Firecat Technology functions as a coordinator for provision of Capital to new technology ventures and startups. Unlike venture (vulture) capital providers, our sources have realistic expectations and a more personal approach to the money sourcing question.
Things we look for in a prospective situation:
1. Are there patents to support the technology behind the need for funding?
2. Does the technology offer vertical market potential?
3. Is the market potential at least $ 50 Million in sales per year?
4. Has a business plan been developed?
5. What is the exit strategy for investors? Future IPO planned? Preferred loan basis?
6. The length of time you have been searching for funding.
7. The scope of potential strategic business alliances.
8. The people involved in the project: the inventors, board, and management.
9. What incentives (equity, stock) are available to the investor?
If you are tired of beating down doors to secure financing or if you don't want to get swallowed-up as a result of process, give us a call. Contact Firecat about the needs for your venture. Please have the answers to the above items 1 thru 9 ready for discussion.
Several modes of activity can be supported including:
+ Prospecting for private "angel" investors (wealth from similar technology areas)
+ Interfacing with financial trusts whereby your project enhances their portfolio
+ Use of the project to supply the gearing for a trade program
+ Structuring licensing arrangements to leverage capital
+ Exploration of potential strategic business alliances
+ Use of standing letters of credit to secure financing
+ Corporate and/or Government capital sourcing possibilities
+ Coordination of contacts to fund by Capital Investment Programs
Get on with it. A very dear friend in search of funding likened the process to "kissing frogs," in the hope a contact would turn into the sought prince to fund his venture. Stop kissing frogs ! Contact Firecat |
