CHB makes minority and majority investments in three types of transactions: leveraged recapitalizations, management-led buyouts, and growth equity investments. CHB focuses on growing, profitable companies at the smaller end of the middle market. While CHB has the ability to invest in larger transactions, most of the firm's deals will fall in the following ranges: Revenue: $10-$200 million; EBITDA: $2-$15 million; Transaction Value: $10-$75 million; and Equity Investment: $3-$15 million. CHB invests in niche manufacturing, distribution and service businesses across an array of sectors from branded apparel to electronics manufacturing. Despite this diversified industry approach, CHB avoids investing in startups, turnarounds or in commodity driven sectors such as real estate, construction and natural resources. CHB has an additional office in Atlanta. </description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Brandbase Holdings</name><link>http://www.chbcapital.com/portfolio/portfolio-brandbase.html</link></firm><firm><name>Blu Dot</name><link>http://www.bludot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sorrento Networks</name><link>http://www.sorrentonet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Newline Products</name><link>http://www.newlineproduct.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Valent Aerostructures</name><link>http://valentaero.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HiRel Systems</name><link>http://hirelsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Logic PD</name><link>http://www.logicpd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CanGen</name><link>http://cangen.net/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>John W.

The Lacuna Venture Fund seeks to create superior returns for its investors, and for its portfolio companies, by investing its capital and expertise in private, early-stage companies that need funds of $500,000 to $3 million. Typically, these companies fall into the capital gap between what angel investors can do given their limited capital and advisory resources, and what venture capitalists are willing to do given their need to deploy their resources in more sizeable installments.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Balihoo</name><link>http://balihoo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Concept 3d</name><link>http://www.concept3d.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IntraOp Medical</name><link>http://www.intraopmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MocoPay</name><link>http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=301254&amp;cat=1</link></firm><firm><name>Tribute Direct</name><link>http://www.tributedirect.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Rawleigh Ralls, Principal</name></member><member><name>Sanford Keziah, Principal</name><email>sandy@lacuna.com</email></member><member><name>Rich O'Leary, Principal</name></member><member><name>J.K.

Brown &amp; Sons, an investment banking and brokerage firm located in Baltimore. In 1987 a group of Alex Brown employees, led by Bruns Grayson, formed an independent company to manage the ABS Ventures funds. In 2003, Deutsche Bank decided to exit private equity of all kinds, including venture capital. In conjunction with Bill Burgess, Managing Partner of Deutsche Bank Venture Partners, ABS Ventures engineered a partial buy-out of Deutsche Bank's direct venture investments, including select interests it owned through ABS Ventures. ABS currently manages over $320 million in assets. Principal areas of investment have been Information Technology and Health Care, with particular focus on software, data communications, business services, health care IT and medical devices. The firm's typical investment size has been $5-$15 million. ABS Ventures invests in large, rapidly growing companies that have either complete or near-complete management teams with deep experience and strong performance track records. In cases where the team is not complete, ABS is able to provide candidates with the necessary skill set to help the company move forward. </description><address><address1>950 Winter Street, Suite 2600 </address1><city>Waltham</city><state>MA</state><zip>02451</zip><phone>781-250-0400</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Qualys</name><link>http://www.qualys.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClickSquared</name><link>http://www.clicksquared.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wimba</name><link>http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Overview.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Certona</name><link>http://www.certona.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Everbridge</name><link>http://www.everbridge.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Highroads</name><link>http://www.highroads.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Overtone</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtone</link></firm><firm><name>CVRx</name><link>http://cvrx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intact Medical</name><link>http://www.intactmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rib-x Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.rib-x.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Satiety</name><link>http://www.answers.com/topic/satiety</link></firm><firm><name>The Active Network</name><link>http://www.activenetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adeptra</name><link>http://www.adeptra.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vesta GMS</name><link>http://www.vestagms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Applied Identity</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=13589149</link></firm><firm><name>Paratek</name><link>http://paratek.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Persystent Software</name><link>http://www.persystent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ScaleMP</name><link>http://scalemp.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Bill Burgess, Managing Partner</name><email>bill@absventures.com</email></member><member><name>Bruns Grayson, Managing Partner</name><email>bruns@absventures.com</email></member><member><name>Susan Adams, CFO</name><email>susan@absventures.com</email></member><member><name>Thayer Swartwood, Principal</name><email>thayer.swartwwod@absventures.com</email></member><member><name>Scott Yaphe, General Partner</name><email>scott@absventures.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Advent International</name><website>www.adventinternational.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Financial Services</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1984, Advent International is an international venture and private equity firm that has raised $26 billion in cumulative capital.

Arctaris targets companies seeking $1-5 million, or up to $50 million through syndication. Artcaris utilizes the TIGRcub security (an acronym for Top-line Income Generation Rights Certificates), which enables a company to raise capital that is not dilutive to current shareholders. In exchange for a cash investment, investors are repaid monthly an agreed upon fixed percentage of the company's top-line [GAAP] gross revenue. The TIGRcub is attractive for growing companies, as its underlying obligation is a function of the company's ability to repay it rather than a fixed schedule of monthly cash payments, as are typical of debt obligations, and can leave the company short of cash. The firm is able to provide funding to companies in most industries, however, Arctaris has experience within information technology, medical technology, manufacturing, and internet-related. The firm's $200M Arctaris Income Fund was launched in late 2010. Arctaris has offices in Massachusetts and Michigan.</description><address><address1>950 E.

The group was formed in February 2004 and since then has made a number of investments in companies in medical devices, IT, consumer products, business products, specialty materials, Internet, aviation, etc. The group's focus is on early stage companies usually looking to raise $250K to $1.5M, where Boston Harbor can fund a portion of the round and syndicate the deal with other angel groups or early stage venture funds. The stage of the company should be close to commercialization, while the company should have a clear and defensible competitive advantage. The group is looking for capital efficient businesses, which can reach profitability with less than $5M of equity investment and provide at least 10X return on the investment within 5 years. There is a one-time fee of $400 (for entrepreneurs) if invited to present to the full membership meeting.</description><address><address1>327 Lewis Wharf</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02110</zip><phone>617-742-7887</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Lessac Technologies</name><link>http://lessactech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Voice Genesis</name><link>http://www.voicegenesis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Carbonite</name><link>http://www.carbonite.com/en/</link></firm><firm><name>SmartCells</name><link>http://smartinsulin.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Myomo</name><link>http://www.myomo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aras</name><link>http://www.aras.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PowerPlay</name><link>http://www.powerplaykc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GateRocket</name><link>http://www.gaterocket.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Regroup</name><link>http://www.regroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StylePath</name><link>http://stylepath.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WebNotes</name><link>http://www.webnotes.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Oculis</name><link>http://www.oculislabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Horizontal</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/horizontal</link></firm><firm><name>ImageRights International</name><link>http://www.imagerights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AisleBuyer</name><link>http://www.aislebuyer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gramify</name><link>http://www.gramify.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vizibility</name><link>http://vizibility.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chronix Biomedical</name><link>http://chronixbiomedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cambridge Endoscopic Devices</name><link>http://www.cambridgeendo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cannuflow</name><link>http://www.cannuflow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedChannel</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=35134338</link></firm><firm><name>Neuroptix</name><link>http://www.neuroptix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioDrain Medical</name><link>http://biodrainmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nomir Medical</name><link>http://nomirmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wadsworth Medical</name><link>http://www.wadsworthmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Daktari Diagnostics</name><link>http://www.daktaridx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ultradian Diagnostics</name><link>http://www.ultradian.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zoom Systems</name><link>http://www.zoomsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lucky Litter</name><link>http://www.scoopfree.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Julianna Rae</name><link>http://www.juliannarae.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Motus Games</name><link>http://www.motusgames.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Finale Dessert Company</name><link>http://finaledesserts.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aircuity</name><link>http://www.aircuity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tikatok</name><link>http://www.tikatok.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SepSensor</name><link>http://sepsensor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VIGIX</name><link>http://www.vigix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Emerginvest</name><link>http://www.crunchbase.com/company/emerginvest</link></firm><firm><name>Incentive Targeting</name><link>http://www.incentivetargeting.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AllMealDeals</name><link>http://twitter.com/AllMealDeals</link></firm><firm><name>Sifaka Productions</name><link>http://world.sifakaworld.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nano-C</name><link>http://www.nano-c.com/</link></firm><firm><name>XCOR</name><link>http://www.xcor.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>C.

The program, which raises private investment capital supported by contingent state tax credits, operates without State appropriations. No contingent tax credits have been used nor projected to be used to-date. As a result, there has been no cost to taxpayers to create and operate ICIC nor the IFOF. The Iowa Fund of Funds is designed to help build a professional venture capital industry to serve Iowa entrepreneurs. ICIC is a private, non-profit organization authorized by Iowa statute to serve as General Partner of the Fund of Funds and provide oversight and guidance to the Fund Manager.

The firm will invest in either privately owned or publicly traded companies. With offices in Atlanta and Denver, CHB makes minority and majority investments in three types of transactions: leveraged recapitalizations, management-led buyouts and growth equity investments. The firm invests in niche manufacturing, distribution and service businesses across an array of sectors from branded apparel to electronics manufacturing. Despite this diversified industry approach, CHB avoids investing in startups, turnarounds or in commodity driven sectors such as real estate, construction and natural resources. CHB invests between $3 million and $15 million in equity capital, although it has the ability to invest above this level if needed. Under most circumstances, the firm acquires between 20 and 80 percent of a company's equity, with managers and other shareholders retaining the rest. CHB normally holds its investments for a period of three to six years. The ideal prospective candidate for CHB will have annual revenues in excess of $20 million.</description><address><address1>3900 Essex Lane, Suite 1200</address1><city>Houston</city><state>TX</state><zip>77027</zip><phone>713-677-0258</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BrandBase</name><link>http://www.brandbase.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BluDot</name><link>http://www.bludot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Newline</name><link>http://newline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cangen Holdings</name><link>http://www.chbcapital.com/portfolio/portfolio-cangen.html</link></firm><firm><name>Sorrento Networks</name><link>http://www.sorrentonet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HiRel Systems</name><link>http://hirelsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Valent Aerostructures</name><link>http://valentaero.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>P.

Initially funded by a USDA RBEG grant, the virtual incubator (modeled after a similar program in Fort Collins, CO) offers prospective companies the information and service infrastructure that a traditional incubator program enjoys, without the cost or hassle of operating a building, or the requirement that all host businesses reside in one place. Prospective participants should have a physical location within the boundaries of Baldwin County. The incubator will utilize existing small business assistance resources and resource providers such as: SCORE, the University of South Alabama, Baldwin County Revenue Department, Faulkner State Community College, the five Chambers of Commerce in Baldwin County, and the Alabama Technology Network. Entrepreneurial services and programs that are not being provided, but will be addressed by the incubator, may include: Access to Seed/Venture Capital; Micro-Loans; and Technology Transfer and Collaboration.</description><portfolio><name>Participating companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link/></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Bob Higgins, Director</name><email>bhiggins@baldwineda.com</email></member></management></company><company><codes><code>PE</code></codes><name>Fenwick Capital Group, Inc.</name><website>www.fenwickcapitalgroup.com</website><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><address><address1>115 Office Park Drive, Suite 300</address1><city>Birmingham</city><state>AL</state><zip>35223</zip><phone>205-879-1754</phone></address><description>Fenwick Capital Group is one of the only private equity firms in the United States that concentrates exclusively on the Consumer Packaged Goods industry.

Rather, Winter Park looks for companies that are in the early stage of rolling out a unique, preferably proven, product or concept. The group is not an investment fund and each member makes his or her own investment decisions. Winter Park Angels typically invest between $25,000 and $250,000 per transaction individually, and from $250,000 to $2 million as a group. The group members invest in one to six transactions per year.

The firm is based in Greenwich and manages three funds with committed capital of approximately $2.3 billion. The firm is currently investing the $1.3 billion Littlejohn Fund IV. As of June 30, 2010 Littlejohn and its predecessor funds have made equity investments of approximately $1.7 billion in 32 platform portfolio companies and many add-on acquisitions. Cash proceeds of more than $2.7 billion have been realized on approximately $1.0 billion of the equity investments realized to date. Littlejohn implements two investment strategies. For control investments, it seeks to invest between $50 million to $100 million of equity per transaction. For non-control positions, the firm will take minority equity positions as well as purchase debt and other junior securities in the secondary markets. Due to the intensive hands-on nature of its investment approach in control investment, Littlejohn generally undertakes no more than two or three transactions per year. At any one time, the control portfolio will typically consist of five to ten companies.  The firm has particular interest in industries in which the principals have considerable experience, including industrial equipment, packaging, chemicals, automotive and transportation parts and equipment, food and food processing, healthcare, plastics, aerospace/defense, distribution, environmental and infrastructure services, and consumer products. Littlejohn avoids investments in fashion and retail industries, as well as real estate and highly sophisticated technologies. The firm targets mid-sized companies with revenues in the range of $150 million to $800 million. Generally, the firm focuses on investments in the U.S., but will consider opportunities in Canada and Europe.</description><address><address1>8 Sound Shore Drive, Suite 303</address1><city>Greenwich</city><state>CT</state><zip>06830</zip><phone>203-552-3500</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>CoActive Technologies</name><link>http://www.coactive-tech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clean Earth</name><link>http://www.cleanearthinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Synchronous Aerospace Group</name><link>http://www.syncaero.com/Home/Default.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Van Houtte</name><link>http://www.vanhoutte.com/van-houtte-u.s.-website-closed</link></firm><firm><name>Kenan Advantage</name><link>http://www.thekag.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Penda</name><link>http://www.penda.com/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Henniges Automotive</name><link>http://www.hennigesautomotive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cosmetic Essence</name><link>http://cosmeticessence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Soundview Maritime</name><link>http://www.soundviewmaritime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CTI Foods</name><link>http://www.ctifoods.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Latham International</name><link>http://www.lathamint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Synventive Molding Solutions</name><link>http://www.synventive.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Angus C.

Founded in 1988, Olympus manages over $3.1 billion on behalf of corporate pension plans, public retirement systems, university endowment funds, and executives of Olympus' portfolio companies. Olympus is currently investing from its fifth fund, Olympus Growth Fund V, which has committed capital of $1.5 billion. The firm purposely limits the number of investments it makes to five or six each year and looks to invest larger dollar amounts in each company. The preferred investment size ranges from $20 million for venture capital deals to $300 million or more for buyouts. Rather than investing in companies focused on capturing a small piece of a large market, the firm looks for companies that have established a dominant position in a defensible niche. While Olympus will continue to invest opportunistically, it has developed particular interest and expertise in the following industry sectors:  Business Services, Healthcare Manufacturing and Services, Financial Services, Consumer Products and Services, Software and IT Services, and Logistics and Transportation Services. </description><address><address1>Metro Center</address1><address2>One Station Place</address2><city>Stamford</city><state>CT</state><zip>06902</zip><phone>203-353-5900</phone><fax>203-353-5910</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Club Staffing</name><link>http://clubstaffing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ariel Re</name><link>http://www.arielredev.com/arielre/</link></firm><firm><name>Symmetry Medical</name><link>http://symmetrymedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Homax Partners</name><link>http://www.homaxproducts.com/company/partners/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Vignette</name><link>http://www.opentext.com/2/global/products/products-web-content-management.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Norwesco</name><link>http://norwesco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ann's House of Nuts</name><link>http://www.annshouseofnuts.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Client Distribution Services</name><link>http://www.cdsbooks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Phoenix Services</name><link>http://phoenixsvs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prime Advantage</name><link>http://www.primeadvantage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Professional Service Industries</name><link>http://www.psiusa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shemin</name><link>http://www.shemin.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Snyder Industries</name><link>http://www.snydernet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Woodcraft</name><link>http://www.woodcraft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ritedose</name><link>http://www.ritedose.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Churchill</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill</link></firm><firm><name>K-MAC</name><link>http://www.k-mac.com.au/</link></firm><firm><name>Pepper Dining</name><link>http://www.pepperdining.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>FFR-DSI</name><link>http://www.ffr-dsi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FrontierVision</name><link>http://www.superpages.com/bp/Richmond-KY/Frontiervision-L2165435131.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Homax Products</name><link>http://orders.homaxproducts.com/About-Homax</link></firm><firm><name>Newtex Communications</name><link>http://www.newtex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>New Vision Television</name><link>http://newvisiontv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pennant</name><link>http://www.answers.com/topic/pennant</link></firm><firm><name>Plaze</name><link>http://www.plaze.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Robert S.

The fund invests, through structured succession plan, management buy-out, management buy-in and tailored transaction, in companies that have above-average revenue growth, strong market positions and quality reputations, but are facing operational or financial roadblocks to future success.

The firm uses creative problem-solving to identify investment opportunities in attractive companies whose value is obscured by: reliance on government policy or subsidy; poor labor relations; and/or financial distress coupled with management or governance dysfunction. Blue Wolf does not target any particular industry and the firm's partners have led successful investments in a wide range of businesses, including service and applied engineering companies, capital equipment manufacturers, general manufacturing, financial services and broadcast media. Typically the firm targets American or Canadian companies with minimum revenues of $25 million. With a minimum of a $20 million transaction size and a minimum investment size of $10 million, Blue Wolf structures investments as debt or hybrid debt/equity instruments, and in the case of bankruptcies, the firm may provide debtor-in-possession financing in conjunction with a plan to take control post-bankruptcy. Blue Wolf does not invest in start-ups or re-starts of closed businesses.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Gloucester Engineering</name><link>http://www.gloucesterengineering.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Northern Timber Nova Scotia</name><link>http://blue-wolf.com/investments/northern-timber-nova-scotia.php</link></firm><firm><name>Finch Paper</name><link>http://finchpaper.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Northern Pulp</name><link>http://northernpulp.ca/</link></firm><firm><name>American Builders Supply</name><link>http://www.absupply.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Channel Technologies</name><link>http://www.channeltechgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pharmaceutical Strategies Group</name><link>http://psgconsults.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Adam Blumenthal, Founding and Managing Partner, 212-488-1341</name><email>adam@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Dana Lowy, Director of Operations, 212-488-1350</name><email>dana@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Harnajeet Narulla, Principal, 212-488-1343</name><email>haran@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Andrew Schwartz, Vice President, 212-488-1346</name><email>andrew@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Walter Stasik, Operating Partner, 212-488-1340</name><email>walt@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Van Walbridge, Operating Partner, 212-488-1340</name><email>van@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Josh Wolf-Powers, Founding Partner, 212-488-1342</name><email>josh@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Greg Collins, Operating Partner, 212-488-1355</name><email>greg@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Charles Miller, Partner, 212-488-1348</name><email>cmiller@blue.wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Mike Musuraca, Managing Director, 212-488-1353</name><email>mikem@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Michael Ranson, Partner, 212-488-1344</name><email>michael@blue-wolf.com</email></member><member><name>Bob Sharp, Operating Partner</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>VC</code></codes><name>Boldcap Ventures, LLC</name><website>www.boldcap.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage></stages><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><address><address1>750 Lexington Ave., 6th Floor </address1><city>New York</city><state>NY</state><zip>10022</zip><phone>212-730-5498</phone><fax>917-591-0880</fax></address><description>Boldcap Ventures is a venture capital fund focused on investing in early to mid-stage companies, primarily in the healthcare and technology sectors.

The firm establishes its initial position at the seed stage, either as first-money-in investors, or perhaps following a small friends-and-family round. However, IA is generally looking to establish initial positions in its companies of at least 10% (and sometimes much higher). The firm may well have single-company exposures pushing $5 million.. In short, IA Ventures is a true "life cycle" fund that reserves heavily, is open to bridging when it makes sense, will on occasion lead internal rounds, and engages in full-contact relationships with its portfolio companies.  IA also incubates companies at IA Ventures, having worked on three such opportunities to date.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BankSimple</name><link>https://www.simple.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BillGuard</name><link>https://www.billguard.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Datapop</name><link>http://www.datapop.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FluidInfo</name><link>http://fluidinfo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kinetic Global Markets</name><link>http://www.kinetictradingllc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Metamarkets</name><link>http://metamarkets.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyCityWay</name><link>http://www.mycityway.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NewsCred</name><link>http://www.newscred.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PlaceIQ</name><link>http://www.placeiq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Recorded Future</name><link>https://www.recordedfuture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SavingStar</name><link>https://savingstar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sulia</name><link>http://www.sulia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Trade Desk</name><link>http://thetradedesk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TraceVector</name><link>http://tracevector.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yipit</name><link>http://yipit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Datasift</name><link>http://datasift.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kohort</name><link>http://kohort.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Next Big Sound</name><link>http://www.nextbigsound.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Simple</name><link>https://www.simple.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coursekit</name><link>http://blog.coursekit.com/post/8645806770</link></firm><firm><name>Drawn To Scale</name><link>http://drawntoscalehq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ThinkNear</name><link>http://www.thinknear.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Visual Revenue</name><link>http://visualrevenue.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Roger Ehrenberg, Founder and Managing Partner</name><email>roger@iaventures.com</email></member><member><name>Brad Gillespie</name></member><member><name>Ben Siscovick</name></member><member><name>Jess Beyroutey</name></member><member><name>Drew Conway</name></member><member><name>Julie Park, Office Manager</name></member><member><name>Joey Capasso</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>PE</code></codes><name>ICV Capital Partners, LLC</name><website>www.icvpartners.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><address><address1>The Chrysler Center</address1><address2>299 Park Avenue, 34th Floor</address2><city>New York</city><state>NY</state><zip>10171</zip><phone>212-455-9600 </phone><fax>212-455-9603</fax></address><description>Founded in 1998 as "Inner City Ventures," ICV is an ethnic minority-owned private investment company with $440 million in capital.

