Are you a UK StartUp or Early Stage Company seeking Capital?
I know how difficult and expensive it can be when you are starting up a business and have very limited resources.
This is how I want to try to help you.
For a limited time only, I want to extend a special deal for UK based early stage businesses. I want to offer you very low cost, low risk access to my personal UK Venture Capital and Private Equity Investor Database containing nearly 1100 firms to help you identify some suitable investors.
Here is my Offer how it works.
You email me at jbdcolley[at]aol.com and send me a brief profile of your business. Include with this the names of the VC firms you have already approached or already know. This will form a “Red List” of firms that I will not feed back to you.
I have a database of over 15,000 investors globally which I have built over the last 10 years so I probably know these investors already.
If I think your business is fundable, I will send you a brief 10 minute questionaire of key criteria for you to fill out. This requires simple very brief answers.
I will then screen your criteria against my database of investors to produce a short list. I will then tell you how many names I have found and these are available to you at £10 a name.
I will provide you with the name of the firm, its address, telephone number, website and the names of its executives. If I have a personal contact there, I will also tell you that to help you with your approach.
If I do not think your business is fundable, I will email back with some brief but direct reasons why not.
You tell me how many names you want to purchase, there is no minimum and you can come back to me three times to purchase names (this is only to minimise drip feeding one name at a time).
I will also require you to sign a contract that you will pay us 1% in cash of any funds raised from these investors as any time in the next two years.
The normal cost of fund raising is 5%-10% of funds raised so I believe that is represents very low risk and exceptional value.
The period is 24 months because investments will take time to arrange and can often be staged against milestones.
