Perplexed and Indecisive Founder: Move on

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!

Financial Reform & Capitalism: A Paradox? Posted This Week by Rahim Thawer, Managing Director of Disruptive Strategies Inc

A profound and enlightening argument can be made on either side of the fence relative to financial reform, however my deference and fidelity goes towards opposing the financial reform in particularly certain highlights which will not only restrict lending but border the founding fundamentals of America!

The politicians may very well have a convoluted way of presenting the Financial Reform; however it is a civil responsibility of each citizen or entrepreneur to understand the long term ramification of restricting growth of these businesses which are directly proportional to the lending arena. No longer are the banking models viable for today’s economy, let alone of tomorrow. Capitalism has to be re-invented through not so traditional channels, but through dynamic and agile strategies only to be formed by a few, who will lead to the new heights, followed my masses.

But of course, we are brazen yet ambiguous and I feel we need to rethink of the path we are paving for the future of American Corporations. Regardless of what influence this bill may have, we need to create parallel synergies with our business associates, partners, vendors and restructure not only our operations, but attitude towards monetary gains or losses. Creativity has always played a conspicuous role in the history of America from the time of Henry Ford to current social media boom such as Facebook. So I say, don’t just engineer it, but re-engineer it! After all, all that you have created is bound to fail from computers to cars to even central heating device in your house! So, re-engineer it!

‘Double Dip” Recession? Posted This Week by Rahim Thawer, Managing Director of Disruptive Strategies Inc

We continue to experience high unemployment, Europe’s debt crisis, quivering housing market descending stock prices. The US economic recovery still remains a concern and we continue to see it trending towards a double dip recession. Despite unprecedented fiscal stimulus, fears of a double dip recession persist through 2010! Can this be an opportunity for investors, corporations, companies to capitalize on? Absolutely!

There is constant negativity that is being channeled through media to scare investors and companies and to shake consumer confidence to slow the recovery process. The media and the elite few constantly re-visit the recent collapse of the financial system and structure according to the trending market analysis.

While there may be a hindrance in the financial system to produce monetary capital to sustain the current financial model, that is obsolete, the opportunities do exists and businesses simply have to restructure their daily operations based on various external factors to survive this desolate cycle. Recession not only brings detrimental outcomes but also benevolent liberty in almost every field, the key is to identify them and for strong short term strategies. The future is of those who are creative and are not intimidated by financial agitation but rather put their best foot forward and go full force. This is the time to revisit old concepts and re-strategize to rebuild your businesses and let your competition experience a triple dip recession!

Disruptive Strategies Inc Managing Director, Rahim Thawer Posts This Week: The Banking Bubble Bursts.

The Banking Industry is on the verge of changing forever due to various economic factors and financial models that had been created in the last decade to create cheap monies and massive profits for bankers and their investors. The ideology and concept of free money cash flows was embraced by most banks due to simple supply and demand economics and backed by the Industrialized America.

This refinement of cheap money was not only led by various government entities but creative bankers exercising their newly formed simulations which gave way to the new world of power and higher profits. It is due to this transformation that the companies grew exponentially and dominated the global presence spreading awareness of their products and services. This notion gave birth to societal segregation and fueled the economy even more creating more wealth.

Today, this model is disintegrated and is obsolete! No longer can the economies of various industries support it and thrive. This model was shattered equally by investors as well as the consumers. There exists surplus of anything and everything including debt, and all this can very well be an opportunistic buy, but is it? Are we making the same mistakes and looking at these existing ventures and projects as opportunities just because they are up for sale for pennies on the dollar?

There may very well exist plenty of opportunities for the right investor and less and less ventures are getting funded as we see many banks go bankrupt and close their doors forever! Entrepreneurs can no longer use ancient traditional channels to conduct their business activities and seek to raise capital for the growth. The ways of analyzing projects has already changed, at least in the bankers mind. Perhaps this is the reason why we are experiencing illiquidity in the marketplace. Change is what we had asked for, and change is what we got. This transformation is going to revert us back to the old days where credit was limited and so was capitalism. Our future is now in the hands of the creative minds of tomorrow and innovators who will recapitulate the system.

The US Banks: Carry Trade?

Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week: The US Banks: Carry Trade?