The firm's investment approach, however, is fundamentally simple: KKR acquires industry-leading companies and works with management to grow and improve them and thereby create shareholder value. Established in 1976 and led by co-founding members Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR has completed more than 170 transactions with an aggregate enterprise value of over $425 billion. As of 2010, the firm had $61 billion in capital commitments. Additional funds that KKR sponsors include KKR Private Equity Investors, LP (Euronext Amsterdam: KPE), a permanent capital fund that invests in KKR-identified investments; and two credit strategy funds, KKR Financial (NYSE: KFN) and the KKR Strategic Capital Funds, which make investments in debt transactions. KKR has offices in New York, Menlo Park, San Francisco, Houston, Washington, DC, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Beijing, Mumbai, Dubai, Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio

The firm invests venture capital in companies that dominate a niche market, a sector perhaps only $500 to $1 billion in size. The number of potential competitors should be limited.

The fund, established in 1996, under the auspices of the nonprofit Partnership for New York City, was the vision of Henry R. Kravis, founding partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &amp; Co., who serves as its Co-Chairman. It was initially capitalized by contributions of $1 million each from sixty-seven individual and corporate investors, who invested for the good of the city and without expectation of financial returns. This is an evergreen fund, in which realized gains are reinvested in other worthwhile projects. The Fund has raised in excess of $110 million and its investments typically range in size from $1 million to $5 million. The Fund provides equity or debt, structured to meet the needs of the project. It will invest at any stage of business development, but seeks to exit in about five years. To date, the Fund has invested in over eighty projects. The Fund also established the Financial Recovery Fund and raised over $11 million (including a $1 million contribution from the Civic Capital Corporation) to provide 88 recoverable grants to small businesses impacted by the events of September 11. The key criterion for investment is that the venture is likely to generate benefits for New York City and its communities. Priorities include job creation, revitalization of distressed areas and innovative ideas or products that position New York at the cutting edge of growth sector industries. The Fund invests in technology companies but only alongside an experienced lead venture capital investor.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>3rd Ward</name><link>http://www.3rdward.com/</link></firm><firm><name>7thOnline</name><link>http://www.7thonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Bank Note Building</name><link>http://thebanknotenyc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioAccelerate NYC Prize</name><link>http://www.bioacceleratenyc.org/</link></firm><firm><name>C3i</name><link>http://www.c3i-inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>China Center New York</name><link>http://chinacenter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ERSP Lab Space Loan Fund</name><link>http://www.nycif.org/portfolio.html</link></firm><firm><name>EnergyHub</name><link>http://www.energyhub.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Freelancers Union</name><link>http://www.freelancersunion.org/</link></firm><firm><name>HarlemLanes</name><link>http://harlemlanes.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hot Bread Kitchen</name><link>http://hotbreadkitchen.org/</link></firm><firm><name>ImageSpan</name><link>http://www.licensestream.com/licensestream2/Portal/index.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Independence Care System</name><link>http://www.icsny.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Intra-Cellular Therapies</name><link>http://www.intracellulartherapies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NYC Seed</name><link>http://www.nycseed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NYC Tech Connect</name><link>http://www.nyctechconnect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nan Rx</name><link>http://www.facebook.com/nanshine.rx</link></firm><firm><name>Oasis</name><link>http://www.oasisinet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Outside.in</name><link>http://outside.in/</link></firm><firm><name>OwnEngergy</name><link>http://www.ownenergy.net/</link></firm><firm><name>PIN Pharma</name><link>http://medicine-directory.net/Pharmaceutical/Pharmaceutical-Pin/</link></firm><firm><name>QualityHealth</name><link>http://www.qualityhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>schoolnet</name><link>http://www.schoolnet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scratch Music Group</name><link>http://www.scratchmusicgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Seaview Senior Living</name><link>http://www.seaviewseniorliving.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solar Energy Systems</name><link>http://www.solaresystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Thumplay</name><link>http://www.thumbplay.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Trey Whitfield School</name><link>http://treywhitfieldschool.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Tx/Vi</name><link>http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/vi/index.htm</link></firm><firm><name>US Energy Group</name><link>http://www.use-group.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vivaldi Biosciences</name><link>http://vivaldibiosciences.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Peter Cohen, General Counsel</name></member><member><name>Maria Gotsch, President &amp; CEO</name><email>mgotsch@nycif.org</email></member><member><name>Anthony Giugliano, Chief Financial Officer</name><email>agiugliano@nycif.org</email></member><member><name>Prabhdeep Singh, Associate</name></member><member><name>Jahan Ali, Senior Vice President</name><email>jali@nycif.org</email></member><member><name>Lili Lynton, Senior Vice President</name></member><member><name>Rishi Sidhpura, Senior Associate</name></member><member><name>Mark Chou, Associate</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>VC</code></codes><name>Newlight Management Ventures</name><address><address1>245 Fifth Avenue, 25th Floor </address1><city>New York</city><state>NY</state><zip>10016</zip><phone>212-675-6591</phone><fax>212-675-7381 </fax></address><website>www.nlventures.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Expansion</stage></stages><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Business Services</industry></industries><altaddress><name>(Jericho, NY Office)</name><address1>500 North Broadway, Suite 144</address1><city>Jericho</city><state>NY</state><zip>11753</zip><phone>516-433-0090</phone><fax>516-433-0412</fax></altaddress><description>Founded in 1997, Newlight Management is an alternative investment firm focused on technology companies managing public equity and venture capital funds that support visionary management teams with leading technologies.

The founders were joined at Oaktree by 90% of their former TCW investment staff, including 100% of the senior investment professionals. Oaktree is comprised of nine Principals and approximately  600 staff members in Los Angeles, New York, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Stamford, Connecticut. The firm's Private Equity strategy is to invest in companies in which it can obtain control or substantial influence, often although not necessarily, through the medium of distress. The firm's use of leverage is very limited. In 2001, Oaktree established a new strategy in mezzanine investments with a targeted investment size of $20-$75 million, addressing the need for capital to help finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, acquisitions or corporate growth. Oaktree (OAK) went public on the New York Stock Exchange with an IPO on April 12, 2012.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Nordenia International</name><link>http://www.nordenia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bristol Farms</name><link>http://www.bristolfarms.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Howard Marks, Chairman</name></member><member><name>Bruce Karsh, President and Portfolio Manager, Distressed Debt</name><email>bkarsh@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>John Frank, Managing Principal</name><email>jfrank@fgllp.com</email></member><member><name>Kevin Clayton, Principal and Director</name><email>kclayton@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Steve Kaplan, Principal and Portfolio Manager Opportunities</name><email>skaplan@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Larry Keele, Principal and Portfolio Manager Convertible Securities</name></member><member><name>David Kirchheimer, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer</name></member><member><name>Richard Masson, Outside Director</name></member><member><name>Sheldon Stone, Principal and Portfolio Manager, High Yield Bonds</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>PE</code></codes><name>Odeon Capital Partners, LP</name><website>www.odeoncapital.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Financial Services</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><address><address1>747 3rd Avenue, 24th Floor, Suite A</address1><city>New York</city><state>NY</state><zip>10017</zip><phone>212-785-1300</phone><fax>212-785-3159 </fax></address><description>Odeon Capital Partners I, founded in 1999, is a limited investment partnership with $115 million in committed private equity capital under management.

The firm seeks to invest in companies with strong business franchises where there is an opportunity for significant improvement in profitability and cash flow. Ideally, potential investments have strong brand identity or market position; the likelihood for improved productivity or cost reductions through restructuring, reorganizing or redeploying capital into core businesses; and are capable of generating a recurring revenue stream and relatively stable and predictable cash flow with the potential for long-term growth. Wellspring has the flexibility to complete transactions ranging from $50 million to as much as $2 billion in total value.  Wellspring's first fund was launched in 1995 with $85 million and in 2011, the firm raised its fifth fund with $1.2 billion.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Hess Print Solutions</name><link>http://www.hessprintsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Checkers Drive-In</name><link>http://checkers.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Home Decor Innovations</name><link>http://www.hdhc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Susser Holdings</name><link>http://www.susser.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OMNI Energy Services</name><link>http://omnienergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jen-Coat</name><link>http://www.jencoat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>United Sporting</name><link>http://www.sportingunited.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cleaver-Brooks</name><link>http://www.cleaver-brooks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Performance Food Group</name><link>http://pfgc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chemaid</name><link>http://chemaidlabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ThermaSys</name><link>http://www.thermasys.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Resco Products</name><link>http://www.rescoproducts.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crosman</name><link>http://www.crosman.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prolamina</name><link>http://www.prolamina.com/</link></firm><firm><name>JW Aluminum</name><link>http://www.jwaluminum.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Greg S.

Today, BVP has offices in New York, Silicon Valley, Boston, Mumbai and Herzliya and manages more than $4 billion of venture capital invested in more than 130 companies located around the world. Some of Bessemer's portfolio companies, like Ungermann Bass and Verisign, were started in its offices. The firm focuses its investments in Cleantech, Cloud Computing, Financial Services, Healthcare, India Opportunities, Israel Opportunities, Mobile, Trusted Internet, and Online Retail. Generally, Bessemer leads the first institutional round of equity in its portfolio companies with investments that range from $4 to $10 million. At times the firm will participate in a later round of funding, and occasionally will make very small seed stage investments of under $1 million.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Goal.com</name><link>http://www.goal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hunch</name><link>http://hunch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MashLogic</name><link>http://www.mashlogic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OpenCandy</name><link>http://www.opencandy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PowerGenix</name><link>http://www.powergenix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stromedix</name><link>http://www.stromedix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>2tor</name><link>http://2tor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>adap.tv</name><link>http://adap.tv/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Apperian</name><link>http://www.apperian.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cirtas</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirtas</link></firm><firm><name>Fiverr</name><link>http://fiverr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intucell</name><link>http://intucellsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Betterment</name><link>https://www.betterment.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BillGuard</name><link>https://www.billguard.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Criteo</name><link>http://www.criteo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Densbits</name><link>http://densbits.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endgame Systems</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endgame_systems</link></firm><firm><name>Flat World Knowledge</name><link>http://flatworldknowledge.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Home First Finance Company</name><link>http://homefirstindia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Involver</name><link>http://www.involver.com/</link></firm><firm><name>K2 Global Consulting</name><link>http://www.k2globalconsulting.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kroll Bond Ratings</name><link>http://www.krollbondratings.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mindbody</name><link>http://www.mindbodyonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shopify</name><link>http://www.shopify.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Skybox Imaging</name><link>http://www.skyboximaging.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Twilio</name><link>http://www.twilio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xtreme Power</name><link>http://www.xtremepower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yelp</name><link>http://www.yelp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pinterest</name><link>http://pinterest.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Dick's Sporting Goods</name><link>http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/home/index.jsp</link></firm><firm><name>Gartner</name><link>http://www.gartner.com/technology/home.jsp</link></firm><firm><name>Zoosk</name><link>https://www.zoosk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VeriSign</name><link>http://www.verisign.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kronos</name><link>http://www.kronos.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>J.

Cephas was organized with $10 million of private capital contributed by six Upstate NY community banks and the general partners. The SBIC license also provides Cephas with access to up to another $30 million of funding from the SBA, generating a total capital pool of $40 million. Since 1997 Cephas has been seeking opportunities to help owners of small and medium sized privately held companies fund rapid growth, recapitalize their businesses or provide financing for management- led ownership changes. To date, the partnership has invested more than $70 million in 47 deserving small businesses located primarily in Upstate New York. The businesses funded by Cephas employ more than 5,000 people and contribute more than $700 million annually to the economic output of the region. The firm announced the recent formation of Cephas Capital Partners II, LP and the approval by SBA of a new license to operate as a Small Business Investment Company. Cephas II was the first licensee approved under SBA's new "fast track" approval process. Cephas II is expected to build on the successful foundation established by the existing Cephas, and will continue to focus on making subordinated debt investments ranging between $500,000 and $3 million in the Upstate NY region. The investor group is comprised of returning limited partners Canandaigua National Bank, Tompkins Trust Company, and Five Star Bank, along with new limited partners NBT Bancorp based in Norwich, NY and Arrow Financial headquarted in Glens Falls, NY. John Mooney continues to participate as a limited partner. </description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link/></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Clint Campbell</name><email>ccampbell@cephascapital.com</email></member><member><name>Jeffrey Holmes, General Partner</name><email>jholmes@cephascapital.com</email></member><member><name>John Mooney, Advisor and Limited Partner</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>PE</code></codes><name>Consumer Growth Partners</name><website>www.consumergrowth.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><address><address1>445 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 1102</address1><city>White Plains</city><state>NY</state><zip>10601</zip><phone>914-220-8337</phone><fax>914-428-4001</fax></address><description>Formed in 2005, CGP is a Private Equity Sponsor with a mission of adding value to companies and transactions in the Specialty Retail, Branded Consumer and Restaurant Sectors.

The fund has no limitation on technology/company origin, but if an investment is made, the businesses must locate and remain in New York State for at least three years post-investment. Special consideration will be given to companies that are not only headquartered in Upstate NY, but which also outsource their manufacturing and various services to other Upstate NY companies. While Excell's seed investments can extend up to $250K, the firm's typical contribution is currently about $100K in a $250 - $500K raise. Excell will also consider making an investment up to $50K at the pre-seed stage. Excell is a New York State-supported seed fund. Although it is a not-for-profit organization, Excell maintains a for-profit discipline by structuring each investment with convertible debt and equity returns so that, over time, the fund becomes self-sustaining or evergreen.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Koning</name><link>http://koningcorporation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novomer</name><link>http://www.novomer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tetragenetics</name><link>http://www.tetragenetics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SensiVida Medical Systems</name><link>http://www.sensividamedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Phsyiologic Communications</name><link>http://www.ehow.com/list_7816625_physiological-barriers-communication.html</link></firm><firm><name>Terrenew</name><link>http://www.terrenew.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SpectralSight</name><link>http://spectralsight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cerebral Assessment Systems</name><link>http://www.casscan.net/</link></firm><firm><name>LAGeT</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laget</link></firm><firm><name>Vitis Biosciences</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=99199317</link></firm><firm><name>Diffinity Genomics</name><link>http://www.diffinitygenomics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pill Crusher</name><link>http://www.nextag.com/pill-crusher/shop-html</link></firm><firm><name>Cerion Enterprises</name><link>http://www.launchsolutions.com/success-story-cerion-enterprises/</link></firm><firm><name>e2e Materials</name><link>http://e2ematerials.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mezmeriz</name><link>http://mezmeriz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adarza BioSystems</name><link>http://adarzabio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AndroBioSys</name><link>http://androbiosys.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Isolation Sciences</name><link>http://isolationsciences.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EET Diesel Systems</name><link>http://eetds.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Raland Technologies</name><link>http://raland.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Advantage Home Telehealth</name><link>http://www.advtelehealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CypherWorX</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mr4blsp/cypherworx-inc</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Theresa B.

EVE links Rensselaer institutional resources and alumni/ae expertise symbiotically with community strengths, in a multi-faceted partnership for mutual benefit. The Emerging Ventures Ecosystem builds on more than 30 years of the Institute's previous incubator program, the nation's first such program wholly sponsored and operated by a university. Capital Region companies ranging from MapInfo to successful video game company Vicarious Visions grew out of the previous incubator. The new EVE program will utilize an innovative distributed incubation model, maintaining a central office in the Rice Building. Under EVE, businesses that are accepted into the program will receive a series of specific services that will help accelerate their growth. Once a new company completes the application process - through which Rensselaer will determine, in part, whether the entrepreneur is willing to put in the effort to make the company successful - the program will assign a status to the company: pre-seed, emerging, or early stage. EVE will promote and introduce its companies to investors, assist them in identifying and seeking grant opportunities (NYSERDA, SBIR, etc), and help them prepare for business plan competitions. The Institute also is exploring the creation of an alumni/ae supported angel investment fund to provide funding ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 to augment some of the alumni-sponsored grant programs already available.</description><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>Microrganic Technologies</name><link>http://microrganictech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WindMec</name><link>http://www.windmec.com/Technology.html</link></firm><firm><name>L.I.M.B.</name><link>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/limb</link></firm><firm><name>Paper Battery</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_battery</link></firm><firm><name>Ithos</name><link>http://www.ithosglobal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EtherMetrics</name><link>http://www.ethermetrics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HeliOptix</name><link>http://helioptix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bluestone Telecommunications</name><link>http://www.bluestonecomm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Voice Flight</name><link>http://www.voiceflight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prospect Genius</name><link>http://www.prospectgenius.com/</link></firm><firm><name>1st Playable Productions</name><link>http://1stplayable.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ecovative Design</name><link>http://www.ecovativedesign.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Deadman's Productions</name><link>http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/deadmans-curve/production-details.html</link></firm><firm><name>Intellidemia</name><link>http://intellidemia.com/home/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>MICROrganic Technologies</name><link>http://microrganictech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OvenAlly</name><link>http://ovenally.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tidy Tots</name><link>http://stores.tidytots.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Dkorr</name><link>http://www.dkorr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TV Ferret</name><link>http://tvferret.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vegawatt</name><link>http://vegawatt.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Richard Frederick, Director</name><email>Freder2@rpi.edu</email></member></management></company><company><codes><code>A</code></codes><name>Rochester Angel Network</name><website>www.rochesterangels.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry></industries><address><address1>c/o High Tech Rochester, Inc.</address1><address2>150 Lucius Gordon Drive, Suite 100</address2><city>W.

Founded in 2005, the group meets monthly to listen to presentations by one or two selected entrepreneurs, and is actively seeking applications from both entrepreneurs who are seeking funding, as well as investors interested in becoming a member of the Network. Typical attributes of a company that would be of interest to the Rochester Angel Network include those with high-growth potential (e.g., tens of millions of dollars in revenue or more), a national or international customer base, a completed business plan, a reasonable exit strategy within 4-7 years of investment (i.e., a merger/ acquisition or IPO), and seeking investment typically in the $250K - $2M range.

Within this segment, the firm has historically focused on niche manufacturing industries, including building products, infrastructure, specialty packaging and specialty manufacturing. During its 24 years of activity, Stonebridge has invested over $550 million of capital in 52 separate acquisitions. Stonebridge seeks to acquire privately owned companies or divisions of public companies primarily serving the industrial or commercial marketplaces. The firm's principal focus is manufacturing companies, where the Partners have substantial experience. Core companies must be based in the continental United States or Canada; add-on acquisition candidates can be located anywhere in the world. Stonebridge acquires niche manufacturing businesses with revenues typically between $30 million and $200 million, and EBITDA between $7 million and $20 million. The firm particularly seeks companies where manufacturing equipment, processes, technology, patents, brand identity and/or reputation provide sustainable barriers to entry for potential competitors. Stonebridge prefers to invest in industries that are growing, however mature industries, where consolidation opportunities and/or well-defined value opportunities exist, are also considered.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BondCote</name><link>http://www.bondcote.com/</link></firm><firm><name>USA Wireless Solutions</name><link>http://www.stonebridgepartners.com/usa.html</link></firm><firm><name>Boyd</name><link>http://www.boydgaming.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alpha Packaging</name><link>http://www.alphap.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Durcon Laboratory</name><link>http://www.durcon.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Dryer</name><link>http://www.amdry.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Specialty Bakers</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmcmmd1/specialty-bakers-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Attica Hydraulic Exchange</name><link>http://www.ahx1.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Exal Group</name><link>http://www.exal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hydraulex Global</name><link>http://www.hydraulex.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Michael S.

Topspin started its buyout practice in July 2001 with the acquisition of Terk Technologies, a manufacturer of branded antennas and other consumer electronics products. Since that time, Topspin I has completed three other buyouts, and successfully exited from two of its buyouts: Terk Technologies in July 2005 and Coastal Security Company, a security alarm monitoring company based in Florida, in November 2005. The other two companies that remain in Topspin I's buyout portfolio are The Tiffen Company, a manufacturer and distributor of photographic accessories, and Moose River Publishing, a trade publisher. While the firm invests in companies anywhere in the U.S., Topspin intends to actively pursue opportunities in the underserved Long Island market. The firm looks to invest in companies with between $2 million and $7 million of EBITDA.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Moose River Media</name><link>http://www.mooserivermedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Tiffen Company</name><link>http://www.tiffen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Utrecht Manufacturing</name><link>http://www.utrechtart.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IDS Sports</name><link>http://www.ids-sports.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hart Systems</name><link>http://www.hartsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pulse Veterinary Technologies</name><link>http://www.pulsevet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Two-Twenty Records Management</name><link>http://2-20rm.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Leo A.

The Funding Division assists researchers in finding "gap" funding for development and commercialization activities. The New York State Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) at the University at Buffalo provides gap funding to support the creation of technology prototypes or proof-of-concept, with assistance from an industry partner. Located near University of Buffalo's Amherst Campus, the incubator is a 40,000-square-foot multi-tenant facility subdivided into offices and lab suites ranging from 277 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet. The space is suitable for office operations, research and development, assembly, or light manufacturing. The UB Technology Incubator, located in the Baird Research Park, supports the creation of new technology-based businesses by providing affordable business services to entrepreneurs. Since its inception in 1988, the program has assisted more than sixty tenants and graduates, boasting a 75 percent survival rate. Aggregate employment by those companies is 455 people, and annual revenues exceed $60 million. The business incubation program provides assistance in four main areas: Flexible rental terms for office and wet laboratory space; Administrative support services; General business assistance in the form of coaching, counseling, mentoring and networking; and access to UB resources, facilities and purchasing power. The incubator is affiliated with the Western New York Business Development Fund, which provides seed capital for area high-tech businesses. Both the incubator (and park) emphasize formation of international networks for furthering global business expansion, and currently has companies or networking relationships from Canada, Ireland, Germany, France, Japan and India.</description><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>Academic Management Systems</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmnv45p/academic-management-systems-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Numitec</name><link>https://www.numitec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ONY</name><link>http://www.sony.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sprung-brett RDI</name><link>http://sprung-brett.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wallace Wireless</name><link>http://www.wallacewireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TREK</name><link>http://www.trekbikes.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Academic Software Plus</name><link>http://academicsoftwareplus.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Advanced Cancer TheranostX</name><link>http://act-inc.net/</link></firm><firm><name>BridgeComposites</name><link>http://bridgecomposites.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GSELearning Software</name><link>http://www.gselearning.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ladybug Teknologies</name><link>http://ladybugteknologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Programmable Equipment Company</name><link>http://www.linkedin.com/company/programmable-equipment-company</link></firm><firm><name>The Randforce Associates</name><link>http://randforce.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TPF Enterprises</name><link>http://www.tpfenterprises.us/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Robert J.

