Our goal is to find the most promising investments for our clients, and provide them the entrepreneurial environment and dedicated resources to help them thrive. Our investors are also given the “first right of refusal” for future investment in our early stage companies. In a nutshell we:
Evaluate. The IFS team applies its years of business, financial, technical and product development experience to perform in-depth due diligence and thoroughly evaluate each ESC’s potential for success.
Deliver Critical Resources. ESCs that are selected to participate in the school will be given approximately $60K in resources to help them thrive. But more importantly, the IFS will provide critical financial, marketing and technological expertise that most of these companies need to achieve their next level of success.
Provide Optimal Visibility. Our organization’s objective is to prepare ESCs for maximum visibility to the market and to prove their value to the public. IFS’s resources are provided to selected ESCs for a period of 3-6 months. Thereafter, IFS becomes part of each company’s management team.
Provide You the Ability to Invest with Confidence. On completion of the IFS, the ESC is taken to the market for its next stage of capital funding if required. IFS investors are offered the first right of refusal to invest in our ESCs, and may participate in all or a portion of the offering. The principals of IFS work with and have personal relationships with many investors from angels to well-known venture capital firms. These principals have taken numerous private companies public and raised millions of dollars.
