Venture Capital
And Commercial Equity Funding

Venture capital is for those situations where a business is not likely, in its present condition, to get funding from traditional sources, but could with sufficient financing, yield great near-future returns for funding sources.

Venture capital is risk capital. Because venture capital funding sources are looking for unusually high profitability, this form of equity funding is difficult for most businesses to obtain. They simply cannot meet the potential financial requirements of most venture capitalists. Even if they did, most entrepreneurs usually lack the ability by themselves to “get the doors open”.

The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates there are approximately 22.9 million small businesses in the United States, but only a miniscule few ever get on the radar screens of institutional venture capitalists.

Of the applicants to the venture capital process, about half get lackluster results or totally fail, while almost all of the other half will produce 20-25% annual returns if they are lucky.  Venture sources want much better results from their "winners”. This is why less than 1% of all applicants to traditional "venture" capital sources ever get any institutional money!

Many businesses with funding needs that cannot easily be met through traditional sources turn to CAPS Interactive Corp. for help. CAPS Interactive is an intermediary in the funding process and its workers, consultants, and affiliated staff have track records for helping small businesses with good profit potential find venture capital funding sources.  Our contacts are far reaching and so is our expertise.

The How and Why Of Successful Equity Funding

Luckily, institutional venture capitalists are not the only source of equity funding. Roughly 90% of venture funding gets done through other resources. But locating these resources on your own is time consuming, and getting them to agree to look at your executive summary or business plan  can be nearly impossible without an introduction. (Unsolicited business plans and executive summaries are usually tossed out or returned without being read.) If you do get a funding source to look at your executive summary or plan, all your efforts will be in vain if you do not present your "story" in a way that makes the funding source want to open their wallet.

If you get past all of these roadblocks, then you still must negotiate a deal that makes them want to work with you without giving away your family jewels. Of course while you are doing all this, you are still keeping your business going and putting out any "fires" that may be occurring.

CAPS Interactive uses its expertise and contacts to help businesses with good profit potential hurdle obstacles and present their stories to equity funding sources.  The help we offer depends on your company's condition, needs, and profit potential. On a very basic level, we give companies our opinion on what must be done or changed to acquire the equity funding they are seeking. In many cases we also help businesses find the funding that they need to take their business where they want it to go.  We could potentially help your company in similar ways.