Since 1993, the firm has invested in over 65 companies, primarily in the Healthcare and Technology sectors. With headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, Chrysalis has offices in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor and Houston. Chrysalis currently has investments in 20 states across the United States, but prefers to invest in the "under-ventured" Midwest and South regions of the country. Chrysalis actively sources and nurtures promising early-stage and expansion-stage companies, and occasionally invests in other select opportunities (e.g., roll-ups). The firm rarely invests at the seed-stage and prefers to invest in companies that are already generating revenue in the $1 to $5 million range. Chrysalis typically invests at least $2 million in the first institutional private equity financing (the "A round") in the form of a preferred security. The firm will invest in later rounds of promising companies, up to a total of approximately $15 million in a single portfolio company.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Achieve CCA</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=53126327</link></firm><firm><name>bCatalyst Advisors</name><link>http://www.hlinvestmentbanking.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cybera</name><link>http://www.cybera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digitalsmiths</name><link>http://www.digitalsmiths.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Asterand</name><link>http://www.asterand.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CerviLenz</name><link>http://www.cervilenz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chronicity</name><link>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/chronicity</link></firm><firm><name>Connecture</name><link>http://www.connecture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Construction Software Technologies</name><link>http://isqft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Continuum</name><link>http://continuuminnovation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Foundation Radiology Group</name><link>http://www.foundationradiologygroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Golden State Overnight Delivery Services</name><link>http://www.gso.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HCCA Holdings</name><link>http://www.chrysalisventures.com/2002/09/hcca-holdings-inc-parent-of-hcca-international/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthTeacher</name><link>http://www.healthteacher.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Integrated Broadband Services</name><link>http://www.ibbs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedLab</name><link>http://www.themedlab.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mobile Armor</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_armor</link></firm><firm><name>My Health Direct</name><link>http://myhealthdirect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NextImage Medical</name><link>http://www.nextimagemedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Open Kernel Labs</name><link>http://www.ok-labs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Regent Education</name><link>http://www.regenteducation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sanovia</name><link>http://sanovia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StraighterLine</name><link>http://www.straighterline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TechSkills</name><link>http://www.techskills.edu/</link></firm><firm><name>Ygnition</name><link>http://www.ygnition.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AfterBOT</name><link>http://afterbot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intervention Insights</name><link>http://interventioninsights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>meQuilibrium</name><link>https://www.mequilibrium.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David A.

Eleven former executives with expertise in marketing, operations, manufacturing, finance, information technology, technological innovation, accounting, real estate, oil and gas, as well as overall corporate management, are driven to have Daylight Partners take an active role in helping mid-stage companies with their growth initiatives. While having made investments nationally, Daylight Partners has a particular affinity for Texas-based companies. Daylight Partners seeks to make investments in companies which have both revenue and product, and are also seeking expertise as well as capital to fund expansion.

EDCO's goals are to create innovative companies and thereby increase living wage jobs in economically distressed areas of Texas. EDCO is a 501(c)(3) economic development non-profit organization. EDCO has two models of engaging with innovative, early-stage companies that have met appropriate business opportunity and social impact criteria. One is called the Venture model, and the other is the BizLaunch program. In both cases, EDCO staff provides mentorship and guidance, and the companies receive access to experienced industry executives. However, a select group of companies receive a seed-level capital investment from EDCO, and a higher level of EDCO staff engagement, classifying them as EDCO ventures. Target industries include: Green and Clean Technologies, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, and Software and Web 2.0.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>re:char</name><link>http://www.re-char.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PG Corp</name><link>http://www.pgecorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kenaf Boards and Butanol</name><link>http://www.compositesworld.com/suppliers/kenafind</link></firm><firm><name>Regenevita</name><link>http://regenevita.com/home.html</link></firm><firm><name>Paratinovia.com</name><link>http://paratinovia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Unlimited Juice</name><link>http://unlimited-juice.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Festina Networks</name><link>http://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/Austin/festina-networks-llc/39330884.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Uno800Hispano</name><link>http://twitter.com/1800HISPANO</link></firm><firm><name>MiniDonations</name><link>http://minidonations.org/</link></firm><firm><name>ShareOnce</name><link>http://www.shareonce.com/GAHCC/</link></firm><firm><name>Cherry Fusion</name><link>http://www.cherryfusion.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PikLuk</name><link>http://www.pikluk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MediaStove</name><link>http://mediastove.com/</link></firm><firm><name>KPS Partners</name><link>http://www.kpsfund.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Teofilo Tijerina, Executive Director and Co-Founder, 915-539-5552</name><email>teo.tijerina@edcoonline.org</email></member><member><name>Laura Bosworth-Bucher, Venture Executive</name><email>laura.bosworth@edcoonline.org</email></member><member><name>Morgan Simon, Director of Strategy and Business Development</name><email>morgan.simon@edcoonline.org</email></member><member><name>Leo A.

ESC seeks transactions in which it can invest $25-$100 million of equity and that present opportunities to invest additional equity as the company executes its growth plan. The firms' upstream affiliate, Energy Trust Partners, targets equity investments of $40-$100 million in oil and gas exploration and development opportunities by investing in operating companies, specific asset purchases and drilling projects.  </description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Aspen Pipeline</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=31012576</link></firm><firm><name>The Ceritas Group</name><link>http://ceritasgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clear Creek Energy Services</name><link>http://clearcreek-es.com/</link></firm><firm><name>C&amp;J Specialty Rental Tools</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mm4twvg/c-j-specialty-rental-tools</link></firm><firm><name>Forrest Drilling Company</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=26363841</link></firm><firm><name>Frontier Midstream</name><link>http://www.frontierenergyllc.com/contact_frontier.html</link></firm><firm><name>High Sierra Energy</name><link>http://www.highsierraenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hoover Energy Partners</name><link>http://hooverenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Laser Midstream II</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtmkv7t/laser-midstream</link></firm><firm><name>Midstream Energy Services</name><link>http://midstreamenergyllc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Costar Midstream</name><link>http://www.costarmidstream.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tristate Midstream</name><link>http://www.tsmidstream.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Velocity Midstream</name><link>http://velocitymidstream.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>James P.

Eschelon is geared for less competitive, smaller capitalization ($50-$250M) investment opportunities that have a base of existing cash flow but are in need of growth capital. Critical parameters used by Eschelon in its evaluation of such opportunities are the quality of management, viability of the business plan, value add of investment partners, and appropriate valuation and governance. Important to the success of Eschelon is its hands-on involvement in the execution of its portfolio companies' business plans and active influence on their corporate governance. Eschelon targets "small-cap" businesses with enterprise values of less than $250 million across the energy value chain in the U.S. and Canada.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Chroma Exploration and Production</name><link>http://chromaexpl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Itron</name><link>http://www.itron.com/pages/about.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Saber Resources</name><link>http://saber-resources.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pine Brook Partners</name><link>http://pinebrookpartners.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Milagro Exploration</name><link>http://www.milagroexploration.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Strand Energy</name><link>http://strandenergy.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Thomas S.

GateBridge seeks investments where it can earn long-term, high rates of return on its capital, by taking equity stakes in companies in partnership with a management team. While the firm's primary focus is on technology related companies, GateBridge will consider, and has experience with, non-technology companies as well. Because it is not an institutional fund, GateBridge can be much more flexible than a traditional private equity firm and can consider a broad range of investments sizes: from very small early stage investments to arranging complex large transactions requiring $100 million of capital or more. Also, because GateBridge does not operate a fund with a finite life, it can take a much longer term perspective on its investments than a traditional private equity fund. GateBridge has particular expertise in both the software and medical industries. GateBridge is skilled at successfully helping companies manage the transition from small start-up to thriving enterprise, or alternatively from corporate division to stand-alone enterprise.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Ortho Kinematics</name><link>http://orthokinematics.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>John Rodakis</name></member></management></company><company><codes><code>VC</code></codes><name>Genesis Campus, LP</name><website>www.genesiscampus.com</website><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Semiconductor</industry></industries><address><address1>16475 Dallas Parkway, Suite 620</address1><city>Addison</city><state>TX</state><zip>75001</zip><phone>972-991-9942 </phone><fax>972-669-7873</fax></address><description>Genesis Campus was founded in 2001 by serial entrepreneur and investor Wu-Fu Chen and wireless industry pioneer Roman Kikta.

Since 1850, the Hixon Family has been building businesses and providing capital to exceptional entrepreneurs. The Hixon family via the Gideon Hixon Fund, its predecessors Midland Investment Company, HixVen and its partnership with Southwest Venture Partners, have had the opportunity to be part of success stories such as AMP, Apple Computer, Dell Computer, Xiotech, and CorSolutions. The firm's partners are generalists and will invest across most stages and across industries. The fund will invest as little as $100K and usually invest anywhere from $500K to $1.5M over the life of an investment. Gideon Hixon prefers to invest in the United States and does not invest in "sin" industries or products/services that it feels have negative social ramifications. The firm also engages in Fund of Funds investing, having made investments in Affinity Capital Management, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Velocity Equity Partners.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Chimeros</name><link>http://www.dfjfrontier.com/cgi-portfolio/artman/publish/printer_chimeros.shtml</link></firm><firm><name>iGrok</name><link>http://igroksolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tokutek</name><link>http://www.tokutek.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hansen Engine</name><link>http://hansen-engine.com/6501/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Marval Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.biocentury.com/companies/marval_therapeutics_inc</link></firm><firm><name>ShotSpotter</name><link>http://www.shotspotter.com/technology</link></firm><firm><name>GenBand</name><link>http://www.genband.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BOOM!

The Houston Technology Center is the Gulf Coast RCIC, partnering with the Greater Houston Partnership, Economic Development Organizations and universities throughout the 30-county region. The Gulf Coast RCIC processes applications for ETF Commercialization Grants from companies located within the Gulf Coast region. ETF awards have been announced to forty-one Gulf Coast region companies, eligible to receive up to $50,179,520. All Gulf Coast region awardees are able to take advantage of one year of Client Services from the Houston Technology Center (see profile). For-profit companies that have raised less than $500,000 in prior equity investments are qualified to apply for a Pre-Seed Commercialization Award of up to $250,000. These businesses may be earlier stage companies, with less mature management teams and business plans. The State will reserve $1,000,000 of ETF funding for Pre-Seed awardees. The awardee will receive up to $250,000 for an initial project, and upon project completion can request their remaining ETF funding. The first $500,000 received in ETF funding may be in the form of convertible debt. Businesses receiving Pre-Seed Commercialization Awards may have up to 30 months to raise matching funds from qualified investors. Renewal of the Texas Emerging Technology Fund is currently under consideration by the Texas Legislature, to extend the program for FY 2012-2013. There is a possibility there will not be funding of the Regional Centers of Commercialization and Innovation (RCICs) or for new TETF awards, starting in September 2011. Based on this uncertainty, the TETF Advisory Committee has chosen to delay the next funding round (Round 22). </description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Bellicum Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.bellicum.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Molecular LogiX</name><link>http://molecularlogix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CorInnova</name><link>http://www.corinnova.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endothelix</name><link>http://www.endothelix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Animal Innovations</name><link>http://www.animalinnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Apaxis Medical</name><link>http://www.apaxismedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AuricX Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.auricx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BetaBatt</name><link>http://www.betabatt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Blue Box Health</name><link>http://houstontech.org/directories/blue-box-health-inc/</link></firm><firm><name>Castle Biosciences</name><link>http://castlebiosciences.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cormedics</name><link>http://cormedicscorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DNAtriX</name><link>http://www.dnatrix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endothelix</name><link>http://www.endothelix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ensysce Biosciences</name><link>http://ensysce.com/</link></firm><firm><name>itRobotics</name><link>http://itrobotics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Laser Tissue Welding</name><link>http://www.lasertissuewelding.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LaserGen</name><link>http://lasergen.com/wordpress/</link></firm><firm><name>Nano3D Biosciences</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/people.asp?privcapId=107880795</link></firm><firm><name>NanoComposites</name><link>http://www.nanocompositesinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Oncolix</name><link>http://oncolixbio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OrthoAccel</name><link>http://www.acceledent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PLx Pharma</name><link>http://www.plxpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RadioMedix</name><link>http://radiomedix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Salient Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://salientpharmaceuticals.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ScanTech Sciences</name><link>http://scantechsciences.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Terrabon</name><link>http://www.terrabon.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Veros Systems</name><link>http://www.verossystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Visualise</name><link>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/visualise</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Bob Prochnow, Director</name><email>bprochnow@houstontech.org</email></member><member><name>Deborah Mansfield, Associate Director</name><email>dmansfield@houstontech.org</email></member></management></company><company><codes><code>MB</code></codes><name>GulfStar Group</name><website>www.gulfstargroup.com</website><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry></industries><address><address1>700 Louisiana Street, Suite 3800</address1><city>Houston</city><state>TX</state><zip>77002</zip><phone>713-300-2020</phone><fax>713-300-2021</fax></address><description>Founded in 1990, GulfStar Group is a middle market investment and merchant banking firm headquartered in the Southwest.

Formed in 2001, Hunt has continually pursued companies with clinical efficacy data or strong human proxy data, which has typically meant companies with products in various stages of clinical trials. Although the firm usually targets later stage companies, Hunt will occasionally pursue pre-clinical opportunities, especially those with exceptional management teams. Another important component of the strategy is to invest alongside other experienced life science investors in either a "co-lead" or "follower" manner. Hunt invests $2 million to $5 million per round of a company's evolution with no ceiling on the total capital invested in any one company. Although Hunt operates much like a fund, it does not manage third party capital but instead invests capital generated by other Hunt affiliates.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Athenix</name><link>http://www.athenixinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Morphotek</name><link>http://www.morphotek.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MacroGenics</name><link>http://www.macrogenics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Acorda</name><link>http://www.acorda.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Myogen</name><link>http://www.myogen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Salmedix</name><link>http://www.cephalon.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sirtris</name><link>http://sirtrispharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Synageva</name><link>http://www.synageva.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cempra Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.cempra.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OvaScience</name><link>http://ovascience.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Mike Bierman, Managing Director</name><email>mbierman@huntgrowthcapital.com</email></member></management></company><company><codes><code>PE</code></codes><name>Hunt Capital Group</name><website>www.huntcapital.com</website><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Sports &amp; Entertainment</industry></industries><address><address1>1601 Elm Street, Suite 4000 </address1><city>Dallas</city><state>TX</state><zip>75201</zip><phone>214-720-1600 </phone><fax>214-720-1662</fax></address><description>In 1993, the private investment activities of the Lamar Hunt family were institutionalized with the creation of Hunt Capital Group, a private equity investment firm providing equity capital for growth companies, industry consolidations, and change of ownership transactions throughout the Southwestern United States.

NLM targets profitable businesses with a track record of increasing their intrinsic value over time. The firm prefers businesses with a sustainable franchise and substantial growth opportunities. Over the last 20 years, NLM's team has committed over $3.5 billion to 157 companies in a variety of industries. NLM primarily invests the personal capital of its limited partners and managers. This approach allows the firm to take a long-term, value-oriented perspective. NLM closed its second fund, NLM Capital Partners II, LP in May, 2007 with total commitments of $55,000,000, bringing total capital under management to nearly $100,000,000. Every original investor from NLM's first fund recommitted to the new fund. The firm's target transaction size is $15-$150 million with equity investments between $3-$30 million. Generally, NLM will not pursue an investment in any entity or business whose success depends on the widespread acceptance of new or novel technology; that has limited operating revenues; or that is engaged in direct retail activity, the restaurant business, or any oil or natural gas related business.</description><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Avadyne Health</name><link>http://avadynehealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Benchmark Revenue Management</name><link>http://benchmarkrevenue.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Greenstone Resource Partners</name><link>http://www.greenstonerp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>H&amp;R Accounts</name><link>http://www.answers.com/topic/h-r-accounts-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Highlands Bancshares</name><link>http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/blog/morning_call/2011/12/viewpoint-financial-to-buy-highlands.html</link></firm><firm><name>Miller Drilling</name><link>http://www.millerdrilling.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Millmark Education</name><link>http://www.millmarkeducation.com/index.cfm</link></firm><firm><name>Sapling Learning</name><link>http://www.saplinglearning.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SUNRx</name><link>https://www.sunrx.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Randy Chappel, President</name><email>rchappel@nlmcapital.com</email></member><member><name>James Collet, Managing Director</name><email>jcollet@nlmcapital.com</email></member><member><name>Bradley McBride, Associate</name><email>bmcbride@nlmcapital.com</email></member></management></company><company><codes><code>A</code></codes><name>North Dallas Investment Group (NDIG)</name><website>www.chapmanhext.com/north-dallas-investment-group-inc-landings-50.html</website><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Real Estate</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry></industries><address><address1>c/o Chapman, Hext &amp; Co., P.C.</address1><address2>301 South Sherman, Ste. 200</address2><city>Richardson</city><state>TX</state><zip>75081-4176</zip><phone>972-644-7112 ext. 307</phone><fax>972-680-8685</fax></address><description>NDIG provides a capital raising forum for startup, early stage and middle market companies.

To date, the ETF has awarded over $290 million to Texas companies and universities. A 17-member advisory committee of high-tech leaders, entrepreneurs and research experts reviews potential projects and recommends funding allocations to the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house. The goal of the ETF Commercialization Awards is to grow new small businesses and help existing businesses accelerate new products and services to the marketplace. Commercialization awards provide selected, early-stage investments in new, technology-based, private entrepreneurial entities that collaborate with public or private institutions of higher education in Texas, and which, if successful, may provide significant economic benefit to the state. Priority for funding is given to proposals that involve emerging scientific or technology fields that have a reasonable probability of enhancing Texas' national and global economic competitiveness. For-profit companies that have raised less than $500,000 in prior equity investments are qualified to apply for a Pre-Seed Com-mercialization Award of up to $250,000. These businesses may be earlier stage companies with less mature management teams and business plans. The State will reserve $1,000,000 of ETF funding for Pre-Seed awardees. The awardee will receive up to $250,000 for an initial project, and upon project completion can request their remaining ETF funding. The first $500,000 received in ETF funding may be in the form of convertible debt. Businesses receiving Pre-Seed Commercialization Awards may have up to 30 months to raise matching funds from qualified investors.</description><address><address1>c/o Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism</address1><address2>1100 San Jacinto</address2><city>Austin</city><state>TX</state><zip>78701</zip><phone>512-936-0100</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>America Stem Cell</name><link>http://www.americastemcell.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ensysce Biosciences</name><link>http://ensysce.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ortho Kinematics</name><link>http://orthokinematics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Receptor Logic</name><link>http://receptorlogic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chipotle Business Group</name><link>http://www.chipotlegroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Modria</name><link>http://www.modria.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wham!</name><link>http://www.13wham.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solarno</name><link>http://solarno.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DNAtriX</name><link>http://www.dnatrix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Faradox Energy Storage</name><link>http://faradox.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jonathan Taylor, Director, 512-936-0501</name><email>jonathan.taylor@gov.texas.gov</email></member><member><name>Patrick Boswell, Investments Manager, 512-463-6735</name><email>patrick.boswell@gov.texas.gov</email></member><member><name>Bryan W.

Founded in 2003, BioGenerator has been funded through the generosity of the McDonnell Family Foundation, the Danforth Foundation, Bunge North America, the Monsanto Fund and CORTEX. BioGenerator's mission is to support economic development and job growth in the St. Louis region. To accomplish this, BioGenerator identifies promising technologies and services, and works with the researcher or entrepreneur to build a successful and sustainable company. BioGenerator provides assistance, possibly with pre-seed or seed funding, at the early stages of new company formation, with continued support to milestones of follow-on funding or sustainable revenue. BioGenerator invests up to $50,000 for pre-seed companies and up to $250,000 for seed stage companies. The BioGenerator Seed Fund was launched in 2003 to provide an early stage investment mechanism for regional plant and life science companies.

BizCapital investments typically are straight debt instruments, debt with warrants, or convertible debentures in the preferred industries of basic manufacturing, marine transportation, retail, health services, and energy. Investments range from as small as $250,000 to as large as $5,000,000, and in most cases are secured or semi-secured by fixed asset collateral.

Supported by Momentum Chippewa Valley, the network is owned and operated by its member angel investors. It meets monthly to view presentations from businesses that have been pre-screened and invited to present. By the end of 2009 the CVAIN membership had invested over $3 million in seven early stage companies in the Chippewa Valley and surrounding region, including the Twin Cities and Madison. The Chippewa Valley Angel Investors Network is currently made up of 17 member investors. To date, the portfolio has not produced a harvest for the investors.	</description><address><address1>P.O.

