Bissonnette Funding Solutions company information, Employees & Contact Information

My name is Michael Bissonnette, and over the last three decades I founded, funded and built four multi-million dollar corporations – the last two I took public on the NASDAQ. Each required investor financing to get off the ground, and additional funds to accelerate growth. All in all I raised over $50 million for my companies through 21 successful rounds of funding. Much of it came in the last five years, in some of the toughest financial times ever – and I did it without banks or venture capital. The funding method I have used – Investor Direct Offerings - capitalizes on new state regulations and recent SEC mandates that have opened up an entirely new way of raising capital, enabling entrepreneurs to advertise and sell stock directly to individual investors. The dramatic erosion of wealth caused by the financial downturn, the subsequent credit crunch, and the investment banking collapse, have led to an untenable fundraising landscape. Venture capital investment has plunged, angel funding is at its lowest in a decade, and banks are unwilling to lend to higher-risk businesses. This means that today, an Investor Direct Offering may not just be the best way of funding certain companies – it may be the only way. I took my last company, AeroGrow International, from zero to $87M in sales in three years. But I can state without reservation that it would never even have gotten off the ground without the first $5 million I raised through Investor Direct Funding. If you are considering raising funds for your business, and you'd like to explore if your company is a candidate for an Investor Direct Offering, I can help.