A comparison of the investment strategies amongst the major banks versus smaller clearly indicates a dichotomy in various lending models. The US Economy is still in a financial turbulence and it may take a number of years for certain sectors to recover as the banks are not lending due to various internal factors. Lack of liquidity in the marketplace has simply incapacitated the national economy and the tremors are felt throughout various different industries and sectors. The question most entrepreneurs are asking, can our savings and cash flow sustain our current operations and how long will uncertainty last?

The major US Banks are taking advantage of the very low interest rates, near zero and using to capitalize their investment and portfolios by purchase of stocks, bonds, other securities rather than lending those funds to the smaller banks. The marketplace is very sensitive to the data and press releases and can elicit in adjustments in the lending arena. The rules of lending have clearly changed and free market maybe a term that barely exists anymore. A number of smaller banks are tied up and restricted to so much that they can do as the new underwriting guidelines are more regulated.

Lack of lending into smaller communities will eventually lead to closing of number of businesses and add burden to the tax payers and create a domino effect resulting into closing of other businesses as well. Looking at the fundamental swell of the lending arena; there was relative little the banks can do which results into closing of many financial institutions and this may very well be a start. We have already seen a wave of residential default and just starting to see the commercial side.

My Thoughts: cut all your expenses and renegotiate with all the vendors and lenders. It is critical that the small businesses survive as they employ most of the citizens of this country. Diversify your risk by making sounds investments for the future, look far on a global scale. Think of new concepts and get creative to build your business.

As we see challenges in the global economies, we must also simulate new models not only to get us through the survival mode but also to make our organizations stronger and more powerful than ever before. However, the question we must ask ourselves as the executives of our comprehensive domain, can we handle the growth? Are we ready for the paradigm shift?

With or without you, this shift is happening across various industries and sectors and it has never been as aggressive in the past. Paradigm shift is contributing and making its presence appreciative in the organizational structure of many creative companies and bring worlds together and making them smaller. It is now that we must embrace and accept it by formulating new strategies for not only growth but sustaining current state.

This recession brings abundance of opportunities for any business regardless of industry they are in. If you are an entrepreneur and can’t seem to find that gold nugget, I say you are not looking hard enough. You need to look harder and find the opportunity within your industry. We simply have to position ourselves to be on the receiving side and not on the giving side.

In the next few years will encounter a number of changes in the business world and many times these changes will affect us as well, but we have to be the judge of whether that impacts us in a positive manner and not negative. This shift needs to be initiated in every organization from the frontend such as business development and sales to the backend like the financials, etc.

My Thoughts: Create positive synergies amongst your partners and related industries; don’t wait for them to happen! Be creative and think logically before making a commitment, especially long term commitment. Are we ready for the Paradigm Shift? Or should I ask are you ready for the Shift?

US Recession: Do we have a Lifeline?

Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week “US Recession: Do we have a Lifeline?”

Americans have always been in the front lines battling and fighting other economies’ challenges by providing loan assistant programs to foreign aid to even outsourcing of American jobs. Well, outsourcing jobs can be also looked at as adding to the American corporation bottom line, but at the end of the day, we contributed heavily in providing assistance in times of need. Are we going to see that gesture reciprocated from these countries? Obviously, I am not asking for them to contribute on the monetary aspect but rather on the trade side.

I don’t expect the developing countries with limited resources to play a role in this arena but countries like China and India where the economies are not necessarily parallel with the US Economy but rather diverse in some aspects. I remember when India had so many graduates like doctors and engineers on the streets polishing shoes and running some business to barely put food on the table. Today, a number of American jobs have been outsourced to Indians from IT, Engineering to even medical field. These countries are not only taking over US jobs but also sending their professionals over to the US to create their presence here as well.

It is time we re-think all the foreign trade agreements before one of these countries surpasses our economy and puts us in the backseat. This battle can very well be a one man battle but collectively we form parallel agreement and have similar mindset to tackle this issue. If we continue on the current path, I am sorry to say but it is a path to devastation. We are already seeing failures at all levels of organizations including the government. We need to adapt to new ways of thinking and also revisit our old traditions and heritage.

The US Government is running out of money and if they are not careful we will be headed to another recession even before we come out of this one. There is no country out there that is going to keep lending us money at such a low rate whereas they can invest the same money in other countries and get a return of 500%, granted it is a risky investment but the returns are stunning. As citizens of this amazing nation, we need to take it upon ourselves to create lifelines in our everyday dealings and find creative ways to generate growth. If you are a small company operating from a remote location, go online and explore options to export your merchandise on the global market. If you are a consultant seeking a job in the US, think again and look for opportunities abroad. If you are an intern seeking a job, go work at a firm for free even if you have to go fetch coffee all day. Be productive, think outside of the box!

