Georgetown Venture Partners LLP (GVP) is a technology corporate finance boutique with strong domain expertise in information technology, communications and cleantech. World class companies seeking to complete an Initial Public Offering (IPO) hire an investment bank to manage this process. Smart technology companies hire GVP to raise venture capital and private equity growth capital. We provide management consulting and investment banking services to this early stage segment of the market. We also work with partners to help sell companies playing an active role in sell-side Mergers & Acquisitions. We have raised funds for clients in the US, Scandinavia and Europe. We are different from most corporate finance boutiques because we are technical entrepreneurs that add value to the companies we work with. We play a very hands on VC-type role often taking a seat on the board and recruiting other members to the board and management team before going for funding. We typically contribute to our clients' strategies with creative new ideas combining technology and a CEO network and then leverage strong established relationships with VCs and private equity investors in the US, the UK and Scandinavia as well as select European funds and strategic corporate investors.

E-Synergy was founded in 1999 by four technology entrepreneurs as an independent venture capital firm focusing on early stage technology. We believe that to be successful in early stage technology companies, investors must bring more than just capital to the table. The founding directors have over 50 years experience themselves as CEOs of technology development and licensing companies. This considerable expertise combined with the financial and VC experience of the E-Synergy investment team enables us to take a hands on approach to investing and leverage real value from the capital we provide. E-Synergy currently manages the £30m Sustainable Technology Fund, a UK based LP fund. Typically we invest £500k to £2m, alone or in syndicated rounds, allocating some additional capital for follow-on financing. We also manage a number of earlier stage funds including:

SpringBank TechVentures is a 2001 vintage Venture Capital Fund focused on venture and private equity investments in the financing rounds of companies involved in developing the enabling technologies, infrastructure and services to support the growth sectors of wireless, software, Internet and telecommunications. While being opportunistic in all these sectors, the General Partner has developed some very unique strengths within the wireless sector. One of SpringBank TechVentures key differentiators, both from a Limited Partner and Investee Company perspective, is that all five Directors of the General Partner have been successful entrepreneurs. This entrepreneurial startup and operational background allows the General Partner to bring a "hands-on" approach to growing its Investee Companies. Each Director of the General Partner brings a strong sense of vision; a diversified skill set, a broad network of contacts, and a strong track record of leading and developing startup companies to maximize shareholder value. The General Partner has also assembled a highly qualified Board of Advisors from both Canada and the USA, comprised of "world-class" entrepreneurs, leaders of successful technology companies, and investment professionals including seasoned venture capitalists. The General Partners' Directors and the Board of Advisors have purchased and own approximately 10% of the $21.5 million Fund, and have a strong incentive and commitment to support this opportunity. We believe that infrastructure and enablers are critical to the growth in these target sectors, and investments made along these spaces of the value chain have sounder fundamentals, lower risk and greater leverage than the "retailers" of these sectors (ie."dot.com" companies). Further, this focus capitalizes on the strength and domain experience of the General Partner and Board of Advisors. We invest, sometimes along with other venture funds, in mostly private and non-public companies. In all cases, consideration of multiple exit strategies will be an important criterion prior to making an investment. We expect the majority of our investments will be with private companies completing an early stage financing round. In all cases, we target companies with strong, disciplined management teams who have demonstrated a willingness to collaborate and implement strategic advice from qualified outside advisors. SB TechVentures offers high-quality leadership in the $3.0 million and below financing range, given most of the established funds have moved to larger investment sizes due to the rapid fund size growth of many successful venture funds. We act as both a financial partner and corporate strategist with our investee companies, helping them to validate strategy and achieve short-term goals, and to better connect within the financial and technology communities, thus enabling investee companies to finance at higher valuations in future rounds or to strategically monetize assets at significant premiums. We also co-invest with our strategic partners and other venture capital companies in larger financing rounds. SpringBank TechVentures expects to place its investments in 10 to 15 companies, with individual investments ranging between $500,000 and $2.5 million.

Founded in 1995, Blue Water Capital (BWC) is a venture capital firm with about $100 million under management. BWC has always invested in expansion stage information technology companies, requiring that prospective investments be profitable and have at least $2 million in prior year revenue. Blue Water Capital places great weight on management's long-term vision and ability to execute its plans. One of the key tenets of BWC's investment philosophy is that by having a longer term investment horizon (5-7 years), Blue Water portfolio companies will have greater opportunities for successful exits. Upon investing in a company, the entire Blue Water Capital team, including its principals and staff, become readily accessible to the company's management team. In effect, BWC becomes an extension of the management team. In the past, we have helped our portfolio companies plan strategic directions, recruit top-level executives, recruit technical personnel, develop and execute merger and acquisition strategies, meet key customers and partners, and raise additional equity and debt capital. We have also provided our companies with introductions to investment bankers, analysts and underwriters in anticipation of planned public offerings or merger and acquisitions activity. The capital that we provide to our portfolio companies is essential for growth. Yet it is the broad experience of our investment team and the access to BWC's network of industry contacts (investment banks, industry analysts, lawyers, accountants, venture capital firms and institutional investors) and links to prospective customers that are the most valuable contributions we make to our portfolio companies.

YankeeTek makes investments in the semiconductor, communications and networking, eBusiness infrastructure, application software and services, and emerging technology sectors. Does YankeeTek invest in companies outside of New England? YankeeTek's team will be actively involved in the development of your company. Therefore, we focus on start-ups within the New England area. In exceptional cases however we will consider investments outside of this area. What guidelines does YankeeTek use when evaluating a potential investment? People: We evaluate the founders, employees, board members and advisors. We look for visionaries in your technology and industry, management experience to execute the business plan, intellectual capacity, and a team that can work well together. Technology or Product: We consider how much technology and execution risk exists in your business plan. To measure this, we look at where the technology and product is in the product development lifecycle. We also consider how well positioned your products are to rapid changes in technology and market conditions. Market Potential: We look at the size of your market, market risks, the competition, your firm's competitive advantages, and how much market share is required for profitability. Return on Investment: We look for superior returns on investment. YankeeTek also evaluates how our involvement will help your firm to achieve higher valuations in the future. How do I submit a business plan? In addition to meeting YankeeTek's guidelines, we look for companies to provide a Business Plan, an Executive Summary and a Presentation prior to any meeting for us to get a full understanding of the company's requirements. We take your business ideas seriously and need to get a full understanding of the proposed potential investment by YankeeTek. After our initial review of the business plan, we will discuss a potential face-to-face meeting so we can get the team's perspective on the business. Prior to this meeting, we require that all participants are updated on any changes to the materials that will be presented in the meeting. The initial face-to-face meeting usually lasts about an hour. If the feedback from the meeting is positive, we will begin a due diligence process to evaluate the risks of the proposed business. This process can typically take 30 to 90 days to complete. Click here to view a suggested presentation outline: Presentation Outline. Feel free to review Tim Kraskey's VC Rules article from BroadbandWORLD for more tips. To submit an executive summary or business plan for review, please send a copy by email to bplans@yankeetek.com. How much equity does YankeeTek take? There is no fixed rate of equity that YankeeTek must own. Each equity agreement is based on company valuation, the amount of our investment, and how much YankeeTek's involvement will add to the future value of the company. We understand that the valuation and equity agreement process can be intimidating and confusing for a first-time entrepreneur. YankeeTek will help educate the entrepreneur about this process. Where can I learn more about venture capital? An overview of the venture capital industry can be found at www.nvca.org.