BlackRock Kelso Capital was formed in 2005 by management, BlackRock, Inc. and principals of Kelso &amp; Company. BlackRock Kelso has capital resources exceeding $1 billion. Since the commencement of its operations, the firm's team of investment professionals has evaluated more than 2,400 investment opportunities and completed more than 130 investments, aggregating over $2.7 billion in capital provided to middle-market companies through June 2012. Unlike traditional private equity firms, BlackRock is comfortable making non-control investments in middle-market companies in all industries. BlackRock's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The firm invests primarily in middle-market companies and targets investments throughout the capital structure to provide an attractive risk-adjusted return, with investments ranging between $10 million and $50 million. BlackRock generally targets companies with EBITDA or operating cash flow of $10 - $50 million.</description><address><address1>227 West Monroe Street, 29th Floor</address1><city>Chicago</city><state>IL</state><zip>60606</zip><phone>312-407-9970 </phone><fax>312-407-9981</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Alpha Media Group</name><link>http://www.alphamedia.net/</link></firm><firm><name>American Residential Services</name><link>http://www.ars.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American SportWorks</name><link>http://www.amsportworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Arclin US Holdings</name><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/company-snapshot/Arclin_US_Holdings_Inc-4065868</link></firm><firm><name>Bankruptcy Management Solutions</name><link>http://www.bms7.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Conney Safety Products</name><link>http://www.conney.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DynaVox Systems</name><link>http://www.dynavoxtech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Electrical Components International</name><link>http://www.ecintl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Facet Technologies</name><link>http://www.facettechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fitness Together Franchise</name><link>http://corp.fitnesstogether.com/</link></firm><firm><name>M&amp;M Tradition Holdings</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=106839540</link></firm><firm><name>A&amp;A Manufacturing</name><link>http://www.aamfg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Advanced Lighting Technologies</name><link>http://www.adlt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AGY Holding </name><link>http://www.agy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AmQuip Crane Rental</name><link>http://www.amquip.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Dial Global</name><link>http://www.dialglobal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Grocery Outlet</name><link>http://www.groceryoutlet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InterMedia Outdoors</name><link>http://www.imoutdoorsmedia.com/IM3/</link></firm><firm><name>Marsico Holdings</name><link>http://www.marsicofunds.com/index.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Renaissance Learning</name><link>http://www.renlearn.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sur La Table</name><link>http://www.surlatable.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>James R.

The Center's mission is to stimulate the development and commercialization of advanced technology by transforming the intellectual property in the region into successful enterprises, minimizing the management and financial risks faced in the early stages by entrepreneurs in the technology sector. Tenant clients are housed in the Peoria NEXT Innovation Center and have access to a variety of resources. The building, which is owned by the Heartland Commerce and Economic Development Foundation, is managed by the Bradley Technology Commercialization Center. The BTCC assists startup technology oriented companies with business development and funding. The building, which can house up to 27 companies, has 48,000 square feet spread across 3 different levels. Before leasing space, potential tenants must complete a due diligence process to determine their ability to succeed and operate in an incubator environment. Once a company has "graduated" from the Innovation Center it will then move to its own facility in the community.</description><address><address1>801 W.

Devers, Jr. as a vehicle for his own private investments in the software area. After years of successful investing, the principals at DGI recognized a need for matching other high net worth investors seeking venture-type investments with quality companies who needed financing, but not in an amount that would attract a typical venture capital firm. In response, DGI created Devers Private Equity Ventures, LLC. Devers Private Equity invests in high tech organizations at an early growth stage of development. Ideally, the company has a product in place, revenues, and is seeking financing for growth and roll out of their product or service. The average investment size is in the range of $500,000 to $1,500,000 and might be straight equity or some combination of debt and equity. The typical investment horizon is less than five years.</description><address><address1>1200 Central Avenue, Suite 306</address1><city>Wilmette</city><state>IL</state><zip>60091</zip><phone>847-920-1678 </phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Showingtime.com</name><link>http://www.showingtime.com/Default.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Doubletime</name><link>http://www.doubletime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Collatech</name><link>http://www.thefreelibrary.com/CollaTech+Inc.+Publishes+BizTalk+Framework+for+eCommerce+Distribution...-a055731684</link></firm><firm><name>Brightroom</name><link>http://brightroom.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lexington Software</name><link>http://lextn.com/</link></firm><firm><name>U.S. Shuttle</name><link>http://us.shuttle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Global Turnkey Systems</name><link>http://gtsystems.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>William J.

BioCrossroads initiative seeks to strengthen Indiana's life science base by encouraging commercialization efforts, expanding access to capital, and supporting new business formation. Among several initiatives, the organization established in 2003 the Indiana Future Fund, a $73 million fund-of-funds managed by Credit Suisse. In the fund-of-funds structure, investments are made in venture capital funds, which then invest directly into companies. Additionally, BioCrossroads has established the $6 million, return-driven Indiana Seed Fund, launched in June 2005, and managed by BioCrossroads. The Seed Fund provides working capital in the range of $50,000-$500,000 to promising Indiana life sciences companies at the preliminary stages of operation. In December 2009, the $58 million INext Fund, a venture capital fund of funds, was established with institutional investors Eli Lilly and Company, Indiana State Teachers Retirement Fund, Indiana University, Purdue University, University of Notre Dame and Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation. BioCrossroads organized the fund and Credit Suisse manages it. BioCrossroads formed the Indiana Seed Fund II in early 2012.  The Indiana Seed Fund II is an $8 million early-stage life sciences venture fund focused on identifying, creating and developing the next generation of leading Indiana-based companies. Managed by BioCrossroads, the Fund is a follow-on to Indiana Seed Fund I. The Fund makes investments of up to $1 million in early-stage biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, ag-biotech and health information technology products and platforms and will continue to focus on forming promising companies around innovative ideas.</description><address><address1>300 N.

Research and Technology Fund was created in 1999 by the General Assembly to stimulate the process of diversifying the State's economy by developing and commercializing advanced technologies in Indiana. The 21 Fund provides financial support for new companies making the transitional leap from general R&amp;D to product development. Awards are disbursed to early stage development projects over a period of two years or less. The dollar amount of the award may be up to $5 million, although awards greater than $2 million are extremely uncommon. The Fund makes awards based on peer reviewers comprised of science and technology researchers. Previous awards have been made in companies specializing in Aerospace/Defense/Security, Manufacturing/Engineering, Communications/Electronics, Energy/Environment/ Agriculture, Information Technology/Software Development and Life Sciences/Health Care. As of April 2011, Indiana's 21st Century Fund became managed by Elevate Ventures, under contract with the IEDC and the State of Indiana.

KB Partners manages two venture funds totaling in excess of $95 million. KB Partners got its start by making a series of angel investments in order to establish a track record and name for itself. It has since raised two early stage technology oriented traditional venture capital funds, KB Partners Venture Fund I and KB Partners Venture Fund II, from a group of high net worth individuals and institutional investors. Both funds have been fully invested and Bank and Denenberg are now investing personal capital in individual deals in combination with a variety of co-investors, in lieu of raising any additional institutional venture funds. They are both actively involved in Versatile Sports Partners, a Chicago based firm created to pursue select investment opportunities in the golf and sports industries, along with related real estate situations. The firm focuses its investment activities primarily in the following areas: Communications, Computer Hardware and Software, Indus-trial/Engineering Technology and Products, Information Technology, Internet Infrastructure, Medical Devices and Diagnostics, and Semiconductors.

Linden's investment strategy is to purchase controlling equity interests in privately held companies and non-core businesses that can benefit from strategic redirection, operational improvements, acquisitions and additions to the management team. Linden invests primarily in leveraged buyouts or other late stage transactions where it can be the lead investor or otherwise have significant governance influence. Linden does not make venture capital investments.

North American's focus is the acquisition of small businesses with annual revenues of approximately $5 million to $40 million, and EBITDA of $500,000 to $5 million, preferably reflected in the last twelve months results. The firm, however, will consider companies which can demonstrate a sustainable annualized EBITDA of at least $500,000. North American will consider the following industries: Manufacturing, Food &amp; Beverage, Medical Services, Consumer Products or Services, Value Added Distribution/Logistics, Business Services, Education Services, and Financial Services. The industry may be either mature or fast-growing. North American's only limitation is that product life cycles be relatively stable. North American will not consider real estate-related investment opportunities. The Funds are managed by North American Business Development Companies, LLC, whose three founding principals have in excess of 70 years of combined experience in the business development process, and in managing and financing small businesses. Since 1990 the Chicago based team has acquired and exited from nine platform companies. Over an eight year average investment period, these platform companies grew from slightly more than $120 million revenue at acquisition to over $300 million revenue in the year of exit. </description><address><address1>135 S.

OCA Ventures is backed by the entrepreneurs who founded and built O'Connor &amp; Associates, the derivatives trading firm that was acquired by Swiss Bank (subsequently UBS). OCA Ventures historically has made direct venture investments as an arm of the O'Connor Partners Investment Office, a major Chicago investment firm. In 2001, OCA Ventures became an independent venture capital firm to build upon the successful direct early stage investment activity of the O'Connor Partners Investment Office. A typical initial investment for OCA Ventures is $1-2M with a target of $3-5M per company. OCA Ventures targets initial rounds of $6M or less. OCA is also opportunistic and will consider smaller and larger deals. The firm typically participates in a company's first round of institutional capital. This may range from seed stage (pre-product, pre-revenue) to expansion stage ($3-8M in revenue, near profitability). OCA Ventures has investments throughout the United States. OCA EDGE is OCA Ventures' seed investing program. OCA EDGE was created in response to the increase of attractive seed-stage investment opportunities and continued decline of the initial capital requirements for technology businesses.

Open Prairie Ventures was founded in 1999 as a venture capital firm focused on early-stage Midwest-based technolgy companies.  The first investment fund, Open Prairie Ventures I, L.P. (OPV I), was formerly licensed by the Small Business Administration as a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC).  In 2006, JIm Schultz, Michael Peck, and Dennis Beard recapitalized the SBA's Limited Partner interest in OPV I through a buyout of the SBA position.  OPV I completed fifteen investments with four successful exits, including the 2007 IPO of TomoTherapy (NASDAQ: TOMO) and has four active portfolio investments remaining. The firm's second fund, Open Prairie Ventures II, provides early-stage venture capital to companies focused on the convergence of ag-tech and life science technologies. The fund deploys less than $15 million of syndicated capital to develop, commercialize, and exit.  		</description><address><address1>400 East Jefferson </address1><city>Effingham</city><state>IL</state><zip>62410</zip><phone>217-347-1000</phone><fax>217-347-1001</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Compact Particle Acceleration</name><link>http://cpac.pro/</link></firm><firm><name>KCBioMediX</name><link>http://kcbiomedix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InfoBlox</name><link>http://www.infoblox.com/en/home.html</link></firm><firm><name>Epiworks</name><link>http://www.epiworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cernium</name><link>http://www.cernium.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vestaron</name><link>http://www.vestaron.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ISSI</name><link>http://www.issi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novita Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.novitatherapeutics.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jim Schultz, Founder &amp; Managing Partner</name><email>Jim@openprairie.com</email></member><member><name>Michael Peck, General Partner</name><email>Mike@openprairie.com</email></member><member><name>Dennis Beard, Chief Financial Officer &amp; General Partner</name><email>Dennis@openprairie.com</email></member><member><name>Jason Wrone, Vice President of Investments</name><email>Jason@openprairie.com</email></member><member><name>Pat Morand, President </name><email>pmorand@openprairie.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Origin Ventures</name><website>www.originventures.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Origin Ventures is a venture capital firm investing in early-stage companies.

Golder Thoma originated the "consolidation" or "buy and build" investment strategy which sought to combine the best of venture investing with the best of leveraged buyouts by investing in a "platform" business in a fragmented industry, and then working with management to transform it into a larger and more profitable business through internal growth and a series of strategic, industry consolidating acquisitions. Thoma Bravo's strategy has been refined through nine private equity investment funds representing almost $4 billion in committed capital. The firm seeks to invest in established companies that have a history of profitability, earnings (EBITDA) greater than $10 million, and a strong management team with a record of accomplishment. Thoma Bravo's principal focus is on companies headquartered in the U.S., but the firm can invest elsewhere as well. Thoma Bravo's investments can be in the form of take-private transactions, buy-outs, management buy-outs, recapitalizations, roll-overs of a portion of existing equity, and growth equity investments. The firm's usual equity commitment is at least $25 million and can be as large as $200 million or more. Thoma Bravo invests across multiple industries, currently with a particular focus on enterprise and infrastructure software, education, distribution, financial services and consumer goods and services. The firm does not invest in new inventions or technologies, developmental products or services, business start-ups, the biological sciences, motion pictures, distressed businesses, oil and gas or real estate. </description><address><address1>300 N.

Plenary's investment philosophy and flexible funding structures provide an equity alternative to business owners seeking to grow and improve their businesses while planning for an eventual sale or recapitalization. The firm can partner with management sometimes months and even years before an ultimate transaction, providing a customized level of involvement at either the board or operating level. Plenary's principals have previously invested in and assisted several niche manufacturers, healthcare and consumer companies with everything from setting high-level business strategy to providing interim on-site, day-to-day management. Plenary's interest in special situation opportunities allows it to consider companies in a variety of stages or transitions, but ideally they are revenue-generating and cash flow positive. Plenary may consider late-stage venture opportunities under certain circumstances.	</description><address><address1>131 S.

The MIFs were originally formed to address economic issues related to rural flight, poverty and downtown decline, which were prevalent during the mid-1980s. The Initiative Foundation offers the following business financing programs to meet diverse regional needs:  Business Loans, Technology Business Loans, Green Business Loans, Small Business Loan Guaranties, and Seed Investments. The Foundation prioritizes technology-based and green businesses as well as value-added manufacturing and agriculture operations. Nontraditional business owners such as women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply. The Foundation operates a  Seed Capital Fund, designed to advance emerging entrepreneurial ventures by financing product concept, development and market research. Preference is given to projects exhibiting potential for substantial growth through the introduction of new products and services. In return for Seed Capital Fund investments, the Initiative Foundation may negotiate company equity or royalties that reflect the incurred risk. For business start-up and expansion projects, Initiative Foundation business financing programs meet the "gap" between the financing a local lender is able to provide and the equity the owner is able to contribute. Financial participation by a local lender is required. The Seed Capital fund's maximum investment amount is $50,000 per investment. Since its inception, Initiative Foundation invested more than $55.1 million in the region through targeted grants and business financing investments. In 2010, the Foundation also received a $750,000 CDFI grant to support the Technology &amp; Green Loan Funds.		</description><address><address1>405 First Street SE</address1><city>Little Falls</city><state>MN</state><zip>56345</zip><phone>877-632-9255/ 320-632-9255</phone><fax>320-632-9258</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Adjust to Wellness</name><link>http://adjusttowellness.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CDC Enterprises</name><link>http://www.cdcenterprises.us/</link></firm><firm><name>Midwest Calibration &amp; Repair</name><link>http://midwestcalibration.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CavCom</name><link>http://cavcominc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cru Wine Specialists</name><link>http://cruwineonline.com/aboutus.php</link></firm><firm><name>DJN, LLC</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmj2kjd/djn-properties-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Equipment Reliability Services</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtryndl/equipment-reliability-services-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Granger Machine</name><link>http://grangermachine.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Green Power Technology</name><link>http://www.greenpowertechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Larson Boats</name><link>http://larsonboats.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Link Corp.</name><link>http://linkcorp.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Kathy Gaalswyk, President, 320-631-2005</name><email>kgaalswyk@ifound.org</email></member><member><name>Lynn Houle-Bushinger, Vice President for Finance &amp; Operations, 320-631-2041</name><email>lhoule@ifound.org</email></member><member><name>Randy Olson, Vice President for Economic Opportunity</name><email>rolson@ifound.org</email></member><member><name>Matt Kilian, Vice President for External Relations</name><email>mkilian@ifound.org</email></member><member><name>Dan Bullert, Business Finance Officer</name><email>dbullert@ifound.org</email></member><member><name>Don Hickman, Vice President for Community &amp; Economic Development</name><email>dhickman@ifound.org</email></member></management></company><company><name>Lemhi Ventures</name><website>www.lemhiventures.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Lemhi Ventures invests exclusively in companies with innovative ideas that change the infrastructure and practices of the health care services industry.

The fund provides equity capital for company formation and to support these new ventures at early stages, when funding is most difficult to obtain. This evergreen fund--available to individuals with an IU connection-- provides seed capital to start, nurture, and grow technology start-ups, giving faculty and entrepreneurs a new resource for the support they need. Prior to funding, the Innovate Indiana Fund will coordinate with the founders/company to identify and agree upon the commercialization strategy and specific R&amp;D milestones to ensure that a clear road map is articulated at the earliest stages. Pre-seed investments are funds dedicated to technologies that are on a defined development path or that seek to answer a very specific commercial question. Seed investments support product finalization, customer acquisition, and activities for scaling up your start-up business.</description><address><address1>351 W. 10th Street</address1><city>Indianapolis</city><state>IN</state><zip>46202</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Aarden Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=116838746</link></firm><firm><name>ApeX Therapeutics</name><link>http://apextherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Courseload</name><link>http://www.courseload.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Brian Anderson, Analyst, 317-278-1912</name><email>jbander@iu.edu</email></member><member><name>Ken Green, Managing Director, 317-278-1910</name><email>kengreen@iupui.edu</email></member></management></company><company><name>Purdue Research Foundation</name><website>www.emerginginnovationsfund.org</website><codes><code>I</code><code>TT</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>On behalf of Purdue, the Research Foundation: 1) manages gifts, bequests and endowments; 2) makes funding available to faculty, staff and students to aid in scientific investigation, research or educational studies; 3) acquires, constructs and improves Purdue's facilities, grounds and equipment; and 4) manages intellectual property developed at Purdue.In 2008, the Purdue Research Foundation introduced the Emerging Innovations Fund, an integrated approach to research innovation, development and commercialization. A partnership between the Purdue Research Foundation and the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship, the Emerging Innovations Fund is an initiative that brings together ideas, management and money accelerate the commercialization of early-stage technologies in the Purdue community. New ventures formed by Purdue faculty, staff and students that are based on Purdue discoveries and Purdue Research Park companies are eligible to apply for development funding in amounts from $20,000 to $150,000. Funding can be used to develop prototypes, perform critical commercially-relevant development, and improve the probability of attracting the next level of funding. With four locations, the Purdue Research Park network has sites in West Lafayette, Indianapolis, Merrillville and New Albany. The park network has more than 200 companies that employ about 4,100 people.

KCP is the general partner of the Kegonsa Seed Fund I, LP, a seed venture capital fund, and the Kegonsa Coinvest Fund, LLC, an early stage growth venture capital fund. The Kegonsa Seed Fund I, LP had its final closing January 15, 2005. The Fund's committed capital is $10.725 million. Eleven of the 13 initial investments were seed venture capital investments (i.e., companies without revenues); 25 percent of the portfolio companies were created by Kegonsa Capital Partners management. In October 2007, the Fund experienced its first liquidity event when Jellyfish.com, a Fund portfolio company, was purchased for cash by Microsoft. This exit provided a return to Limited Partners of 15 times the Fund's initial investment. In May 2012, the Fund experienced its second liquidity event when Intelligent BioSystems, Inc, a Fund portfolio company, was purchased by QIAGEN. The exit provided a return of over three times the Fund's initial investment. The Fund's investment period ended January 15, 2010. To date, two of the 13 portfolio companies have failed and have been dissolved. Two portfolio companies have experienced an exit; one company completed a stock redemption repurchasing the Fund's stock; and eight companies are ongoing. The Seed Fund has a Wisconsin focus, as all eleven seed investments were made in companies headquartered in Wisconsin. In addition, one growth stage investment was made in a Boston company that was originally from Wisconsin. The Kegonsa Coinvest Fund is a Wisconsin-based growth stage investment fund. Since 2007 the Fund has made 13 investments totaling $7.6 million. 12 of the investments were in growth-stage companies (i.e., companies with revenue from product sales but who are not yet cash flow break even). The remaining investment was a late stage investment in which the Fund participated in an offering led by Goldman Sachs. Of the Fund's 13 investments, ten were made as part of a syndicate. Five of the ten syndicate offerings were led by the Fund. To date, one Fund portfolio company has had an exit; one portfolio company has been dissolved; and the remaining companies are ongoing. All of the Coinvest Fund portfolio companies are headquartered in Wisconsin.</description><address><address1>5520 Nobel Drive, Suite 150</address1><city>Fitchburg</city><state>WI</state><zip>53711</zip><phone>608-205-0100</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Intelligent Bio Systems</name><link>http://intelligentbiosystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jellyfish</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellyfish</link></firm><firm><name>Networked Insights</name><link>http://www.networkedinsights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>U.S. TrailMaps</name><link>http://www.ustrailmaps.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alice.com</name><link>http://alice.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brazen Careerist</name><link>http://www.brazencareerist.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Idle Free Systems</name><link>http://idlefreesystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NanoMedex Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://nanomedex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Semba Biosciences</name><link>http://sembabio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stealth Therapeutics</name><link>http://stealththerapeutics.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Kenneth U.

The office has licensed and commercialized hundreds of inventions, and at the same time developed a significant flow of income to support Mayo programs in education and research. Mayo Medical Ventures (MMV) is a division of the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. MMV was started in 1986 as a response to ever-tightening reimbursement for patient care services. MMV's charge is to generate new sources of revenue to support Mayo's clinical practice, medical education and medical research activities. Technology Based Ventures (TBV) allow Mayo to consider internal technologies as the basis for the formation of new medically related start-up companies. Mayo will invest its own funds in these companies when certain clearly defined criteria are met. The office is staffed by fifteen managers with broad training in science, technology, business and law.</description><address><address1>Minnesota BioBusiness Center, 4th Floor </address1><address2>221 First Avenue SW</address2><city>Rochester</city><state>MN</state><zip>55902</zip><phone>507-293-3900</phone><fax>507-284-5410</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>http://www.na.org/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Susan L.

With headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky and offices in Cleveland, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Ann Arbor, Mich., Chrysalis has $400 million under management and has made investments in over 65 companies. Chrysalis rarely invests at the seed-stage and prefers to invest in companies that are already generating revenue in the $1 to $5 million range.

Chrysalis will invest in later rounds of promising companies, up to a total of approximately $15 million in a single portfolio company. Chrysalis currently has investments in 20 states across the United States, but prefers to invest in the "under-ventured" Midwest and South regions of the country. </description><address><address1>115 West Huron St., Third Floor</address1><city>Ann Arbor</city><state>MI</state><zip>48104</zip><phone>734-864-0237</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AfterBOT</name><link>http://afterbot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Asterand</name><link>http://www.asterand.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CerviLenz</name><link>http://www.cervilenz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chronicity</name><link>http://chronicityinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Construction Software Technologies</name><link>http://isqft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Continuum 700</name><link>http://continuumwireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Connecture</name><link>http://connecture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cybera</name><link>http://www.cybera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IBBS</name><link>http://www.ibbs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digitalsmiths</name><link>http://www.digitalsmiths.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Foundation Radiology Group</name><link>http://www.foundationradiologygroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Golden State Overnight Delivery</name><link>http://www.gso.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HCCA Holdings</name><link>http://www.hccaintl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthTeacher</name><link>http://www.healthteacher.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intervention Inights</name><link>http://interventioninsights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedLab</name><link>http://www.themedlab.com/</link></firm><firm><name>meQuilibrium</name><link>http://mequilibrium.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyHealthDIRECT</name><link>http://myhealthdirect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NextImage Medical</name><link>http://nextimagemedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Open Kernel Labs</name><link>http://www.ok-labs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Regent Education</name><link>http://www.regenteducation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sanovia</name><link>http://sanovia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mobile Armor</name><link>http://www.mobilearmor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StraighterLine</name><link>http://www.straighterline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TechSkills</name><link>http://www.techskills.edu/</link></firm><firm><name>Ygnition</name><link>http://www.ygnition.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioSeek</name><link>http://bioseekinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xlerant</name><link>http://www.xlerant.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>David A.

This is accomplished by providing low-cost, mezzanine financing which will leverage owner equity so that the contemplated transaction will merit traditional financing. The fund will invest $500,000 to $2.5 million in a broad range of industries with a focus on manufacturing, distribution, and service companies and in the following types of projects: Residential and Community Development; Commercial and Industrial Expansion; or Relocation and Strategic Developments.

The team consists of experienced professionals with diverse life science backgrounds in research and development, business development, operations, marketing, clinical trials, finance, and patient care.  To date, Hopen has leveraged its network of life science expertise as well as financial capital to invest in a portfolio of early- to mid-stage companies that includes diagnostics, therapeutics, medical devices, and enabling technologies. Hopen seeks to invest $3 to $5 million over the life of the investment, but have the flexibility to do more or less. Hopen Fund I has invested in seven companies including one exit through a combination of initial and follow-on investments.  All six of the remaining invested assets continue to progress and have raised, in combination with its syndicated partners, a total of $110 million toward continued creation of investor value. In 2010, the Hopen leadership team decided to expand its investment pool to create a new Life Science venture fund, Hopen Fund II. Through this fund, Hopen will continue to build upon our fundamental approach to investing in leading edge life science opportunities. In July 2011, Hopen announced an initial close of $25 million for its second fund.

The Venture Center is the business unit within OTC that works with entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors to create start-up companies based on University research. The Venture Center also monitors and guides these start-ups until the occurrence of a liquidity event. The Center is capable of making  an "Ignition Investment," which is an early stage loan made of $10,000 to $50,000 to a University start-up company to help enable a successful launch. The Ignition Investment will go directly to the company as a loan before the first outside money is raised for the company.

The CTC, in collaboration with commercial partners, focuses on bringing new discoveries for improved health to the pediatric patient population. The CTC is responsible for (1) the identification and commercial assessment of discoveries; (2) the protection, primarily via patenting, of intellectual property; and (3) the commercialization of technologies through licensing partnerships and the formation of start-up companies. The CTC promotes and facilitates the clinical and commercial use of these discoveries of Cincinnati Children's, which result in additional revenues to support future research. CTC staff work closely with and encourages investigators at Cincinnati Children's to submit invention disclosures on promising new technologies for eventual commercial utility. The CTC consults with faculty and staff on topics related to industry relations, commercial development of inventions, patenting and patent strategy, licensing, and all other issues involving intellectual property and venture development. </description><address><address1>Center for Technology Commercialization </address1><address2>3333 Burnet Avenue, MLC 7032</address2><city>Cincinnati</city><state>OH</state><zip>45229-3039</zip><phone>513-636-4285</phone><fax>513-636-8453</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>http://www.na.org/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Nicole Robinson, PhD, Assistant Vice President, 513-636-0106</name><email>nicole.robinson@cchmc.org</email></member><member><name>Korie G.

On June 1, 2011, due to the recent passing of the Dodd-Frank financial legislation, the investment and finance teams at Key Principal Partners (KPP) resigned to form Cyprium Partners. The firm differentiates itself as a flexible investor that can provide any combination of subordinated debt, preferred equity and/or common equity in either non-control (minority ownership) or control (majority ownership) positions. Cyprium strives to be a value-added investor that supports the growth, acquisition, refinancing or liquidity needs of private company owners and their management teams.

Created by a partnership between the Lorain County Commissioners, Lorain County Community College, and the Ohio Department of Development, GLIDE's objective is to grow jobs and spearhead economic growth in both Lorain County and the Northern Ohio region. GLIDE has worked with more than 1,700 entrepreneurs since its inception in May 2001. Rather than reinvent services currently offered within Northern Ohio, GLIDE's role is to provide free linkage for entrepreneurs to existing service providers and to find ways to fill the gaps for services not currently offered. GLIDE has developed an extensive network of service providers in areas such as capital funding, sales and marketing, legal and financial assistance, human resource development, and IT support.  In July 2006, GLIDE was designated an Edison Technology Incubator. This award allows GLIDE to support entrepreneurs, often with limited resources, to further develop their product or service.</description><address><address1>151 Innovation Drive, Suite 210</address1><city>Elyria</city><state>OH</state><zip>44035</zip><phone>440-366-4310</phone><fax>440-366-4320</fax></address><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>Alpha Omega</name><link>http://www.aop.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clear Image Technology</name><link>http://clearimg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>First View Security</name><link>http://firstviewsecurity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VasoLux MicroSystems</name><link>http://vasolux.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zethus Software</name><link>http://www.zethussoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Banyan Technology</name><link>http://banyantechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brainwashed Software</name><link>http://brainwashedsoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Carfolks.com</name><link>http://www.carfolks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clear Image Technology</name><link>http://clearimg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Collabotive</name><link>http://collabotive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CutterCroix</name><link>http://cuttercroix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endotronix</name><link>http://www.endotronix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ideasunleashed</name><link>http://www.unleashedideas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NetSoft</name><link>http://netsofts.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Recognition Robotics</name><link>http://recognitionrobotics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Acense</name><link>http://acensellc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ADAP Nanotech</name><link>http://adapnanotech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Generated Energy Solutions</name><link>http://americanenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Amidac</name><link>http://www.amidac.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Anderson Aerospace</name><link>http://anderson-aerospace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BodyPhyx</name><link>http://bodyphyx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BoxCast</name><link>https://www.boxcast.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caralon Global</name><link>http://www.caralonglobal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cleveland Whiskey</name><link>http://clevelandwhiskey.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Diabetes Daily</name><link>http://www.diabetesdaily.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Decision Desk</name><link>http://www.decisiondesk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DynaMotors</name><link>http://www.dynamotors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endotronix</name><link>http://www.endotronix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EFuneral</name><link>http://efuneral.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ERIS Medical Technologies</name><link>http://www.erismed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HolePatch</name><link>http://www.ehow.com/video_4150_patch-hole-drywall.html</link></firm><firm><name>Fluence Therapeutics</name><link>http://fluencetherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IGW Solutions</name><link>http://igwonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inkren</name><link>http://www.linkedin.com/company/inkren-skritter.com-</link></firm><firm><name>Innovative Developments</name><link>http://inndevinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InSight Market</name><link>http://www.insightmarketresearch.co.uk/</link></firm><firm><name>Learning Egg</name><link>http://readingeggs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LifeMedix</name><link>http://lifemedix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LifeServe Innovations</name><link>http://www.lifeserveinnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MOM Tools</name><link>http://mom-tools.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedBed Connect</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mr4c2yk/medbed-connect-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Mentor Radio</name><link>http://www.mentorradio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nautica Windpower</name><link>http://www.nauticawindpower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nuvention</name><link>http://www.nuventionsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neoproteomics</name><link>http://neoproteomics.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Rhino Systems</name><link>http://www.rhinosystemsatm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sensor Development </name><link>http://www.sendev.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Segmint</name><link>http://segmint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sire Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.shire.com/shireplc/en/home</link></firm><firm><name>Thermedx</name><link>http://thermedx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vadxx Energy</name><link>http://www.vadxx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>UVisIR</name><link>http://uvisir.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VasoLux</name><link>http://vasolux.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wireless Environment</name><link>http://www.wirelessenv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>via680</name><link>http://www.via680.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Clifford L.

The Innovation Fund is supported and administered through a regional and state network of higher education, government and economic development partners to nurture a technology-based entrepreneurial environment for wealth creation and job growth in Northeast Ohio. The Innovation Fund fulfills its mission of promoting education and economic development by providing modest awards (up to $100,000) to promising technology-based start-ups located or willing to locate within the 21 counties of Northeast Ohio. Awards are made to help early-stage entrepreneurs progress through the business development continuum by providing resources to help validate the technology or prove the business model. In turn, recipients of Innovation Fund awards are required to provide an entrepreneurial educational opportunity or internship for students, faculty or staff of Lorain County Community College and/or one of the Innovation Fund's partnering higher education institutions.  </description><address><address1>Lorain County Community College</address1><address2>151 Innovation Drive (EIC Building)</address2><city>Elyria</city><state>OH</state><zip>44035</zip><phone>440-366-4121</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Anderson Aerospace</name><link>http://www.anderson-aerospace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AGES</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages</link></firm><firm><name>In2Une</name><link>http://in2unemusic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lifeserve Innovations</name><link>http://www.lifeserveinnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedBed Connect</name><link>http://medbedconnect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LeapYear Technologies</name><link>http://www.innovationfundneohio.com/Innovation+Fund+Recipients.htm</link></firm><firm><name>SIRE Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.shire.com/shireplc/en/home</link></firm><firm><name>Wellness Integrated</name><link>http://adidacst.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Insight Market Data</name><link>http://insightmarketdata.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Julie Thompson, Operations Coordinator</name><email>julie@glideit.org</email></member></management></company><company><name>Isabella Capital, LLC</name><website>www.fundisabella.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Expansion</stage></stages><description>Fund Isabella focuses on early stage, women-led companies or those operating in the women's market.

JumpStart, a non-profit organization, was formed in 2004 by a collaboration between NorTech (the Northeast Ohio Technology Coalition) and Case Western Reserve University. It was created to combine the efforts of four of the region's entrepreneurial service organizations to support the continued emergence of Northeast Ohio's innovative economy. Among several programs, JumpStart Ventures invests in and assists innovative, early-stage Northeast Ohio companies that have the potential to generate $30-$50 million in revenues in five to seven years. Early-stage investment from JumpStart starts at $250K and ranges up to a total of $600K. JumpStart is committed to investing in companies led by women and minority entrepreneurs, companies in varying stages of growth (though most are in the imagining or incubating stages and all must have less than $5 million in revenues), companies working in multiple industries, and companies located in varying counties within Northeast Ohio. Jumpstart has invested more than $21 million in its 56 portfolio companies. These companies have leveraged the investments eight times over, raising an additional $167 million in follow-on risk capital. </description><address><address1>6701 Carnegie Ave. Suite 100</address1><city>Cleveland</city><state>OH</state><zip>44103</zip><phone>216-363-3400</phone><fax>216-363-3401</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>ABS Materials</name><link>http://www.absmaterials.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caralon Global</name><link>http://development.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/caralon-global-press-release.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Echogen Power Systems</name><link>http://www.echogen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aria Analytics</name><link>http://www.ariaanalytics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mar Systems</name><link>http://marsystemsinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MesoCoat</name><link>http://mesocoat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Myers Motors</name><link>http://www.myersmotors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Phycal</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_therapy</link></firm><firm><name>Mesocoat</name><link>http://mesocoat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catacel</name><link>http://www.catacel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RSP Tooling</name><link>http://rsptooling.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stanton Advanced Ceramics</name><link>http://www.stantonac.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AnalizaDX</name><link>http://www.analiza.com/dx.html</link></firm><firm><name>CardioInsight</name><link>http://www.cardioinsight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CerviLenz</name><link>http://www.cervilenz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ChanRx</name><link>http://www.medcitynews.com/2010/08/chanrx-to-use-250k-investment-to-reformulate-a-fib-drug/</link></firm><firm><name>Checkpoint Surgical</name><link>http://checkpointsurgical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Covermymeds</name><link>http://www.covermymeds.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endotronix</name><link>http://www.endotronix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Freedom Meditech</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=32388879</link></firm><firm><name>Great Lakes Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://glpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Juventas Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.juventasinc.com/about/team.html</link></firm><firm><name>Neuros Medical</name><link>http://www.neurosmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Securus Medical</name><link>http://www.alliancemedical.org/Securus.html</link></firm><firm><name>SironRX</name><link>http://www.sironrx.com/about-sironrx/</link></firm><firm><name>SPR Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.sprtherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Synapse Biomedical</name><link>http://www.synapsebiomedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Theravasc</name><link>http://theravasc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Thermalin Diabetes</name><link>http://www.thermalin.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tursiop Technologies</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=46132784</link></firm><firm><name>VasoLux MicroSystems</name><link>http://vasolux.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Anderson Aerospace</name><link>http://www.anderson-aerospace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Imvox</name><link>http://imvox.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Banyan Technology</name><link>http://banyantechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Electron</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron</link></firm><firm><name>Embrace Pet Insurance</name><link>http://www.embracepetinsurance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iGuiders</name><link>http://www.iguiders.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InSet Systems</name><link>http://www.insetsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inspiron Logistics</name><link>http://www.inspironlogistics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OhShift</name><link>http://ohshift.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Optix Connect</name><link>http://optixconnect.com/Pages/Features/</link></firm><firm><name>PreEmptive Solutions</name><link>http://www.preemptive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Semint</name><link>http://www.semint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SpearFysh</name><link>http://www.crunchbase.com/company/spearfysh</link></firm><firm><name>MedCity Media</name><link>http://www.medcitynews.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stack</name><link>http://stacktv.stack.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Verishot</name><link>http://www.verishot.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Ray Leach, Chief Executive Officer</name><email>ray.leach@jumpstartinc.org</email></member><member><name>John Dearborn, President</name><email>john.dearborn@jumpstartinc.org</email></member><member><name>Richard E.

These investments include businesses that have been in large and/or expanding markets, possessed a sustainable competitive advantage, have maintained above industry average margins, are located in the Midwest and are led by a strong entrepreneurial management team. In the spring of 2005, NCT recognized an opportunity created by the significant venture capital funding gap in Central Ohio. In order to capitalize on the shortfall of available capital, NCT started a pre-seed venture fund that focuses on early-stage technology investments based in Ohio. NCT received a grant from the State of Ohio's Validation Seed Fund Initiative Program in June 2006, and has made four investments since the inception of the validation fund. NCT Ventures, in conjunction with the Center for Entrepreneurship at Ohio State University, created the Ideas-To-Business Model in 2001. The model was created to provide an infrastructure for bringing an idea to market effectively through a series of well defined development phases.</description><address><address1>One Marconi Place </address1><address2>274 Marconi Boulevard, Suite 400 </address2><city>Columbus</city><state>OH</state><zip>43215</zip><phone>614-794-2732</phone><fax>614-794-2737</fax></address><altaddress><name>(Mailing Address)</name><address1>P.O.

The funds were enabled by a matching investment from the State of Ohio's Third Frontier Action Fund. Members of the Queen City Angels, with support from the Tri-State Growth Capital Fund, provide management and oversight of the Fund, as well as mentoring and guidance to the portfolio companies. QCA First Fund II, established in 2006, has completed its activities. QCA First Fund III, created in 2009, is somewhat larger and has received matching investment from the Ohio Capital Fund in addition to the others mentioned above. The typical initial investments are in the $50,000-$150,000 range. Companies chosen for investment must meet the following criteria: must have its primary place of business in Ohio, or intend to move to Ohio upon funding; and technology must be a primary driving force for the company's business. </description><address><address1>6393 Grand Vista Avenue</address1><city>Cincinnati</city><state>OH</state><zip>45213</zip><phone>513-731-6500</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Collaborent</name><link>http://collaborent.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Transactiv</name><link>http://www.transactiv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neuros</name><link>http://neurostechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bioformix</name><link>http://www.linkedin.com/company/bioformix-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Blue Ash Therapeutics</name><link>http://blueashtx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IschemiaCARE</name><link>http://www.ischemiacare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Deals5250.com</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=117342776</link></firm><firm><name>Endosphere</name><link>http://endo-sphere.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CH Mack</name><link>http://chmack.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fortis</name><link>http://www.fortis.edu/</link></firm><firm><name>Spine Form</name><link>http://spineform.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ShareThis</name><link>http://sharethis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AssureRx</name><link>http://www.assurerxhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xanthostat Disagnostics</name><link>http://www.xanthostat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OnTrack Software</name><link>http://www.krollontrack.com/data-recovery/</link></firm><firm><name>Define My Style</name><link>http://www.definemystyle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SoMoLend</name><link>http://www.somolend.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CoupSmart</name><link>http://www.coupsmart.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jim Cunningham, Executive Director</name></member></management></company><company><name>Redwood Holdings, LLC.</name><website>www.redwoodventure.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Redwood Holdings, LLC. is a diversified private equity company that invests in varied businesses.

However, OTA has little interest in the following: consumer retail products, businesses in the restaurant, travel or lodging industry, products or services focused on fashions, fads, toys, or seasonal concepts, and commercial real-estate, oil or gas projects.</description><address><address1>1275 Kinnear Road</address1><city>Columbus</city><state>OH</state><zip>43212</zip><phone>614-487-3700</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>3X Systems</name><link>http://www.3x.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AircraftLogs.com</name><link>http://aircraftlogs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caster Ventures</name><link>http://www.casterventures.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Exacter</name><link>http://exacterinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InsightETE</name><link>http://insightete.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NanoStatics</name><link>http://nanostatics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AquaBlok</name><link>http://www.aquablokinfo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AssureRx</name><link>http://assurerxhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brand Thunder</name><link>http://brandthunder.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cambiatta</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=29017105</link></firm><firm><name>Cardiox</name><link>http://www.cardiodx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caster Ventures</name><link>http://www.casterventures.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearSaleing</name><link>http://www.clearsaleing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CleveX</name><link>http://clevex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Drop Spot</name><link>http://dropspots.org/</link></firm><firm><name>EndoSphere</name><link>http://endo-sphere.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Exacter</name><link>http://exacterinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FlyMuch</name><link>http://flymuch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Great Lakes Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://glpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HTP</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxytryptophan</link></firm><firm><name>I2C</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C</link></firm><firm><name>Interventional Imaging</name><link>http://i3mri.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Midwest MicroDevices</name><link>http://www.midwestmicrodevices.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Minimally Invasive Devices</name><link>http://midsurgical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NanoStatics</name><link>http://nanostatics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neuros</name><link>http://neurostechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PreEmptive Solutions</name><link>http://www.preemptive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SageQuest</name><link>http://www.sage-quest.com/home/default.asp</link></firm><firm><name>SealPak Innovations</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=11460604</link></firm><firm><name>TheraVasc</name><link>http://theravasc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Traycer Diagnostic Systems</name><link>http://www.traycer.net/</link></firm><firm><name>VacactionView</name><link>http://vacationviewrentals.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zebra Mobile</name><link>http://zebramobile.com/</link></firm><firm><name>7 Signal</name><link>http://www.7signal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BringShare</name><link>http://www.bringshare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>nChannel</name><link>http://news.yahoo.com/nchannel-announces-cloud-based-management-platform-fill-void-120045473.html</link></firm><firm><name>SironRx Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.jumpstartinc.org/companies/portfolio/healthcare/sironrxtherapeutics.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>SparkBase</name><link>http://sparkbase.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Znode</name><link>http://www.znode.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Victor M.

Chrysalis invests primarily in early-stage and expansion-stage companies in healthcare services and technology. With headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky and offices in Cleveland, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Ann Arbor, Mich., Chrysalis has $400 million under management and has made investments in over 65 companies. Chrysalis rarely invests at the seed-stage and prefers to invest in companies that are already generating revenue in the $1 to $5 million range. The firm typically invests at least $2 million in the first institutional private equity financing in the form of a preferred security. Chrysalis will invest in later rounds of promising companies, up to a total of approximately $15 million in a single portfolio company. Chrysalis currently has investments in 16 states across the United States, but prefers to invest in the "under-ventured" Midwest and South regions of the country. </description><address><address1>6701 Carnegie Avenue</address1><city>Cleveland</city><state>OH</state><zip>44103</zip><phone>216-453-1299 </phone><fax>216-274-0244</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AfterBOT</name><link>http://afterbot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Asterand</name><link>http://www.asterand.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CerviLenz</name><link>http://www.cervilenz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chronicity</name><link>http://chronicityinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Construction Software Technologies</name><link>http://isqft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Continuum 700</name><link>http://continuumwireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Connecture</name><link>http://connecture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cybera</name><link>http://www.cybera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IBBS</name><link>http://www.ibbs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digitalsmiths</name><link>http://www.digitalsmiths.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Foundation Radiology Group</name><link>http://www.foundationradiologygroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Golden State Overnight Delivery</name><link>http://www.gso.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HCCA Holdings</name><link>http://www.hccaintl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthTeacher</name><link>http://www.healthteacher.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intervention Inights</name><link>http://interventioninsights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedLab</name><link>http://www.themedlab.com/</link></firm><firm><name>meQuilibrium</name><link>http://mequilibrium.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyHealthDIRECT</name><link>http://myhealthdirect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NextImage Medical</name><link>http://nextimagemedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Open Kernel Labs</name><link>http://www.ok-labs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Regent Education</name><link>http://www.regenteducation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sanovia</name><link>http://sanovia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mobile Armor</name><link>http://www.mobilearmor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StraighterLine</name><link>http://www.straighterline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TechSkills</name><link>http://www.techskills.edu/</link></firm><firm><name>Ygnition</name><link>http://www.ygnition.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioSeek</name><link>http://bioseekinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthTeacher</name><link>http://www.healthteacher.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lab Partners</name><link>http://www.labpartners.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Xlerant</name><link>http://www.xlerant.com/website/publish/home/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>David A.

