

I am forever ringing this bell and standing on the soapbox screaming this concept to whoever will listen, “You, reader, do not need a bank to fund your company”. What is it about this concept that you don’t understand. I’m not telling you to lobby venture capital firms that would demand a pound of flesh for every dollar they put into your company. There is a much easier way. You have, at your disposal two concepts that can transform your world in an instant while building massive wealth for your children: Private Placement Memorandums and Over The Counter Bulletin Boards.

A PPM allows you to stay within SEC guidelines while selling an equity interest in your company to investors for cash and services. You would be shocked at how effective this process can be for raising capital. But take it one step forward. You’ve raised money to expand your business now stabilize your corporation by going public on the OTCBB. Hire a consultant who can structure your company properly in a way that is conducive to attracting serious investors pre public.

Pay close attention to your board of directors, advisory board, C level executive pedigree and last but not least have an investor relations strategy in place that could choke a horse! Publicity, press releases, stock alerts, radio expert panel interviews and more. Plaster the bulletin board market with your message but be sure to stay within promotion compliance. Do this and you will tear the keys that hold your future from the rusty poisonous talons of bankers and do nothing politicians and you’ll place the keys of prosperity and financial freedom to those who deserve it; you, your family and your employees and of course the investors that helped you get there.

Tell your local politician and banker to take a hike, seek Christ and repent and whenever you vote for a political scumbag in the future, hold them to every word and call them on every lie and make it as public as possible! I will now step off my soapbox.

Take Your Business Public: How To Find a Consultant That Can Make The Process Easy

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you’re entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month roller-coaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.

Just and honest consultants in the ‘public offering’ industry are as rare as the illusive white elephant. This industry exists in a cesspool surrounded by rose gardens; from afar it looks amazing and an image of a dreamland but get up and close and the sludge and odor are enough to make you run and hide. So what do you look for in a consultant? The best consulting firms are the ’boutique firms’ with minimal overhead that keep a low profile and are made up of 3 or 4 ‘partner’ consultants.

These firms typically have the experience of working with the large consulting groups but for one reason or another have decided to leave and go out on their own. The great thing is, these small groups typically have massive contacts and process your entire public offering in-house. Offering a complete turn-key solution that is managed in-house offers a huge advantage because there is accountability and you can actually build a relationship with the people that are making your dream of a public offering come true.

These ’boutique’ consultants will usually stay on board as growth consultants for the life of the company in exchange for modest fees and a pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB equity position. The large firms will hack you out at the knees and gouge you with fees while they take massive amounts of equity in your company which takes away your bartering chip when you need to offer more stock to the public to raise capital.

The small firms will also work one on one with you to show you how to use your stock to grow through acquisition and other nifty ways to use stock to grow. Seek out the boutique consulting firm and save the attorney for spot audits. Hold on to your cash. Why pay outrageous fees to lawyers when you can pay 60% less with a small consulting firm that will add all the bells and whistles for free and actually get your stock trading, usually in half the time?

Take Your Company Public The Easy Way

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

When raising funding, most likely investors will want their equity distribution in an SEC recognized format like a Private Placement Memorandum, also known as a PPM. This structure makes use of one of the three Regulation D exemptions stemming from the Securities Act of’33.

The three common exemption rules are Regulation D (Reg D) Rule 504, Rule 505 and Rule 506. These rules carry multiple criteria that assist businesses in raising equity or debt funding without all the stringent legalities of an IPO. These rules are defined like this: Rule 506 provides an exemption for limited offers and sales without regard to the dollar amount of the offering.

This exemption does not limit the number of accredited investors, but the number of non-accredited investors may not exceed 35 investors. (An accredited investor is any one investor with a certain net worth and or experience in the purchase of stocks.) All non-accredited purchasers, either alone or together with a designated representative must be sophisticated enough (i.e., have the knowledge and experience necessary) to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment. (An offering company typically determines the sophistication of its investors with a questionnaire subscription agreement.)

Regulation D Rule 506 requires accurately detailed disclosure of relevant information to potential investors; the extent of disclosure depends on the dollar size of the offering. Rule 505 offerings may not exceed $5 million, less the total dollar amount of securities sold during the preceding 12 month period under Rule 504, Rule 505 or Section 3 of the act. This exemption limits the number of non-accredited investors to 35 but has no investor sophistication standards. Rule 505 requires disclosure similar to that required for Rule 506 offerings, under $7.5 million.

Regulation D Rule 504 offerings allow a company to raise a maximum of $1 million in funding, less the total dollar amount of securities sold during the preceding 12 month period, under Rule 504, Rule 505 or Section 3 of the act. However, a business can raise only $500,000 by the sale of securities to persons residing in the states of Montana and Alaska, which have no disclosure laws applicable to the offering. For states that do have disclosure laws, which are 48 out of the 50 states, a business can raise up to $1,000,000. Rule 504 has no prescribed disclosure requirements, no limit on the number of purchasers, and no investor sophistication standards. So if you’re trying to raise capital using a Private Placement Memorandum, use the above criteria as a cliff-note and as long as you stay within SEC guidelines, fund raising for your company will be simple.