My Thoughts: The only Lifeline America has is its people and freedom to practice Capitalism. If you have fear of failing then you have already failed. Do not fear and go for it. Even if you fail, so what get up and try again and again till you reach your goals. I will not wish you luck, because you don’t need it, you have the spirit of capitalism and entrepreneurship in you, so go out there and “Make it Happen.”

Entrepreneurs: US Dollar Analysis for your Business.

Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week “Entrepreneurs: US Dollar Analysis for your Business.”

Entrepreneurs, start your engines! The Goal is uncomplicated, make money during the recession. The US Government has two options to recoup the funds it has injected in the market, one being raising taxes which is very unlikely due to the state of the economy. Second, the most favored is inflating the US Dollar. Intelligence is a commodity in today’s market, which brings not only intangible value but also tangible and that is the very reason the term ‘insider’ is referred to at times.

Many times we have speculated and said ‘if I had only known.” Say for example, would you have bought Apple stock when it was trading for less than $5 dollars and at present at $184.00? My fellow entrepreneurs, you have access to that information at the current time, knowing that the US Dollar is going to be inflated and you need to capitalize on that whether it be investing in foreign currency or simply making wise decision in regards to future dealings.

One of the key obstacles many business owners will encounter is liquidity due to the banking regulations and lack of funds. Capitalizing on current state of economy does not necessarily require monetary resources but rather a right strategy with an impeccable conceptualization. What are you going to capitalize on? Your daily operations! They will need to be agile and flexible enough to wither the storm.

As a business owner you will need to factor in anticipated inflation or deflation in all the financial activities of the businesses as this is crucial to sustain not only your short term operations but also long term. You will need to convert your cash flow from constant to actual and apply appropriate formulas like use of discounting payment factors rather than compounding. Many businesses fail due to under capitalization but more so due to failing to understanding how critical it is to allocate appropriate resources for future use.

A simple way to understand this concept is to recall what a dollar used to buy over 10 years ago and what does it buy today. This concept of understanding inflation and devaluation of US Dollar is going to be one of the driving indicators of many businesses. This concept is more important than ever before especially for the manufacturing sector who exports their products since we are now dealing with foreign manufacturers who are exploiting on the fiasco caused by the US markets. So be very smart in your dealings.

My Thoughts: As an Entrepreneur, make sure to evaluate every revenue stream and apply appropriate inflation models on current and projected cash flows as well as on the outstanding debt. This concept can also be employed by investors and it is just as important as your ROI. So be wise and run a lean organization with strong future projections!

Entrepreneurs: Think Strategically.

Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week “Entrepreneurs: Think Strategically.”

A Strategy is a plan of action that incorporates appropriate allocation of resources and other events to help the organization attain its goals. Strategies are formulated at all levels of the organization for various reasons such as ways to reciprocate to the competitors, confront with difficult external economic times, and to effectively use available resources. We have encountered within a number of organizations that we invest in, that strategic planning positively affects a firm’s performance and creates a financial success.

Before strategies are formulated, the executive members have to identify the core competences of the organization and a proper situation analysis needs to be formed. Situation analysis is important to every company but crucial to an organization that is going through financial turbulence. We are observing many entities that are facing challenges due to the current economy and we need to look deeper into our business models and re-evaluate our goals.

Most organizations fail when it comes to the implementation phase. They can form strategies that may or may not be valid but the implementation phase is very challenging and even a professional can fail if it is not executed accurately. Take for example major corporations that we see file for bankruptcy and most of these entities are governed by professionals, so why did they fail? When in bankruptcy, the professionals take over and revisit the strategies that were proposed and to conclude at what levels did they fail.

Strategy formulation may include assessing the external environmental such as the economy and internal challenges such as cash flow. As we are experiencing challenges, formulate new strategies and incorporate all current factors and potential future challenges as well. Project your thinking five or even ten years out and form solid plan that will carry your forward, but don’t forget to constantly visit them. A business without a proper plan or goal in mind cannot sustain its operations and will end up going under.

Don’t forget to Implement!