Each member committed either $100,000 or $200,000. Unlike a traditional venture fund, FireStarter Fund is a self-managed fund, so there are no carried interests or fees paid to anyone. The fund can invest in companies anywhere in the United States. Given that all of the fund's members are based in Chicago, it is likely that most of the investments the fund makes will be in the greater Chicago area, Illinois and the upper Midwest. The fund can make investments as small as $25,000 to as large as $500,000 in any one company. FireStarter expects its typical cumulative investment in a portfolio company to be between $150,000 and $350,000 over the life of the fund. In addition to the fund's investment, each member is free to invest individually in any portfolio company. FireStarter Fund will invest in digital media &amp; marketing, software as a service, &amp; e-commerce (with a focus on web social, mobile and big data). The fund is free to invest in any stage of development. When the fund makes its initial investment, FireStarter expects most portfolio companies to be at or near revenue generation, with the business strategy in place and technology very well along in its development. FireStarter Fund expects most of its investments to be in the series A and B rounds.</description><address><city>Chicago</city><state>IL</state></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>GiveForward</name><link>http://www.giveforward.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kapow Events</name><link>http://www.kapowevents.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Retrofit</name><link>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retrofit</link></firm><firm><name>Tap Me</name><link>http://tap.me/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Brian Hand</name></member><member><name>Troy Henikoff</name></member><member><name>Matt Moog</name></member><member><name>Sam Yagan</name></member></management></company><company><name>Tonka Bay Equity Partners, LLC</name><website>www.tonkabayequity.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1998, Tonka Bay Equity Partners is a private equity firm based in Minnetonka, Minnesota with $350 million of capital under management.

VMF operates a fund-of-funds that invests in private equity managers who invest primarily in Michigan-based early stage venture capital companies. A $95 million venture capital fund investment program was formed under the Michigan Early Stage Venture Investment Act of 2003. As per the Act of 2003, the capital for the program is not provided by the State but raised from outside investors. To encourage investment in VMF, the Michigan Department of Treasury agreed to provide investors with up to $450 million of tax voucher certificates that could be used as a form of "currency" to offset any shortfall in debt servicing by fulfilling an equivalent amount of Single Business Tax and/or withholding tax obligations of the investors. CFIG was chosen as manager for the program through an RFP process and was engaged in January 2006. Michigan possesses identifiable expertise in several areas, including the following clusters of innovation: Life Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Homeland Security. The Venture Michigan Fund II, Limited Partnership (VMF II) is a $120 million fund launched in 2011. VMF II will begin to accept information from interested fund managers in February of 2011. </description><address><address1>c/o Credit Suisse, Alternative Investments, Customized Fund Investment Group, Columbia Center</address1><address2>201 West Big Beaver Road, Suite 950</address2><city>Troy</city><state>MI</state><zip>48084</zip><phone>248-619-1862</phone><fax>248-743-4191</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Aboretum Ventures</name><link>http://www.arboretumvc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nth Power</name><link>http://nthpower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Venture Investors</name><link>http://www.ventureinvestors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RPM Ventures</name><link>http://www.rpmvc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TGap Ventures</name><link>http://www.tgapventures.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chrysalis Ventures</name><link>http://www.chrysalisventures.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Early Stage Partners</name><link>http://www.esplp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fletcher Spaght Ventures</name><link>http://www.fletcherspaght.com/ventures/content.asp?pid=01_overview</link></firm><firm><name>North Coast Technology Investors</name><link>http://www.northcoastvc.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Mike Kell, Vice President, Michigan Office</name><email>michael.kell@credit-suisse.com</email></member><member><name>Sean O'Donnell, Vice President</name><email>sean.o'donnell@credit-suisse.com</email></member><member><name>Kelly Williams, Managing Director, Group Co-Head, 212-538-7658</name><email>kelly.m.williams@credit-suisse.com</email></member><member><name>Melford Carter, Principal</name><email>melford.carter@credit-suisse.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>CapitalWorks, LLC</name><website>www.capitalworks.net</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1999, CapitalWorks is a leading investor in middle-market companies ranging from $3 million to $10 million EBITDA.

The firm has managed over $500 million in a series of partnerships that were primarily funded by large institutional investors. Geocapital is now focused on very early stage opportunities; finding entrepreneurs who have bootstrapped themselves into the post-startup stage of early revenue generation, for whom experienced equity partners, along with half a million to a few million dollars of equity capital, would be attractive. Geocapital makes such investments on a very selective basis using primarily the partners' own funds. The firm typically maintains a minority equity position in its portfolio companies, providing initial financing ranging from $2 million to $20 million. </description><address><address1>1 Executive Drive, Suite 160</address1><city>Fort Lee</city><state>NJ</state><zip>07024</zip><phone>201-461-9292</phone><fax>201-461-7793</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Autoweb.com</name><link>http://www.autoweb.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Expert Software</name><link>http://expss.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Logic Works</name><link>http://www.logicworks.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Axiom Systems</name><link>http://www.axiom-systems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Axon Networks</name><link>http://axonnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Establish</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/establish</link></firm><firm><name>Geneva Technology</name><link>http://genevasoftech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Trinagy</name><link>http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2001/010809a.html</link></firm><firm><name>Utility Partners</name><link>http://www.utilitypartners.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Motivano</name><link>https://smartsavings.motivano.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Stephen J.

The firm's latest fund, NV Partners IV, LP closed in September 2006 at $300 million. The group has additional offices in California, The Netherlands, and the U.K. The New Venture Partners team has founded and funded more than 50 technology ventures from the R&amp;D labs and business units of global technology corporations including Lucent/Bell Labs, British Telecom, Philips, Agere, Boeing, Intel, Telstra, Avago, and others.

The program is committed to the long-term economic vitality and growth of entrepreneurial ventures in the State of New Jersey. The incubator exists to increase the rate of small business formations and to decrease the failure rate of start-ups.

Founded in 2000, the firm manages over $1 billion of institutional capital. Industry Ventures invests with two strategies: i) secondary funds that offer liquidity alternatives for direct investments and limited partnership interests and ii) funds of funds, known as Partnership Holdings, that invest in smaller funds with outsized return potential. Industry Ventures invests in smaller venture capital funds less than $250 million in size. Portfolio diversification typically includes 15-20 partnerships balanced across: i) sector -- information technology, healthcare, and communications; ii) stage -- early and growth; and iii) vintage year -- three year investment period.

The firm was founded by Lev Volftsun after he sold Lightspeed International to Cisco Systems.Two and a half years later, Volftsun left Cisco to pursue investment opportunities of his own and late in 2001 teamed with three west coast venture firms to seek out east coast opportunities. During this time Volftsun was asked to run a portfolio company, Dynamicsoft which he did for almost a year as CEO and COO.  Dynamicsoft was also later acquired by Cisco Systems. Washington Capital Ventures continues to selectively fund interesting opportunities, primarily in technology fields.  </description><address><address1>P.O.

Outcome Capital was formed when WWC Securities expanded its traditional technology and services practice with a new team focused on the life sciences and healthcare industry. The new life sciences and healthcare practice group is located in the firm's new Boston office. The principals of Outcome Capital seek to make investments in growth businesses in the information technology, business services, and financial services markets. Outcome Capital does not directly invest in private companies; however, several of its principals are active investors. Several of the owners of Outcome Capital formed and operate three funds: WWC Capital Fund, LP; WWC Capital Fund II, LP; and WWC Capital Fund II-A, LP. Although the capital from these three funds have been fully allocated, the owners of Outcome Capital continue to make investments in private companies with their own capital individually, and are sometimes part of a syndicate with other accredited and institutional investors.</description><address><address1>11911 Freedom Drive, Suite 1010</address1><city>Reston</city><state>VA</state><zip>20190</zip><phone>703-736-9446 </phone><fax>703-225-1515</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AWS Convergence Technologies</name><link>http://www.aws.com/advertising/default.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Sentori</name><link>http://www.sentori.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lighthammer</name><link>http://www.lighthammer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AllTrust Networks</name><link>http://alltrustnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BrightDoor Systems</name><link>http://brightdoor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DoublePositive</name><link>http://www.doublepositive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Earth Networks</name><link>http://www.earthnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Genesis Financial Solutions</name><link>http://www.gfscustomers.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Preferred Systems Solutions</name><link>http://www.pssfed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RFID Global Solution</name><link>http://rfidglobalsolution.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Saylent Technologies</name><link>http://www.saylent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Social Solutions</name><link>http://www.socialsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catalyst IT Services</name><link>http://www.catalystitservices.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jonathan R.

Among other programs, TEDCO operates the Maryland Technology Transfer and Commercialization Fund (MTTCF), which encourages the transfer of technology between Maryland companies and eligible federal labs or universities. MTTCF provides up to $75,000 as a reimbursable award for initiation of technology transfer projects that involve collaboration between a Maryland company and any federal laboratory or academic research institution in Maryland. Funds are to be used to defray direct costs of further developing early-stage technology. Another program, the University Technology Development Fund, provides grants of $50,000 to Universities, which are obliged to share revenues with TEDCO on intellectual property created or developed with a UTDF grant. A University must pay TEDCO 25% of all revenue received for rights to intellectual property developed with UTDF capital until it has repaid two times the UTDF funding provided. Another initiative, the  Incubator Development Fund program, provides funding for capital expenditures in the development of new and the renovation of existing technology incubators in the state. </description><address><address1>5565 Sterrett Place, Suite 214</address1><city>Columbia</city><state>MD</state><zip>21044</zip><phone>410-740-9442</phone><fax>410-740-9422</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BuddyCast</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuddyCast</link></firm><firm><name>Integrated BioTherapeutics</name><link>http://www.integratedbiotherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ionova</name><link>http://ionova.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Next Development</name><link>http://nextdevelopment.org/index.html</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>John M.

Slate invests at all stages of a company's life cycle, from growth equity investing to leveraged buyouts, and is focused on companies headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region (but will consider companies with headquarters located East of the Mississippi River). The principals of Slate have significant experience in both running small-to-mid-sized companies and investing in venture capital and leveraged buyout transactions. Slate's approach is to acquire/invest in one or two new companies per year and focus on their success, rather than striving for a larger volume of deals and a "portfolio" return. Slate targets manufacturing, distribution and service businesses; all industries will be considered except banking, real estate, and natural resources. Preferred industries include business services, direct marketing, healthcare services, for-profit education, niche software and consumer and retail investments. Slate will focus on companies with cash flow of $1 million to $10 million.</description><address><address1>The Latrobe Building</address1><address2>2 East Read Street, Third Floor</address2><city>Baltimore</city><state>MD</state><zip>21202</zip><phone> 410-560-3572</phone><fax> 630-214-8572</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Bariatric Partners</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mms38xw/bariatric-partners-inc</link></firm><firm><name>BioPay Paycheck Secure</name><link>http://alltrustnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DoublePositive</name><link>http://www.doublepositive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Let's Dish!</name><link>http://www.letsdish.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AllTrust Networks</name><link>http://alltrustnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Public Education</name><link>http://www.americanpubliceducation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coastal Business Machines</name><link>http://www.cbmi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eCoast Sales Solutions</name><link>http://www.ecoastsales.com/</link></firm><firm><name>First Equity Card</name><link>http://first-equity-business-card.pissedconsumer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pickaway Plains Ambulance Service</name><link>http://ppa-ems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Questar Assessment</name><link>http://www.questarai.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Social Solutions</name><link>http://www.socialsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wythe Will Tzetzo</name><link>http://wythewill.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Rick Corcoran, Founder and Partner</name><email>rcorcoran@slateventuregroup.com</email></member><member><name>Erik Ginsberg, Founder and Partner</name><email>eginsberg@slateventuregroup.com</email></member><member><name>Parker Davis, Partner</name></member></management></company><company><name>Spring Capital</name><website>www.springcap.com</website><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Spring Capital was established in 1999 and has over $185 million invested or under management.

Approximately 60 percent of the Fund is invested in technology companies in the areas of software, communications, and IT security, and 40 percent of the Fund is invested in life sciences companies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The Challenge Investment Program provides financing for seed-stage companies to cover a portion of the initial costs associated with bringing new products to market. Initial investments of $50,000 to $100,000 are made up, with incremental investments to a maximum of $150,000. The Enterprise Investment Fund Program makes direct equity investments in emerging technology companies, usually at the first round of institutional financing and works with emerging companies to move them into their next stage of development as a viable business. The amount of investment ranges from $150,000 to $500,000. Enterprise investments are generally in the form of equity, but follow the terms of the lead investor.</description><address><address1>World Trade Center</address1><address2>401 East Pratt Street</address2><city>Baltimore</city><state>MD</state><zip>21202</zip><phone>410-767-6300 </phone><fax>401-333-1836</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Qovia</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=7422128</link></firm><firm><name>Cylex</name><link>http://cylex.net/</link></firm><firm><name>NexTone</name><link>http://nextonemedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AVIcode</name><link>http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/system-center/avicode.aspx</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Christian S.

Vital Financial became one of the largest shareholders of Certicom and interacted with both Certicom management and other large shareholders. Vital Financial completed a successful exit of its Certicom investment in early 2009 through its sale to Research in Motion. In early 2009 the firm adopted the name "Vital Financial" and formally began to seek additional venture capital investments. The firm now consists of five principal investors, with offices in: Simsbury, CT; Bethesda, MD; Newark, DE; Philadelphia, PA; Naples, FL; and Lincolnshire, IL. The Principals' own funds constitute the majority of each Vital Financial investment. The firm also has a number of individual and institutional co-investors that join Vital Financial in its investments. Vital Financial's preferred industries include software, selected technology segments, financial services, and businesses with patents that Vital can value. The firm's target investment size is $1-3 million for early-stage companies and $2-5 million for later-stage firms.</description><address><address1>7101 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1210</address1><city>Bethesda</city><state>MD</state><zip>20814</zip><phone>415-297-6451</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Certicom</name><link>http://www.certicom.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CR Certification Corp./CardioReady</name><link>http://www.cardioready.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clinverse</name><link>http://clinverse.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pervacio</name><link>http://pervacio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shoefitr</name><link>http://shoefitr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SchoolChapters</name><link>http://www.schoolchapters.com/press</link></firm><firm><name>QuantaLife</name><link>http://quantalife.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CD Diagnostics</name><link>http://cddiagnostics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NovaTract Surgical</name><link>http://novatract.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mobeam</name><link>http://www.mobeam.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Halfpenny Technologies</name><link>http://www.halfpenny.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lookingglass Cyber Solutions</name><link>http://lgscout.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sparqd</name><link>http://www.sparqd.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>A.

On occasion, the firm will provide seed or very early stage financing in exceptional situations. Grosvenor seeks opportunities in industries which exhibit unusual growth opportunities (e.g. wireless, healthcare services and information technology services). In addition, Grosvenor will invest in promising companies in emerging new industries such as next-generation wireless, security technologies, and labor force management in the defense/homeland security arena. Grosvenor also strives to invest in small businesses that stimulate the economic development and create new jobs in local communities. Grosvenor's main office is located in the heart of downtown Washington, DC, which is designated a federal Enterprise City. Many Grosvenor portfolio companies are located in areas targeted for redevelopment by federal and state government and the firm's investment activities provide area revitalization and stabilization. Additionally, many Grosvenor portfolio companies provide permanent jobs primarily for individuals and families below 80 percent of the area(s) median income.</description><address><address1>888 17th St., NW, Suite 214</address1><city>Washington</city><state>DC</state><zip>20006</zip><phone>202-861-5650</phone><fax>202-861-5653</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Appfluent</name><link>http://www.appfluent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DoublePositive</name><link>http://www.doublepositive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioMarin Pharmaceutical</name><link>http://www.bmrn.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CiDRA</name><link>http://www.cidra.com/</link></firm><firm><name>H Three</name><link>http://three-h.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BDMetrics</name><link>http://bdmetrics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catalyst IT Services</name><link>http://www.catalystitservices.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GetWellNetwork</name><link>http://getwellnetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inside Higher Ed</name><link>http://www.insidehighered.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iMove</name><link>http://www.imoveinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Three Stage Media</name><link>http://www.threestage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SnappCloud</name><link>http://snappcloud.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Bruce B.

Students examine current investment opportunities and decide whether to invest from the fund in a particular transaction. Since July 2002, the Fund has made seven investments, exited two, and written off two.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and regional foundations support Idea Foundry's initiatives by funding fellowships that are awarded to selected individuals and their ideas. The cornerstone of Idea Foundry is its Transformation Fellowship Program, which provides funding and support services to bridge very early-stage, commercially viable ideas to the point where they can be seed funded by outside investors or be self-sustaining. An individual Transformation Fellowship of up to $100,000 will be spent on resources used in developing the business idea from a commercial perspective i.e. stipends, computer equipment, legal fees, etc. as required for development. Each idea submitted will be researched and, if selected, funded appropriately based on the specific needs to commercialize that idea. Since its inception, Idea Foundry has helped launch over 85 technology companies in a wide variety of industries, including Life Sciences / Healthcare IT, Energy Efficiencies / Green Tech, Advanced Materials, Entertainment Technology, Education, and Information Technology. Idea Foundry companies have gone on to create over 550 jobs, launch more than 70 products, raise over $166 million in follow-on funding, and earn over $185 million in revenues.</description><address><address1>4551 Forbes Ave., Suite 200</address1><city>Pittsburgh</city><state>PA</state><zip>15213</zip><phone>412-682-3067</phone><fax>412-682-3068</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>ADMA Technologies</name><link>http://adam-tech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BitArmor</name><link>https://www.trustwave.com/encryption/</link></firm><firm><name>Content Vision</name><link>http://www.contentvision.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Electric Owl Studios</name><link>http://www.electricowlstudios.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fossil Free Fuel</name><link>http://fossilfreefuel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Interbots</name><link>http://www.interbots.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kiddix</name><link>http://www.kiddix-computing.com/home/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>threeRivers 3D</name><link>http://3rivers3d.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AardvarQ</name><link>http://aardvarq.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Akoona</name><link>http://www.akoona.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Apangea Learning</name><link>http://www.apangea.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Appiled Computational Technologies</name><link>http://www.appcomptech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Assistware</name><link>http://www.assistware.com/Content/product_all.html</link></firm><firm><name>Astrobotic Technology</name><link>http://astrobotictechnology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Biosafe</name><link>http://www.biosafe.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BlackLocus</name><link>http://blacklocus.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Buzby Networks</name><link>http://www.buzbynetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cartesia Dx</name><link>http://www.cartesiadx.com/About.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Cellular Tracking Technologies</name><link>http://celltracktech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Circadiance</name><link>http://www.circadiance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearCount Medical Solutions</name><link>http://clearcount.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearData</name><link>http://cleardata.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Clearspring Technologies</name><link>http://www.clearspring.com/</link></firm><firm><name>First Insight </name><link>http://www.firstinsight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GevenaMars</name><link>http://genevamars.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Go-Op</name><link>http://goop.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Guerilla Mobile</name><link>http://www.guerillamob.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Helium Networks</name><link>http://www.heliumnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ImpactGames</name><link>http://impactgames.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Industrial Learning Systems</name><link>http://www.ilsystems.net/</link></firm><firm><name>iTwixie</name><link>http://www.itwixie.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jogger </name><link>http://www.thejogger.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MoGoes</name><link>http://www.savorthesuccess.com/member/melissa-lucciola</link></firm><firm><name>My RightNote</name><link>http://myrightnote.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyGov365</name><link>http://blog.mygov365.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Qrono</name><link>http://qrono.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SimonShows</name><link>http://www.simonshows.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WhereverTV</name><link>http://www.wherever.tv/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Michael M.

The fund is designed to take advantage of the attractive returns possible in promising scientific advances in the fields of healthcare therapies and preventive treatments. A uniquely favorable feature of the fund is that Numoda Corporation manages the later phase clinical trials of companies in which the fund invests, giving investors comfort that the trials are being efficiently run and have high likelihood of success. Numoda will target investments in undercapitalized companies with histories of budget overruns and missed clinical targets; companies with upcoming PII-PIII trials that had prior identifiable conduct issues (e.g., poor patient selection, faulty logistics, data inconsistency and improper study design); companies with milestone agreements in place subject to substantial risk of trial execution; and breakthrough novel technologies that would achieve a significant value inflection with early clinical success.</description><address><address1>The Curtis Center</address1><address2>601 Walnut Street, 900 East</address2><city>Philadelphia</city><state>PA</state><zip>19106</zip><phone>215-238-8881</phone><fax>215-238-9995</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Cell&gt;Point</name><link>http://www.cellpoint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MediQuest Therapeutics</name><link>http://mqti.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Reata Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.reatapharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Soligenix</name><link>http://www.soligenix.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Ivan Joseph, Director</name></member><member><name>Patrick J.

