From Idea to IPO
Venture-Net Partners specialize in private equity offerings for start-up and
other early-stage ventures.
Our Mission
Our mission is to facilitate the capitalization and development of viable business opportunities from start-up through a successful initial public offering or acquisition by a publicly-traded company. Our Market
During calendar year 2007, U.S. venture capital funds invested a total of $29.4 billion in 3,813 deals, an increase of 10.8 percent over 2006 levels and the highest total dollar amount since 2001 according to The MoneyTree Report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association based on data from Thompson Financial.
Despite the financial turmoil precipitated by the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
fueled sub-prime mortgage fiasco of 2008, total U.S. venture capital activity
still exceeded $28 billion for the year.
Following the election of the
least market liberal president in U.S. history, venture capital activity
plummeted to $17.7 billion in 2009, a 37 percent decline from 2008 and the
lowest level since 1997.
Our Point-of-View
Although this is the most
challenging market of the past 10 years, availability of capital is not the
problem. In terms of dollars invested on an annual basis, the VC industry is
still more than double what it was just 15 years ago. The challenge lies in developing a credible and attractive offering and then selling the deal.
