About our firm
We assist VC firms in two valuable ways. First, we help find funding
sources for their existing portfolio companies. This includes
securing that elusive "Lead Investor" that is so critical for the
funding process to proceed. Our extensive industry and personal
contacts allow us to shorten the time to funding and allows their
portfolio companies to get back to work building products instead of
trying to raise money. Secondly, we provide selected firms with
quality deal-flow and introductions to startups that are often not
on the radar screen. By knowing who is investing in what, we again
shorten the time to funding for the startup.
We assist startup companies in several ways. The most critical is to
find sources of working capital that would otherwise be unavailable
to them. This process can only be successful if the company has a
good business plan, quality team and a go-to-market strategy that
passes the litmus test. In many cases, this requires significant
positioning work, help with bottoms-up sales forecasting, and in
many cases, the hiring of key talent. All of these requirements can
be addressed with assistance from Venture Crossing and by using our
personal contacts and many years of experience to help guide the
way.
