Have you tried to attract early stage investors? There is a huge market waiting to make their products and services known but who lack the capability to expand. Fund raising is significantly more difficult today than it was prior to 2001 for several reasons:

• Many early stage investors (private and institutional) lost their entire investments during the, not-so-distant, dot.com bust and have not yet forgotten such write-offs.
• Venture capital firms are not as willing to commit to the second round financings that mitigated early stage investors risk.
• Most early stage businesses are privately owned. Investors become minority owners without investment liquidity. These factors coupled with the perceived maximum high risk of early stage company investment have compounded the problem of raising early stage investment capital.

What Early Stage Investors Today Want to See:

• Guarantees- Such as contracts, potential customer letters of intent, strong patent and IP protection or some alternative source of investment recovery (personal guarantees or investment enhancement collateral).
• A clear path to a liquidity event – Such as becoming publicly traded to provide liquidity and an exit for their investment.

The Solution

ESC facilitates the funding of high quality early stage companies by addressing investors’ concerns:

Investment Guarantees –
ESC  is willing to take the risk with investors. It offers an Investment Enhancement Program designed to protect the company and the investor in the event that the company fails to meet predetermined investor benchmarks. Investor capital will be returned if the company fails to meet these contracted benchmarks.

            A Clear Liquidity Event -
For qualified companies, ESC will manage the process for the company to become a publicly traded entity (e.g. reverse merger or registration) thereby providing a clear liquidity event for early stage investors.

The Result  

ESC core product, the Investment Enhancement Program is designed to attract many more new capital sources to early stage companies. The Program provides a safety net guaranteed return of investment during the early high risk stage of the business.

ESC’s optional service package offers the early stage company to provide a liquidity event.
