| Support We Provide Active Involvement Recognizing that early-stage companies need nurturing and assistance, we seek to create an effective partnership to support entrepreneurial vision. Boulder Ventures' partners have direct operational experience, as well as consulting careers, thereby providing a wealth of knowledge and experience to benefit our portfolio companies. We apply these company-building skills in operations, marketing, sales, human resources and finance to each company, as needed. Importantly, each General Partner has a limited number of Board commitments, in order to assure his availability to assist the entrepreneur. Because information on all portfolio companies is shared among all investment professionals in a “continuous information loop”, collective knowledge and experience of the BV team is available at all times. We help to build-out the management team, refine product concepts, create an appropriate capital structure to facilitate growth, establish a market strategy, develop strategic alliances and partnerships and, ultimately, achieve financial success. Local Focus in Two Key Geographic Areas With General Partners and offices in the Mid-Atlantic and Colorado, we are truly local to two of the top venture markets. Boulder Ventures' Partners are thus easily accessible to our portfolio companies at all times, especially during initial periods of growth and development. At the same time, BVs "360° market intelligence", resulting from our visibility to leading edge opportunities on both East and West Coasts as well as technologists and financial resources nationwide, is unique among early-stage investment firms. Technical Expertise Boulder Ventures' partners recognize the potential of novel ideas. We provide the technical expertise needed to move an idea to the next level. Additionally, we help with the product definition and differentiation and protection of intellectual property. Network of Industry Experts Renowned entrepreneurs who serve as EIRs and Venture Partners form the core of Boulder Ventures' extensive network of industry contacts. Each of the EIRs and Venture Partners has a proven track record building successful companies. Additionally, through our extended family of entrepreneurs, investors and investment professionals, we provide valuable contacts - nationally and internationally. Boulder Ventures' partners and portfolio companies are able to secure the connections, business know-how and experience needed to build successful companies. Financing Boulder Ventures generally leads the deal, attracting additional financing and structuring the investment. In an effort to meet the specific needs of each company, we draw from a long list of fellow private, corporate and institutional venture capital. These equity sources have been developed over years of successful and collegial co-investing. Initial financing commitments ordinarily range from $1 to $4 million; ideally, Boulder Ventures likes to invest between $5 and $10 million in a company throughout its life cycle. We expect to provide follow-on capital in later rounds of equity financing. Through our contacts, we also arrange mezzanine financing, bank loans, leasing and other capital. We also act as a representative for, and advisor to, our portfolio companies throughout the exit process, whether by sale or IPO. |