Real Funding Takes Strategy. Get It Together or Give it Up Before You Try!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Whether you’re trying to raise debt or equity capital there are still certain unwritten rules that apply that cater to the mentality of today’s investor and funding community. Certainly there are scores of private placement memorandum and business plan chop shops that wouldn’t know how to properly consult with your company or write a fundable document even if they wanted to but they will gladly take your money to throw together a template and try to pass it off as custom work.

The issue is this, it’s not necessarily the consultant, though these fly-by-nights shoulder a large portion of the blame, but the client usually doesn’t even have the proper structure in place to attract a funding source even if they had the most incredible PPM and business ever to hit the venture capital marketplace. Here is a simple (very basic) way to evaluate your company to find out if you are properly structured to attract capital. Have a corporate meeting and ask yourselves the following questions: What type of corporate structure do you have and why did you choose that particular structure? Break down your executive infrastructure, where do your individual executives stand in your industry, do the unthinkable, Google everyone’s names; are the people running your company real industry players? Are all the basic positions accounted for (president, CFO, controller etc)? Next, look at your advisory board and board of directors. If by some miraculous act of God you actually have these two groups represented in your company, how did you qualify them? Sorry but if you have an attorney on your board because he’s, um…well, an attorney, that’s not good enough.

You need an industry specific legal guru who not only spells out the intricacies of your business genre’s regulation but they must also be actively qualifying potential strategic partnerships as alliances for your company. He should be reaching into his client base and actively picking companies that could enhance your company in distribution or in any other way that will have a profitable outcome for all involved. Each of the members must be serving a similar purpose.

Next, on what criteria are you basing your share price or loan amount? If you don’t have a clear cut ‘use of proceeds’ model, you need one. This and many, many other questions need to be asked before you are actually ready to raise capital and in all reality, until your corporate structure is in place you shouldn’t even attempt to write a business plan or a private placement memorandum. If you are serious about setting up your company to attract investors you need a turnaround consultant, you can’t do this on your own. There is an entire industry that centers around structuring companies for their first and ongoing capital raise.

Before you blackball your company by prematurely attempting to raise capital, the critical concepts you need to keep in mind are (precisely in this order): corporate structure, infrastructure, advisory board, board of directors, use of proceeds, business plan, private placement memorandum, investor finder, funding. Look at each aspect listed here as its own item, break it down and analyze every minute aspect of each element and look at everything objectively and eventually your company will evolve into a structure that is fundable and stabilized for years to come.

Public Companies and the Power of Good Publicity Marketing

Friday, December 18th, 2009

The process of bringing in huge amounts of powerful publicity to increase brand awareness and client conversion rate while simultaneously increasing client satisfaction can easily be achieved in just a few steps.

To start off you need to understand that publicity and marketing are actually the same thing because the former, if done properly, achieves both branding and client conversion. A business that is trying to raise awareness of a particular brand or product must first realize the cynical mind of today’s buyer.

Before a business owner can prompt a potential client to buy, you must first create company legitimacy. Legitimacy can be induced by using online methods such as web commercial uploads to video hosting sites, helpful article submissions, social and news bookmarking that answers questions for potential customers as well as video and audio pod-casting.

These methods should assist the potential client by answering their questions and informing them of their options as opposed to a ringing sales pitch. By offering free information which will assist future customers with helpful, insider information will create a buzz about your company which will increase market share and sales conversion because you are proving that you are the powerhouse in the industry.

You’re demonstrating to future customers that you are more concerned with holding their hand and guiding them through the tumultuous obstacles of making the buying decision based off of industry facts than a sales pitch. An informed client is the best client which will increase customer retention.

You may find that as you start achieving sales with this new concept, your customers are more informed therefore their expectations are positioned properly which will lead to more client satisfaction.

Using this concept you’ll never have to worry about the time consuming maintenance of having to satisfy the inappropriate demands of an uninformed client.

Inform those seeking your services before trying to sell them, you’ll find that the sales process is more streamlined and your customer satisfaction will shoot through the roof. There is no other sales or branding method more powerful than this.

Take Your Company Public and Get Through Due Diligence Fast With A Good Publicist

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Think about it, if you’re making the costly mistake of paying your publicist to pitch radio, print media and television executives to give you a minute and insignificant slot in their barrage of media hodgepodge so you can go in, swallow your pride, look like an idiot to the masses then walk away with your tail tucked between your legs it’s time to wake up and experience the cutting edge hybrid publicity marketer and all the power that goes with it.

Truth be told today’s reality is that the industries of the publicist and the advertising firm have merged into one, crystal clear beacon of light that has transformed the promotional industry forever. Publicity marketers are a very small and difficult to find group of online promotion guerillas that blast the internet with everything that the search engine craves and more so that your company comes up over and over again on the natural search results for industry specific keyword phrases that demand attention.

