Creating a more efficient market: Investing in, and connecting,
seed stage startups
with the VC community and strategic investors
| Entrepreneurs | Early Stage Investors | VCs & Strategics | ||
| Require a less fragmented market of investors' capital for value-add seed stage investing where founders can raise an appropriate amount of Series A financing while selling less initial equity in each startup idea or company. | Require a more direct and focused approach to qualified clean tech and seed stage deal flow, with greater control/visibility into company operations, board representation, VC-like term sheets, and available follow-on capital. | Seek enhanced deal flow for Series B and C financings -- with clean capital structures, developed technologies, and strong business plans/ financial models where they can place larger sums of capital. |
