Accessing capital through private market, whether it be venture capitalists or private investor has become obscure and rather unyielding for many ventures regardless of its stage, startup to matured.
Procuring capital requires immense understanding of both the public markets as well as private, educating oneself with the returns generated amongst industries and companies. It is validated that uninformed, naive founders will more like never see a penny of investment due to disconnect with reality, perhaps never even realizing that they have wasted so many years, and resources if any, or even burned through initial investors!
A stubborn human mind can either lead to major successes very rarely or for the most part lead to a path that is traveled by many founders, where one out of hundred make it, the rest ninety nine face devastation and failures. The financial ecosystem has been created such that regardless of market direction, there exists numerous opportunities to capitalize and make a prosperous exit with a well thought out strategy and model.
It is imperative that the founders understand the market dynamics and work on creating a forth leg of their venture, which can be leveraged to gain investors interest and hopefully yielding a constructive and a mutually beneficial engagement. Having an experienced team with eloquent credentials, market captivating product, intangible patents and structures has become just an average and just about every other ventures.
It is exactly due to these imbalances, Thawer Ashcroft Crowne & Co has created collateralized debt & equity structures for its clients where a portion of the capital is preserved, hedged, and leveraged via a secondary portfolio to secure security for the current and future investors, where a successful exit can be exercised especially due to illiquid stock of a privately held venture. These structures are simply an enhancing structure, giving investors assurance and options to exit at appropriate milestone rather then being illiquid till IPO, which many don't make it.
Collateralized debt structures are over a few trillion dollar industry, yet very little is known about them by many ventures. This creates Real Money, which is tangible unlike patents, ideas, concepts that cannot be leveraged for the most part. Being an investor, nothing is more assuring then to know that there is an exit strategy where you will capitalize and be Liquid! Most of the high net worth investors don't necessary have cash in their accounts, but rather piece of paper such as warrants, or even stocks, bonds, etc.
My thoughts: Educate yourself, and keep an open mind, you will always be a student of life and never a teacher so long as there are other free minds out there who are constantly innovating new ideas and concepts, this is the very reason you see major companies such as Google acquiring small companies. Also, not all investors, or high net worth individuals leave in a mansion, take Mark Zuckerberg's (CEO of Facebook) modest living, a new breed of investors.

Green Revolution: Is it a Deception? Posted This Week by Rahim Thawer, Managing Director of Disruptive Strategies Inc
As we continue to experience inconsistencies in the financial structures of organizations due to external economic factors, we find inverse ratios are a success with constant influx of Green Projects! Substantial investment is being cultivated into the Green Technologies which is not only going to revolutionize each and every industry but also bankrupt many organizations due to requirements that are going to be set forth by public entities to incorporate these technologies into everyday uses. The Green Revolution is engulfing every continent and growing rapidly.
By no means am I opposed to the environmentally friendly products, or Green Revolution as a whole, but evaluating these technologies on the cost structure and pricing index models, the payout is much longer to procure its benefits on the monetary standpoint. It is purely a deceptive model that is bound to fail, but of course, how else can we make our profits, hire individuals to create these products and compete on a global scale. We are a progressive society that is driven by emotions, so why not channel them into appropriate uses and make sound decisions by incorporating budgetary aspect.
While the Green Revolution has already begun, we need to make it a part of our daily lives and understand the methodologies and longevity of these products. We will be seeing a total transformation of the whole humankind and the worlds we exist in as this technology is being echoed in every sector and industry. It would be rather impulsive and oblivious to think of this revolution as something insignificant. The government bodies and mega corporations have been spending millions if not billions into making this a reality and sooner than later it will happen. So I say embrace yourself, but make yourself a part of it by either innovating, investing, or engineering it, because it is approaching fast!

American Businesses: Failure to Apply Sensitivity Analysis?
Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week “American Businesses: Failure to Apply Sensitivity Analysis?”
As we are experiencing volatility in the global markets and the US Economy is constantly deteriorating we need to apply appropriate models and re-educate ourselves and our employees and have an elegant top notch management program.
One of the critical models that needs to be utilized by all businesses is Sensitivity Analysis. Sensitivity Analysis can be a rather complex model that incorporates a number of various factors to give you a precise output. This is simply a tool that will give you a clear indication of how an investment is going to perform and the effects on the Net Present Worth (NPW). Some of the key elements this tool will have an effect on are such as revenues, disposable value and operating cost.
Sensitivity Analysis does not stop there but can get very convoluted and it even addresses the purchase or sale of commercial real estate property with proper probability models utilizing external factors such as the market conditions. These models have been adapted by many of the powerhouses, yet not many small investors are aware of it.
As we see the wealth of many Americans diminish due to recession and negative changes in the economy, not only will this model position you to forecast your future worth but also it will flag any activities that need to be revisited, or even eliminated. A thorough Sensitivity Analysis will incorporate a number of factors and models and a simply simulation may take as long as 10 working days and can yield over 500 pages of data that needs to be addressed accordingly.
My Thoughts: Invest some time and money in learning about simply contemporary economics and have a professional firm evaluate your business before you make any considerable decisions.
