We are a first of its kind venture firm that seeks to bridge the gap of quasi-private companies and the public markets.
As entrepreneurs we recognize that the world is changing and new opportunities are afoot. Traditional funding models are antiquated and don't maximize technology and or current rules and regulations. Crowdfunding has changed how companies are conceived and funded.
The democratization of capital will disrupt the traditional venture capital model; and founders who embrace crowdfunding will receive less expensive capital, retain more control of their companies’ and and tip the advantage to them over institutional investors. (Read a case study.)
Regulation A+, Regulation D sec. 506(c) and Regulation Crowdfunding represent a new opportunity for founders. Founders can now raise capital through public solicitations in a way previously illegal under federal securities laws; however post offering these companies are still considered private companies.We help companies bridge the gap from being a privately held business to a publicly traded company; and to realize the benefits associated with having a publicly traded stock; most notably, transparency and liquidity. (Read a case study.)
A return on and of capital is the financial measure of success for investors, founders and stock-holding employees. Companies return capital to investors 1) through the payment of dividends, 2) from a sale of the company and 3) through an initial public offering (IPO); each of these are fairly elusive for most companies.
By leveraging newly enacted laws, companies of any size can now list their securities and become a publicly traded company and provide the exit strategy your investors require and deserve.
IQ capital Ventures invests its time, resources and knowledge in compelling companies, with a preference to those who have successfully completed a crowd funding campaign on sites like Kickstarter, Circeleup, Indiegogo, Angel List and others to take those companies public in exchange for an equity stake in your company.
