Extensive experience trading equities markets and business development. Algorithms. Project funding, fundraising, placements, IPO's, debt instruments. I help clients navigate through the complexities of financial language, no matter how exotic the profession makes it seem. Managing client and investor expectation, keeping them grounded to reality. Educating yourself is a key component of understanding your environment in the venture space. Is private equity or sourcing for private investor money right for you? Understanding the climate, condition, is critical in getting funded. PE isn't a new convention and I will gladly try and illustrate the pros and cons of that route of source financing. Just remember going to a good ol' bank is typically the best option. My honest two cents. There is no such thing as bad business, just poor execution and a willingness to put ego aside to work with other people.