Evans is the Founder and Managing Partner of Sandwith Ventures (SV), a San Francisco and Philadelphia based investment firm focusing on angel and early stage investments. Founded in January, 2007, Sandwith Ventures focuses its investments in three main sectors:  1) retail and consumer oriented e-commerce  2) internet marketplaces and  3) online marketing and advertising services. Investments are concentrated in the Bay Area and Philadelphia, but SV will also look at deals on the East Coast as far south as Washington, D.C. and as far north as New York City. Previous to launching Sandwith Ventures, Colin was a Co-Founder, member of the Executive Team and Vice President of Sales and Business Development at StubHub.com, a successful online ticket exchange founded in 2000 and sold to eBay in early 2007. Sandwith Ventures most significant involvement is with entrepreneurs and early stage companies from company formation to the first raise of institutional capital. SV works with companies on all aspects of monetization, customer acquisition, distribution, organizational strategy and operations. Once a company has reached a point of 20+ employees and greater than $5MM in aggregate venture capital raised, the role of Sandwith Ventures greatly diminishes. Sandwith maintains offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.</description><address><address1>2101 Market Street, #2106</address1><city>Philadelphia</city><state>PA</state><zip>19103</zip><phone>415-218-7940</phone><fax>415-276-2340</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>ModCloth.com</name><link>http://www.modcloth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shop It To Me</name><link>http://shopittome.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Socializr</name><link>http://www.socializr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bonobos</name><link>http://www.bonobos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BountyJobs</name><link>http://www.bountyjobs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zwaggle</name><link>http://www.zwaggle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spreecast</name><link>http://www.spreecast.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Placely</name><link>http://mashable.com/2008/05/20/placely-official-launc/</link></firm><firm><name>TicketLeap</name><link>http://www.ticketleap.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SkyGrid</name><link>http://www.skygrid.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ryzing</name><link>http://ryzing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lionside</name><link>http://lionside.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RentJuice</name><link>http://www.rentjuice.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BountyJobs</name><link>http://www.bountyjobs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CommunityLend </name><link>http://www.communitylend.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Foodzie</name><link>http://foodzie.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Homeboodle</name><link>http://livelovely.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eRealInvestor</name><link>http://erealinvestor.com/eriweb/index.cfm</link></firm><firm><name>Rich Relevance</name><link>http://www.richrelevance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Invite Media</name><link>http://www.invitemedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Marin Software</name><link>http://www.marinsoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bright Edge Technology</name><link>http://www.brightedge.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Waterfall Mobile</name><link>http://www.waterfallmobile.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kadoink</name><link>http://techcrunch.com/2009/04/19/kadoink-seized-by-creditors/</link></firm><firm><name>TellAPal</name><link>http://my.tellapal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sociable Labs</name><link>http://www.sociablelabs.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Colin M.

The Fairbridge difference is found in the fund structure and in the investment criteria. As principals of significant family offices, the partners have created Fairbridge as a way for other families to invest alongside Fairbridge without the lack of alignment between fund management and investors found in the traditional fund model. Fairbridge targets companies located throughout the United States, which have strong management teams, a differentiated product to offer, and a path to significant scale. &#xD;
Fairbridge invests in seed and early-stage companies which are using technology broadly-defined to bring solutions for real-world problems. Fairbridge targets companies which: Have successfully raised some outside capital, typically from angel investors; Have had their first revenue (generally more than $100,000 in revenue); Have a strong IP position; Have a technology-enabled solution for an existing problem where the customers are already spending money in a way that's sub-optimal; Are business-to-business; and Have recurring revenue models.</description><address><address1>1105 N.

Since its inception, the firm has maintained a focus on investing in small to mid-size companies. The Partnership's investment activities and operations are led by four partners out of the Los Angeles office. In late 2006, HPA established a Houston, Texas office with two new investment professionals to expand the capacity and geographic footprint of the firm. HPA is currently investing out of Hancock Park Capital III, LP, a $256 million institutional fund, which was established in 2005 with the objective of providing attractive returns through focused investments in smaller companies. This fund followed Hancock Park Capital II, LP, the firm's first institutional fund of $156 million, raised during 2002. HPA seeks to acquire controlling interests in small to medium-sized companies with average revenues at the time of acquisition of between $25 and $200 million, and EBITDA ranging between $2 and $20 million. HPA focuses on controlling equity investments across a range of industries, although the firm naturally gravitates towards manufacturing and specialty retailing.</description><address><address1>1880 Century Park East, Suite 900</address1><city>Los Angeles</city><state>CA</state><zip>90067</zip><phone>310-228-6900 </phone><fax>310-228-6939</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Drilltec</name><link>http://www.drilltec.com/thread_protectors.html</link></firm><firm><name>Resco Products</name><link>http://www.rescoproducts.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Furniture Company</name><link>http://www.americanfurniture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Barcalounger</name><link>http://www.barcalounger.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yankee Pacific Aerospace</name><link>http://www.yankeepacificaerospace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American of Martinsville</name><link>http://www.americanofmartinsville.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brown &amp; Cole Stores</name><link>http://www.themarketsllc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Charming Charlie</name><link>http://www.charmingcharlie.com/home</link></firm><firm><name>Project Time &amp; Cost</name><link>http://ptcinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Specialty Vehicle Acquisition</name><link>http://www.answers.com/topic/asc-incorporated</link></firm><firm><name>American Home</name><link>http://americanhome.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crimson Well Services</name><link>http://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/Houston/crimson-well-services-inc/38950433.aspx</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Michael J.

The incubator plans to "amplify" startups by providing seed funding, access to additional capital, and an unmatched team of mentors and advisors who have a unique connection to media and entertainment. Every company accepted will receive up to $50K in seed funding and free workspace in a community entrepreneur facility in Venice. Amplify is currently renovating the historic building at 1600 Main Street in Venice designed by famous architect Steven Ehrlich. The 10,000 square foot property, where part of the Venice roller coaster once stood, will soon be a central hub for LA's tech scene. When finished, the facility will be home to dozens of startups and a nucleus of tech entrepreneurship. Amplify reportedly raised $4.5 million in 2011 to launch its campus.</description><address><address1>1600 Main Street</address1><city>Venice</city><state>CA</state><zip>90291</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Look IO</name><link>http://www.look.io/</link></firm><firm><name>GetBonkers</name><link>http://www.getbonkers.com/lil_drummer.html</link></firm><firm><name>The Kive Company</name><link>http://www.thehivecompany.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ship Mate</name><link>http://shipmateapp.com</link></firm><firm><name>Loyaldash</name><link>https://www.loyaldash.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StackSocial</name><link>https://stacksocial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Club W</name><link>http://clubw.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Estify</name><link>http://estify.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Makeupbee</name><link>http://www.facebook.com/Makeupbee?sk=wall&amp;filter=12</link></firm><firm><name>Squabbler</name><link>http://www.squabbler.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tidepool</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_pool</link></firm><firm><name>Battlefly</name><link>http://battlefly.deviantart.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Paul Bricault, Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Richard Wolpert, Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Jeff Solomon, Executive Director</name></member><member><name>Oded Noy, Chief Technologist</name></member><member><name>David Carter, Strategic Advisor</name></member></management></company><company><name>Angeleno Group, LLC</name><website>www.angelenogroup.com</website><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded 2001, Angeleno Group (AG) is a Los Angeles-based private equity firm focused on high-growth investments in the energy sector.

The firm provides strategic planning, business management and cash equity to start-up and very early stage companies. The firm considers itself a cross between a venture capital (VC) firm and a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Like a VC, EcoElectron provides cash for equity, although at much earlier stages, and will work with companies to secure follow-on funding as necessary. Like a CEO, EcoElectron works with entrepreneurs to do what's necessary to get the business going and take it to the "next stage," freeing the innovators to focus on their core competencies, which is usually technology development. EcoElectron is interested in innovative technologies in renewable and clean energy generation, energy conservation, energy efficiency improvements, energy storage and power quality, power transmission innovations, energy control, and communication software. Companies must be in the San Diego region and technologies must be within three years of commercialization. Typical initial cash investment ranges from $150,000 to $500,000 of committed capital.</description><address><address1>1106 Second Street, PMB 212</address1><city>Encinitas</city><state>CA</state><zip>92024</zip><phone>760-635-1681 </phone><fax>760-635-1682 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Advent Solar</name><link>http://lobo.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Evergreen Solar</name><link>http://www.evergreensolar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Metallic Power</name><link>http://www.metallicpower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stirling Energy Systems</name><link>http://www.stirlingenergy.com/index.htm</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Josh Lampl</name><email>josh@ecoelectron.com</email></member><member><name>Michael Elconin</name><email>elconin@cox.net</email></member></management></company><company><name>eCompanies Venture Group</name><website>www.ecompanies.com</website><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code><code>I</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>An Internet business incubator, eCompanies has, according to published reports, suspended its incubation services and is no longer seeking investment opportunities.

Historically, Enterprise has invested at the seed or early stage in a company's development. Recently, however, the firm has invested in companies at other stages of maturity including the acquisition and redirection of late stage companies. Enterprise most often serves as the lead investor in a deal. Enterprise will occasionally invest as little as $300K in a seed stage venture, but the firm's initial investment more often ranges from $3M to $10M, with additional funds reserved for follow-on financings.

Since then, QCV has funded numerous companies in the wireless sector, and set up several exclusive regional funds to spur development in key strategic markets, including a $60-million fund in Korea, a $30-million fund in Japan, a $100-million fund in China and a &#x20AC;100-million fund in Europe. QCV makes strategic investments in wireless-industry ventures that provide both a strong potential return on investment (ROI) and complement existing Qualcomm products and services. QCV also seeks to identify and fund new telecommunications growth markets before widespread market recognition, and to find emerging technologies and business models that further accelerate the wireless market.

RCP generally works with buyout fund managers with funds of between $100 million and $1 billion in committed capital. These fund managers then seek to invest in lower middle sized companies - typically, with $25 million to $250 million in enterprise value. RCP seeks to commit capital to approximately 10 to 15 high quality underlying funds. These funds in turn invest in the acquisition of existing businesses located principally in North America. RCP aims to diversify underlying investments across industry focus, fund size, geography, strategy, and manager experience. RCP's primary funds-of-funds account for the majority of its over $2.5 billion in capital under discretionary management. RCP Advisors is also an active secondary purchaser of limited partner interests in private equity funds. Additionally, as a leading fund investor in the lower middle market buyout arena, RCP Advisors frequently has the opportunity to make direct co-investments in transactions sponsored by top tier equity sponsors.</description><address><address1>949 South Coast Drive, Suite 550</address1><city>Costa Mesa</city><state>CA</state><zip>92626</zip><phone>949-335-5000</phone><fax>949-266-9156</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>http://www.na.org/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Tim Danis, Senior Managing Principal, 312-229-4120</name><email>timdanis@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Danis, Jr., Managing Principal, 312-229-4122</name><email>tomdanis@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>Jeff Gehl, Managing Principal and Co-Founder, 949-219-1210</name><email>jgehl@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>Charlie Huebner, Managing Principal and Co-Founder, 312-229-4123</name><email>chuebner@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>Fritz Souder, Senior Managing Principal and Co-Founder, 312-229-4121</name><email>fsouder@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>Jon Madorsky, Managing Principal, 312-229-4125</name><email>jmadorsky@rcpadvisors.com</email></member><member><name>David McCoy, Principal and Portfolio Manager, 312-229-4156</name><email>dmccoy@rcpadvisors.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Research Corporation Technologies</name><website>www.rctech.com</website><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Research Corporation Technologies in Tucson, Ariz., is a technology investment and management company that provides early-stage funding and development for promising biomedical companies and technologies.

The RCT BioVentures program is the vehicle through which RCT invests in start-up or early-stage companies with technologies that promise patented biomedical products with a clear competitive advantage.

The firm's initial investment in a company is typically in the range of $500,000 to $1.5 million, and Rincon is typically a company's first institutional investor. The firm targets a geographic region that it believes displays favorable supply-demand characteristics for venture capital investing. This region is bounded by San Luis Obispo, CA to the north, and Orange County to the south. Rincon considers investments outside of this area, but generally only in conjunction with strong co-investors who are located near the company. The firm focuses on sectors such as digital media, cleantech, technology-enabled services, and consumer Internet, but remains open-minded with regard to opportunities in other sectors. The average total investment over a portfolio company's life is $3,000,000.</description><address><address1>803 Chapala St. </address1><city>Santa Barbara</city><state>CA</state><zip>93101</zip><phone>805-969-5484</phone><fax>805-845-2270 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Blue Casa Communications</name><link>http://www.bluecasa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Iconix Video</name><link>http://iconixvideo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digital Performance</name><link>http://digitalperformance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RingRevenue</name><link>http://www.ringrevenue.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Soliant Energy</name><link>http://soliantenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Steelhouse</name><link>http://www.steelhouse.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Resumator</name><link>http://www.theresumator.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ranker</name><link>http://www.ranker.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GraphEffect</name><link>http://grapheffect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Datapop</name><link>http://www.datapop.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cocodot</name><link>http://cocodot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Burstly</name><link>http://www.burstly.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Elephant Drive</name><link>http://www.elephantdrive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Campus Explorer</name><link>http://www.campusexplorer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Broadsoft</name><link>http://www.broadsoft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tradesy</name><link>http://www.tradesy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Connexity</name><link>http://www.connexity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gradient X</name><link>http://gradientx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>wittlebee</name><link>http://wittlebee.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Launchpad LA</name><link>http://launchpad.la/</link></firm><firm><name>Burstly</name><link>https://www.burstly.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neilsoft</name><link>http://www.neilsoft.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jim Andelman, General Partner</name><email>Jim@RinconVP.com</email></member><member><name>Brian Kelly, General Partner</name><email>Brian@RinconVP.com</email></member><member><name>John Greathouse, Venture Partner</name></member><member><name>Loren Shepard, Administrative Director</name><email>Loren@RinconVP.com</email></member><member><name>Lisa Riedmiller, Controller</name></member></management></company><company><name>Riordan, Lewis &amp; Haden (RLH)</name><website>www.rlhequity.com</website><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry><industry>Business Services</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded more than 20 yrs. ago, Riordan, Lewis &amp; Haden is a Los Angeles-based growth equity firm, providing equity capital for growing middle market companies headquartered in California.

Its members provide funding and guidance to more early-stage, high-growth companies in Southern California than any other investment group. TCA members invest in companies in a wide range of industries, including the life sciences, biotech, IT, services, retail, Internet, financial, software, media, consumer products and tech startups. TCA members give companies more than just capital; they also provide counsel, mentoring and access to an extensive network of potential investors, customers, strategic partners and management talent. Members have invested over $120 million in over 200 companies. These portfolio companies have gone on to attract over $1 billion in additional investment capital. Last year over 600 companies applied to TCA for funding and 17 were funded. To qualify as a portfolio company, a prospective firm must be in a market opportunity sufficiently large to create a business with at least $50 to $100 million in annual revenues, management (not necessarily a complete team) with relevant and successful experience, and an exit strategy for the investors. The Tech Coast Angels is focused on seed-stage companies with high-growth potential, strong management teams, defensible business plans, proprietary intellectual property, and large target opportunities. The group typically invests between $100k-$500k and will lead syndicated deals up to $2 million. TCA is an equity investor and like other early-stage investors, after investing expects to hold a minority position of between 20-35% in a company. The TCA funding process can take as little as 30 days, but more typically requires 60-90 days. 78% of members have run startups, and invest in an average of 10 startups each. TCA has more than 300 members, including its venture capital affiliates, in five networks in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Westlake/Santa Barbara and the Inland Empire. Tech Coast Angels (TCA) created the Angel Capital Entrepreneur Fund I (ACE FUND) as an investment opportunity to both accredited individuals and institutional investors.</description><address><address1>8950 Villa La Jolla Drive, Suite A124</address1><city>La Jolla</city><state>CA</state><zip>92037</zip><phone>858-964-1319</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N-Spine</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=23939079</link></firm><firm><name>Transcepta</name><link>http://www.transcepta.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Airsis</name><link>http://www.airsis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InnoZen</name><link>http://innozen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LandRoller</name><link>http://landroller.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Luxim</name><link>http://www.luxim.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DriveCam</name><link>http://www.drivecam.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inlustra</name><link>http://www.inlustra.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eefoof</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eefoof</link></firm><firm><name>SodaHead</name><link>http://www.sodahead.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nine Star</name><link>http://ninestar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EZ Apps</name><link>http://ezappssolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vigilistics</name><link>http://www.vigilistics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MindBody Software</name><link>http://www.mindbodyonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Media MatchMaker</name><link>http://www.mediamatchmaker.com/</link></firm><firm><name>H2Scan</name><link>http://www.h2scan.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Opticon Medical</name><link>http://www.practicamedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MakeWork</name><link>http://createhere.org/projects/makework</link></firm><firm><name>Mamoca</name><link>http://mamoca.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Masher Media</name><link>http://mashermedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MicroPower</name><link>http://www.micro-power.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MobileCause</name><link>http://www.mobilecause.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MobileXL</name><link>http://www.mobile-xl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MojoPages</name><link>http://www.mojopages.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyShape</name><link>http://www.myshape.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Numira Biosciences</name><link>http://www.numirabio.com/site/</link></firm><firm><name>Olfactor Laboratories</name><link>http://olfactorlabs.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Robin Lee, Los Angeles</name><email>robin@techcoastangels.com</email></member><member><name>Kim Wiig, Orange County</name><email>kim@techcoastangels.com</email></member><member><name>Linda Wells, San Diego</name><email>lmwells@connect.org</email></member><member><name>Gary Clark, Santa Barbara/Westlake</name><email>ws_investment@techcoastangels.com</email></member><member><name>Richard Morganstern, Past President</name></member></management></company><company><name>Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC</name><website>www.tennenbaumcapital.com</website><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (TCP) is a leading multi-strategy alternative investment management firm focused primarily on credit opportunities.

Launched by entrepreneurs and philanthropists Gary and Mary West, the $100 million fund aims to spur an entirely new ecosystem for health care innovation that lowers health care costs. Gary and Mary West, who also operate West Capital Partners (see profile) will not individually profit from the investments made by the West Health Investment Fund, committing returns instead to medical research. The structure also differs from a traditional investment fund, as there are no management fees, there is no carried interest, and compensation for the management team is salaried. The West Health Investment Fund targets primarily early stage opportunities with a strong preference for pre-commercial and early commercial companies. The Fund's areas of interest include health care technologies, data analytics, technology-enabled services, cost transparency, and interoperability. Located in La Jolla on the same campus as the West Health Institute, the approximately 10,000 square foot West Health Incubator provides infrastructure at the facility, strategic guidance and access to an extensive network of key partners, allowing for the transfer to industry of research technologies developed at the Institute and elsewhere. Prior to acceptance or admission, companies in the Incubator must receive an investment commitment from the West Health Investment Fund, which only invests in solutions to lower the cost of health care.</description><address><address1>10350 North Torrey Pines Road</address1><city>La Jolla</city><state>CA</state><zip>92037</zip><phone>855-937-8100</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Biological Dynamics</name><link>http://biologicaldynamics.com/home/Welcome.html</link></firm><firm><name>Change Healthcare</name><link>http://www.changehealthcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>goBalto</name><link>http://www.gobalto.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Healthsense</name><link>http://www.healthsense.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Humedica</name><link>http://www.humedica.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sotera Wireless</name><link>http://www.soterawireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Reflexion</name><link>http://www.reflexion.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Sense4Baby</name><link>http://mobihealthnews.com/9459/west-wireless-health-announces-sense4baby-prototype/</link></firm><firm><name>GlySens</name><link>http://glysens.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RxAnte</name><link>http://www.rxante.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Nicholas J.

Siemer invest in early-stage enterprise and consumer-facing businesses that are positioned for rapid growth.  The firm prefers to work with emerging companies which are on the verge of taking their product or service to market which means that we tend to shy away from ventures that are still in pre-launch stage.  Siemer also likes to seek out companies that have outstripped the funding capabilities of their early investors but are not quite ready for a conventional venture capital round of funding. Siemer typically invests up to $750,000 per venture, with its initial investment size ranging from $150K to $350K, and usually as a part of a larger investment syndicate.  Siemer is fairly agnostic in the industries it targets, but prefers companies that have an information technology element to them.</description><address><address1>1333 Second Street, Suite 600</address1><city>Santa Monica</city><state>CA</state><zip>90401</zip><phone>310-861-2100</phone><fax>800-875-0757</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>500 Startups</name><link>http://500.co/</link></firm><firm><name>Amplify.LA</name><link>http://www.amplify.la/</link></firm><firm><name>AppAddictive</name><link>http://www.appaddictive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ayannah</name><link>http://www.ayannah.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caplinked</name><link>https://secure.caplinked.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CARD.com</name><link>http://card.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CloudAccess</name><link>http://www.cloudaccess.net/</link></firm><firm><name>CloudTrigger</name><link>http://cloudtrigger.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Club W</name><link>http://clubw.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cognition Technologies</name><link>http://www.cognition.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Connexity</name><link>http://www.connexity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EAT Club</name><link>https://www.myeatclub.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ecomom</name><link>http://www.ecomom.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eventup</name><link>http://eventup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Exist Software Labs</name><link>http://www.exist.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Frenzoo Ltd.</name><link>http://www.frenzoo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gradient X</name><link>http://gradientx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GraphEffect</name><link>https://shift.com/grapheffect/</link></firm><firm><name>Groupsite.com</name><link>http://www.groupsite.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Invested.In</name><link>http://invested.in/</link></firm><firm><name>MaestroDev</name><link>http://www.maestrodev.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Marketfish</name><link>http://www.facebook.com/marketfish</link></firm><firm><name>MCN, Inc.</name><link>http://mcn-inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MindBody</name><link>http://www.mindbodyonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Morphlabs</name><link>http://www.morphlabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Optimal</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/optimal</link></firm><firm><name>Phunware</name><link>http://www.phunware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Playsino</name><link>http://www.playsino.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Postcard on the Run</name><link>http://www.postcardontherun.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ranker</name><link>http://www.ranker.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rexter</name><link>https://www.rexter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Science, Inc.</name><link>http://science-inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Skout</name><link>http://www.skout.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Social Annex</name><link>http://socialannex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SodaHead.com</name><link>http://www.sodahead.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StackSocial</name><link>https://stacksocial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StrikeAd</name><link>http://www.strikead.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StyleHaul</name><link>http://www.youtube.com/user/stylehaul</link></firm><firm><name>Surf Airlines</name><link>http://www.surfingairlines.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Technorati</name><link>http://technorati.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Telly</name><link>http://telly.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tradesparq</name><link>http://www.tradesparq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vator</name><link>http://vator.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>Viagogo</name><link>http://www.viagogo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xcast Labs</name><link>http://xcastlabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xyleme</name><link>http://www.xyleme.com/</link></firm><firm><name>YouMail</name><link>http://www.youmail.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David Siemer, Managing Partner</name></member><member><name>Eric Manlunas, Managing Partner</name><email>eric@siemervc.com</email></member><member><name>B.

