Properly Engineer Your Company to Attract Financial & Human Capital, while Maintaining the Vast Majority of Equity Ownership and Voting Control.
Most start-up and early stage companies sell too much of their common equity too early for too little. We show you how to keep the vast majority of equity ownership and voting control, by creating and selling hybrid securities in compliance with federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations.
Most Companies Never Close a Round. Here’s Why.
Collectively, venture capital and private equity firms fund less than 0.05% of startups and less than 1.5% of early-stage companies seeking investment. For the small fraction that do receive Venture Capital (VC), the founders collectively receive less than 2% of all venture capital available, and more often than not, they lose voting control of their company.
By the end of 2025, global capital overhang reached $3.7 trillion, stale capital from funds unable to find quality companies to invest in. VC firms will have to return trillions to their investors due to a lack of quality deal flow.
The problem isn’t a lack of capital. It’s a lack of companies engineered to receive it.
The Funding Desert
Start-ups receiving Venture Capital (VC) capture less than 2% of all venture capital available. Those who do get funded frequently surrender voting control, too much equity, too early, for too little.
$3.7 Trillion Sitting Idle
Institutional investors are forcing VC firms to return capital because there aren’t enough quality companies to invest in. The gap is not supply, it is quality deal flow.
The Structural Deficiency
Most founders lack the securities law knowledge, capital structure expertise, and corporate engineering skills to create a Wall Street-worthy offering. That is what we fix.
We Create Quality Deal Flow for Wall Street
Our job is to position your company to become the “quality deal flow” all institutional investors seek. Why? Because companies that conduct securities offerings through Wall Street Investment Banks (aka “Broker-Dealers”) have a 72% success rate, raising all of the capital sought. Properly engineered companies that conduct securities offerings through broker dealers attract venture capital and corporate acquisition investments, as well because those companies are properly vetted by the broker-dealer.