There are no spam or black hat methods at work. Publicity marketers grew up as personal computers became popular and were in college in the’90’s during the internet boom. These were the guys that kept companies moving after the tech crash and soon, their services became valuable to venture capital firms with IPOs to publicize, viral media to cater to the promotional needs of video game and film companies with a new hit and corporations that needed rapid reputation repair or solutions to a hostile competitor that was taking more than it’s share of a niche market.

The publicity marketer has the creative capacity to plunge his hands into the on the emotional programming of the consumer while simultaneously and gently cornering them in a way to trigger that internal buying mechanism that exists in the subconscious mind of everyone. Real publicity marketers can take any company, concept or brand and make it an online sensation in a very short time.

Publicity marketers are the new generation, web 2.0 promotional guru. If you’re still paying separate companies for your publicity and advertising needs, it’s time to track down a publicity marketer for one, ultra-powerful, turnkey solution that will start generating results immediately.

Need Funding? Start With a Private Placement Memorandum for a Cheap Head Start

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Take Your Company Public: Reverse Mergers, A Painful Lesson So, your company is ready for that next step and you’ve decided to take the dive into the world of public offerings and global fund raising. You imagine investors waiting with bated breath for your company to announce it’s share price and release shares for purchase. You’re imagining swarms of broker dealers clambering and falling all over themselves to promote your stock to their massive investor database while you sit back and fill your company’s coffers with millions in capital that will launch your corporation into the realm of superstardom and hemorrhaging expansion. You start to search the internet and come across ad after ad that promotes the idea that you could save $100,000’s if you buy a public shell and reverse merge your company with it, saving you time and money, resulting in achieving a public structure in only a few weeks. Buyer beware!

Reverse mergers into public shell companies is a process that rarely works and if, by some act of God, it is successful you still have countless issues to deal with that could crush your ability to succeed in an instant. Companies that sell shell companies and facilitate public offerings via reverse merger often have many fleas attached to the structure such as the fact that they retain 10% to 25%+ of the company’s shares that they can pump and dump anytime, resulting in a black eye to investors who see your stock plummet, resulting in almost certain bankruptcy and company failure.

Another prominent issue with this type of transaction is that usually the shell company has a complicated history of litigation and liens that you absorb when you merge and if this is the case you’ll spend all your time in ongoing legal battles as your company bankroll is spent on righting the wrongs of the previous owners. We could go on for days about the downside of reverse mergers into public shells but the moral of this story is, ‘do your homework’.

If you are trying to take your startup or small business public, take the extra steps (you’ll actually save money) and look into OTCBB, a legitimate, quick and long lasting way to take your company public without the drawbacks and definite complications of reverse mergers. You can take your company public via OTCBB for less than $100k and there are usually several ways to finance this process so you have minimal out of pocket expense.

Going public is easy when you team up with the right consultants that will help you bypass the dead ends and concepts that will take up your time and cripple your resources.

Investor Database. Where Are The Best Databases?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

As the economy worsens it’s getting more and more difficult to fund business ventures. After you’ve gone through the basics of a well written business plans and a private placement memorandum, where do you go from there? One issue that entrepreneurs come into is that they will get stuck on a link wheel that keeps them bouncing from one scam site to the next and they can waste months chasing after investment capital and at the end of the day have nothing but an empty bank account to show for it.

The latest and greatest scams are the omnipresent ’shelf corp.’ or ‘aged corp.’ scam which claims to be able to get you hundreds of thousands of dollars of credit based off of a phony D and B rating and a credit score based off of bogus trade lines. This is an expensive scam, with most of these shelf corporations running anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000. The reality is, you can’t get funding with a shelf corp. No one has or ever will get funding from this fraudulent concept. Another scam is the ‘forgivable loan’ program that is supposedly based in some offshore platform trading process where it allows a company to loan millions of dollars to an individual based off of the humanitarian aspects of their business model, oh, I forgot to mention, they usually require a mandatory cash deposit equal to 20% of the amount of the forgivable loan.

It sounds crazy but professionals that become desperate for funding fall into this trap all the time. The truth is, there are ways to get funding with a credit check using a private placement memorandum and there are companies out there that will make a loan to a company based mostly in the strength of their business process. Actually, if you have a good business model and a solid executive staff there are many companies that will give you money such as accredited investors, private investors, private equity firms, hard money lenders, SBLC collateralize lenders among others.

Just do some research under terms like: list of investors, list of private investors, list of hard money lenders, investor database, list of venture capital firms, private money lenders directory, investor list etc. and find some of the newer online databases that have come into existence within the past year or so. These sites are valuable because they came online when the economy was at it’s lowest point so their funding sources are composed of innovative global contacts that are actually lending in this fickle economic environment and not the oblivious land of yesteryear.

Things have changed and the process of raising capital is more difficult than ever. Arm yourself with a good business plan, strategic PPM and a solid online investor database to raise capital quickly and easily.

Visit a real global Investor Finder Service, This site has over 20,000 incredible funding contacts that will help you get funding fast and without the headaches. For Private Investors, Angel Investors, Venture Capital Firms andAccredited Investors