The founders were joined at Oaktree by 90% of their former TCW investment staff, including 100% of the senior investment professionals. Oaktree is comprised of nine Principals and over 550 staff members in Los Angeles, New York, London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Stamford, Connecticut. The firm's Private Equity strategy is to invest in companies in which it can obtain control or substantial influence, often (although not necessarily), through the medium of distress. The firm's use of leverage is very limited. In 2001, Oaktree established a new strategy in mezzanine investments with a targeted investment size of $20-$75 million, addressing the need for capital to help finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, acquisitions or corporate growth. The firm's GFI Energy Group, which executes the Power Opportunities investment strategy, seeks to make controlling equity investments. Formed in 1995 as GFI Energy Ventures LLC, the team has originated and financed over seventy transactions, deploying over $2 billion of equity capital in the electricity and natural gas sectors.</description><address><address1>333 South Grand Ave., 28th Floor </address1><city>Los Angeles</city><state>CA</state><zip>90071</zip><phone>213-830-6300</phone><fax>213-830-6293 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Nordenia International</name><link>http://www.nordenia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bristol Farms</name><link>http://www.bristolfarms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Energy Solutions International</name><link>http://www.esilighting.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GoodCents</name><link>http://www.goodcents.com/portal/page/portal/goodCents</link></firm><firm><name>Infrastructure &amp; Energy Alternatives</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=139821906</link></firm><firm><name>Integrated Pipeline Services</name><link>http://www.ipsi.us.com/IPS/index.php/ourpeople/integrated-pipeline-serviceshouston</link></firm><firm><name>OpTerra Energy Group</name><link>http://www.opterraenergy.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Howard Marks, Chairman</name><email>hmarks@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Bruce Karsh, President</name><email>bkarsh@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Sheldon Stone, Principal and Portfolio Manager</name></member><member><name>Larry Keele, Principal and Portfolio Manager</name></member><member><name>Richard Masson, Principal</name></member><member><name>Stephen Kaplan, Global Principal and Portfolio Manager</name><email>skaplan@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>John Frank, Managing Principal</name><email>jfrank@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Jim Ford, Global Principal and Co-Portfolio Manager</name><email>jford@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Caleb Kramer, European Principal and Portfolio Manager</name></member><member><name>Ron Beck, Managing Director</name><email>rbeck@oaktreecap.com</email></member><member><name>Ian Schapiro, Portfolio Manager</name></member><member><name>David Kirchheimer, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer</name></member></management></company><company><name>Quercus Trust</name><website/><regions><region>SoCal</region></regions><codes><code>FI</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Quercus Trust is a private investment firm operated by David Gelbaum.

Twice a year Y Combinator invests a small amount of money (average $18k) in a large number of startups (last time 36). YC receives stock in the startup, from 2-10%; usually 6 or 7%. The startups move to Silicon Valley for 3 months, during which the firm works intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present to a large audience of investors. About halfway through each cycle the firm holds an event called Angel Day, at which each startup is paired with 2 angel investors, who will meet with them regularly in the weeks leading up to Demo Day. YC and the YC alumni network continue to help founders for the life of their company. Since 2005, YC has funded over 450 startups.</description><address><address1>320 Pioneer Way</address1><city>Mountain View</city><state>CA</state><zip>94041</zip><phone>650-210-9272</phone><fax>650-745-2487</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Loopt</name><link>https://loopt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Reddit</name><link>http://www.reddit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clustrix</name><link>http://www.clustrix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wufoo</name><link>http://www.wufoo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scribd</name><link>http://www.scribd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xobni</name><link>http://www.xobni.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Weebly</name><link>http://www.weebly.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Songkick</name><link>http://www.songkick.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Disqus</name><link>http://www.disqus.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Dropbox</name><link>http://www.dropbox.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Justin.tv</name><link>http://www.justin.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>Heroku</name><link>http://www.heroku.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Posterous</name><link>http://posterous.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Airbnb</name><link>http://www.airbnb.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Heyzap</name><link>http://www.heyzap.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DailyBooth</name><link>http://dailybooth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WePay</name><link>https://www.wepay.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bump</name><link>http://www.thebump.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hipmunk</name><link>http://www.hipmunk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AeroFS</name><link>http://www.aerofs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stripe</name><link>https://stripe.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kamcord</name><link>http://kamcord.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Firebase</name><link>https://www.firebase.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shopular</name><link>http://shopularapp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Flutter</name><link>https://flutterapp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Canopy Labs</name><link>http://www.canopylabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crowdtilt</name><link>https://www.crowdtilt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ZenPayroll</name><link>https://zenpayroll.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Humble Bundle</name><link>http://www.humblebundle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coinbase</name><link>https://coinbase.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Trevor Blackwell</name></member><member><name>Paul Buchheit</name></member><member><name>Paul Graham</name><email>pg@bugbear.com</email></member><member><name>Jessica Livingston</name></member><member><name>Robert Morris</name></member><member><name>Harj Taggar</name></member><member><name>Geoff Ralston</name></member></management></company><company><name>Youniversity Ventures</name><website>www.youniversityventures.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Youniversity Ventures focuses on the internet consumer space and works primarily with students and first-time entrepreneurs.

Zygote typically invests first, or very early, in innovative technology enterprises. As a privately held angel investor, Zygote Ventures falls somewhere between an entrepreneur and a traditional venture capital fund. Zygote invests only its principal's money, and therefore without limited partners, Zygote can be less risk-averse than most VCs. Zygote prefers companies that require less than $1 million of capital, and prefers investing in the Cleantech space. The firm's principal, Jerry Fiddler, is the founder of Wind River and was for 23 years its CEO and Chairman. Since its establishment in 1981 in Fiddler's Berkeley garage, Wind River grew to become the leading provider of device software worldwide, with over $400M in annual sales, and market cap well over $1B. </description><address><city>San Rafael</city><state>CA</state><phone>931-994-6830</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Wind River</name><link>http://www.windriver.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solazyme</name><link>http://www.solazyme.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tensilica</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensilica</link></firm><firm><name>Servo</name><link>http://www.servo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crossbow</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbow</link></firm><firm><name>GreenWizard</name><link>http://www.greenwizard.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Muse Research</name><link>http://www.museresearch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NexSteppe</name><link>http://www.nexsteppe.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CellScape</name><link>http://www.cellscapecorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>People Power</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Power_Revolution</link></firm><firm><name>Arrayent</name><link>http://arrayent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brillouin Energy</name><link>http://brillouinenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cullen Creek Olive Oil</name><link>http://ccevoliveoil.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Jerry Fiddler, Principal</name><email>jfiddler@yahoo.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>VCFA Group</name><website>www.vcfa.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code><code>SEC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Business Services</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1982, Venture Capital Fund of America, Inc., now VCFA Group, became the first firm formed to acquire interests in private equity funds on a secondary basis.

Today, Vector Capital is a value investor in established technology businesses, both public and private. Vector works in partnership with management to navigate companies through transitions in their business. As a private investor, Vector spins out non-core businesses from corporations, buys founder-owned companies, and fixes balance sheets through recapitalizations. As a public investor Vector takes strategic stakes in undervalued companies. Vector bridges both worlds by taking public companies private, when appropriate. Vector Capital was founded in 1997 and is based in San Francisco, and currently manages over $2 billion in equity capital. New investments are being made by Vector Capital IV, a $1.2 billion fund raised in 2007. The firm's portfolio consists of public and private technology companies, investing in companies that have at least $30 million in revenue.</description><address><address1>One Market Street </address1><address2>Steuart Tower, 23rd Floor </address2><city>San Francisco</city><state>CA</state><zip>94105</zip><phone>415-293-5000 </phone><fax>415-293-5100 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Niku</name><link>http://www.ca.com/us/project-portfolio-management.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Safenet</name><link>http://www.safenet-inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Corel</name><link>http://www.corel.com/servlet/redirector</link></firm><firm><name>Aladdin Knowledge Systems</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_Knowledge_Systems</link></firm><firm><name>Cambium Networks</name><link>http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Certara</name><link>http://www.certara.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Precise</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Precise</link></firm><firm><name>Printronix</name><link>http://printronix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RAE Systems</name><link>http://www.raesystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RealNetworks</name><link>http://www.realnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Register.com</name><link>http://www.register.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tidel</name><link>http://www.tidel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Trafficmaster</name><link>http://www.trafficmastersupport.com/</link></firm><firm><name>20-20 Technologies</name><link>http://www.2020technologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gerber Scientific</name><link>http://www.gerberscientific.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WatchGuard</name><link>http://www.watchguard.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Robert Amen, Principal</name><email>ramen@vectorcapital.com</email></member><member><name>David A.

Abacus is currently seeking new investments in media and education sectors, and is additionally seeking acquisitions of movie theaters as an add-on to its investment in Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas. Abacus Ventures bridges the liquidity gap, focusing exclusively on niche service companies with operating profits of at least $2 million. Abacus Ventures looks to team with successful business owners and managers who are not only seeking liquidity, but who are also interested in the long-term growth of their respective businesses. Because the firm invests its own capital, Abacus is a long-term investor dedicated to the long-term growth and profitability of its portfolio companies. Abacus targets niche service businesses with barriers to entry, a nationwide customer-base, upward trending financials, and sellers seeking liquidity, but wanting to participate in company growth. Abacus' transactions are typically structured as recapitalizations (recaps), where the seller retains significant equity in the company, however the partners will also finance management buyouts (MBOs).</description><address><address1>1686 Sunset Boulevard</address1><city>Boulder</city><state>CO</state><zip>80304</zip><phone>512-276-5140</phone><fax>512-857-1049 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Digney York Associates</name><link>http://digneyyork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NMCR</name><link>http://www.xcenda.com/challenging-cases-calendar.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Critical Watch</name><link>http://www.criticalwatch.com/vulnerability-management.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Springbow Solutions</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=216762</link></firm><firm><name>Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas</name><link>http://drafthouse.com/</link></firm><firm><name>vChatter</name><link>http://vchatter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LIghthouse Solar</name><link>http://lighthousesolar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Critical Watch</name><link>http://criticalwatch.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Dave Kennedy, Managing Director</name><email>dkennedy@abacusventures.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Altira Group, LLC</name><website>www.altiragroup.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage></stages><description>Formed in 1996, Altira invests in companies that develop and commercialize energy technologies in the areas of natural resources, clean energy and electric power.

Areas of current focus include energy-related products and services, semiconductors, Web-enabled services for businesses and consumers, storage, wireless communication, sustainable agriculture, biomedical devices and new drugs with profound social benefits. The firm's dollar commitment ranges from an initial $500,000 seed investment to a $10,000,000 later stage investment, but on average it invests $4-5 million. USVP tends to focus on opportunities that are geographically close to its offices in Menlo Park. USVP looks to invest in markets in excess of $1 billion in revenue potential and rarely invests in markets less than $300 million. </description><address><address1>2735 Sand Hill

This group includes mostly former and current executives and entrepreneurs, but also venture capitalists and small funds. US Angel Investors members look for high quality investment opportunities in information technology, Internet, new media, healthcare IT and medical devices. Other sectors with high growth opportunities will be considered on an opportunistic basis. 5-9 companies are selected to present at a Deal Screening meeting, or are screened online, or are asked to present at the group's monthly FASTPITCH Breakfast. The presentation is 15 minutes long, with a 10-12 minute PowerPoint (12 slides or less), followed by a Q&amp;A session. Companies are selected after screening to present at the monthly US Angel Investor meeting. US Angel Investors works closely with Bay Area Startup Network (www.basn.org), a sister organization whose goal is to provide networking opportunities for early stage startups. Investor members invest individually; there is no fund controlled by US Angel Investors.</description><address><state>CA</state></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Chelsey Henry</name><link>http://www.chelseyhenry.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InFreeDA</name><link>http://techcrunch.com/2006/12/26/att-acquires-infreeda-gets-into-free-411-business/</link></firm><firm><name>PureSense</name><link>http://www.puresense.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Reverbix</name><link>http://reverbix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vitalware</name><link>http://vitalware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zortal</name><link>http://www.zortal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Maslow 6 Entertainment</name><link>http://bradleydurham.com/2010/maslow-6-entertainment/</link></firm><firm><name>Vorbeck</name><link>http://www.vorbeck.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Audiobase</name><link>http://www.audiobase.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Power.com</name><link>http://power.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Boston Heart Lab</name><link>http://bostonheartlab.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Data Physics Research</name><link>http://dpresearch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Krilix</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mt461s8/krilix</link></firm><firm><name>Unicon Systems</name><link>http://unicon-systems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spreezio</name><link>http://www.spreezio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Livehit</name><link>http://livehit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adore Me</name><link>http://www.adoreme.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Martin Mayo</name><email>mmayo@manatt.com</email></member><member><name>Jeff Heller</name><email>jheller@tipsgroup.com</email></member><member><name>John Ricci, Founder &amp; President</name><email>john@usangelinvestors.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Vanguard Venture Partners</name><website>www.vanguardventures.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Vanguard Ventures specializes in seed and early stage pioneering Communications, Life Sciences, and Information Technology investments.

(TVI) is the corporate venture arm of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TPC) a pharmaceutical company and the largest in Japan. TVI assumes the role of Takeda's former venture investment group, Takeda Research Investment, Inc., and remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Takeda America Holdings, Inc.. The new group continues to seek strategic opportunities to complement and extend internal discovery capabilities, but will additionally explore potentially new business avenues for Takeda through external strategic venture activities. Takeda's strategic investment mandate means that while it will consider product, target and technology opportunities at any stage, the firm's focus is on start-up/seed rounds, through mid-stage financings. TVI intends to maintain a diverse investment portfolio, but is presently concentrating on drugs and biotherapeutics to treat cancer, metabolic disorders (obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemias), cardiovascular disorders, chronic inflammatory disorders (particularly for gastrointestinal and bone and joint diseases) and diseases for the central nervous system (specifically Alzheimers Disease and schizophrenia). Additional areas of strategic importance are regenerative medicines, RNA and DNA modulation, novel vaccines technologies and innovative protein and peptide biotherapeutics. Currently, TVI does not invest in anti-infective diseases, medical devices, or diagnostics platforms.</description><address><address1>435 Tasso Street, Suite 300</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94301</zip><phone>650-328-2900</phone><fax>650-328-2922</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Adamas</name><link>http://www.adamas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lectus Therapeutics</name><link>http://lectustherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Patris Limited</name><link>http://www.business.com.au/patris-projects-pty-limited/</link></firm><firm><name>CellCentric</name><link>http://cellcentric.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Curidum Medica</name><link>http://www.curidium.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Domainex</name><link>http://www.domainex.co.uk/</link></firm><firm><name>Envoy Therapeutics</name><link>http://envoytherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fate Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.fatetherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Heptares Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.heptares.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Naurex</name><link>http://www.naurex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NGM Biopharmaceuticals</name><link>http://ngmbio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Patrys</name><link>http://patrys.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Redwood Bioscience</name><link>http://www.redwoodbioscience.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Symphogen</name><link>http://www.symphogen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xenon Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.xenon-pharma.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Graeme Martin Ph.D., President &amp; CEO</name><email>graeme.martin@tri-takeda.com</email></member><member><name>Ilan Zipkin Ph.D., Senior Investment Director</name></member><member><name>Yuji Iizawa, Senior Investment Director</name><email>yuji.iizawa@tri-takeda.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Tallwood Venture Capital</name><website>www.tallwoodvc.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Semiconductor</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Tallwood Venture Capital focuses on semiconductors and semiconductor related technologies. Tallwood has $600 million currently under management including the $180 million Tallwood II, raised in 2002, and the more recently closed Tallwood III, a $250 million fund. Tallwood invests broadly in companies with semiconductor and semiconductor-related technologies, including semiconductor manufacturing equipment as well as EDA tools for designing semiconductors. The firm also looks at new materials and processes, although the bulk of our investments are in fabless semiconductor companies. The average investment is $4 million to $6 million per round, and about $15 million total per company over the life of the investment. However, Tallwood has invested as little as $50K to help develop an idea.

Jeff put together Fund II during the summer of 2007 and announced it in September 2007. Mr. Clavier's goal with Fund II was to invest in about 20 companies per year, as a lead, co-lead or member of a syndicate, investing $100K to $5000K without a specific target in percentage of ownership. Round size would range $500K to $1.5M, and would include typically one to three other seed firms, a number of individual angels and in some cases traditional VCs investing directly from their main fund or through a seed vehicle. Since August 2007, SoftTech VC II has invested in 60+ early stage startups, pretty much keeping up with the stated objective of 20 companies per year. Similar to Fund I, Fund II had a number of early stage exits, and has seen significant follow-on activity with 29 companies raising over $170M in additional financing to date. In 2011, a $35M successor fund made its debut. This fund targets an average initial "bite size" of $400K, ranging from $250K to $750K - with selective follow-on reserves, with an initial ownership target of 5% - and 10%. The firm is now also making investments from Fund III.</description><address><address1>395 Page Mill Rd., Suite 110</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94301</zip><phone>650-688-1801</phone><fax>650-475 3937</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>SocialMedia.com</name><link>http://www.socialmedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Active Athlete Media</name><link>http://www.sportgenic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Satisfaction Unlimited</name><link>http://www.myspace.com/satisfactionunlimited</link></firm><firm><name>Grouply</name><link>http://www.grouply.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Songkick</name><link>http://www.songkick.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Circle of Moms</name><link>http://www.circleofmoms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WeGame</name><link>http://www.wegame.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Townhog</name><link>http://www.buywithme.com/townhog?partner=townhog</link></firm><firm><name>Gnip</name><link>http://gnip.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Blekko</name><link>http://blekko.com/</link></firm><firm><name>fotopedia</name><link>http://www.fotopedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fitbit</name><link>http://www.fitbit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>One True Fan</name><link>http://www.onetruefan.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BetterWorks</name><link>http://www.betterworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MovieClips</name><link>http://movieclips.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Answerly</name><link>https://www.inboxq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Breezy</name><link>https://www.breezy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GigWalk</name><link>http://gigwalk.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fab</name><link>http://fab.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Card.io</name><link>http://www.card.ro/</link></firm><firm><name>TakeLessons</name><link>http://takelessons.com/</link></firm><firm><name>8tracks</name><link>http://8tracks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bionic Panda Games</name><link>http://bionicpandagames.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BlinkBooking</name><link>http://www.blinkbooking.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Breezy</name><link>https://www.breezy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Byliner</name><link>http://byliner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Card.io</name><link>https://www.card.io/</link></firm><firm><name>ClassDojo</name><link>http://www.classdojo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clever</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Clever</link></firm><firm><name>Coterie</name><link>https://www.coterie.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DNANexus</name><link>http://dnanexus.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jean-Francois (Jeff) Clavier, Founder &amp; Managing Partner</name></member><member><name>Charles Hudson, Venture Partner</name></member><member><name>Stephanie Palmeri </name></member><member><name>Ashley Cravens</name></member></management></company><company><name>SONY Corporation</name><website>www.sonyvc.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>CVC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Sony Strategic Venture Investment makes early stage, minority investments in technology startup companies.

Based in Australia and New Zealand, Southern Cross currently has three funds under management; the $170 million Southern Cross Fund No. 1, the $40 million Southern Cross IIF Fund and the $200 million Southern Cross Renewable Energy Fund. Southern Cross assists early stage technology companies that demonstrate the potential for exceptional growth and market leadership. Southern Cross prefers to act as lead or co-lead in the early stages. The firm does not have a minimum investment amount, however, a typical initial investment will be $2 million to $10 million with an ability to invest more money in later rounds.

Although the firm's primary geographic focus is investments in the United States, Startup will invest opportunistically in Asia, primarily in China, through its offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

The firm is interested in decentralized distribution of media and information, Twitter, cloud computing and crowd sourcing. Josh Felser, a General Partner at Freestyle, worked at News Corp for four years. He also worked in new media as co-founder and president of Spinner, the first multi-channel Internet radio service and was co-founder and CEO of Grouper/Crackle, one of the first Internet video networks. Both companies were acquired in less than three years for $320M (AOL) and $65M (Sony Pictures) respectively. Felser and his partner from Spinner and Grouper, Dave Samuel, started Freestyle Capital to fill the void between retreating angels and VCs moving to later stage investments. </description><address><address1>2601 Mission St., Suite 900</address1><city>San Francisco</city><state>CA</state><zip>94110</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Super Secret</name><link>http://www.supersecret.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kidlandia</name><link>http://www.kidlandia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Get Satisfaction</name><link>http://getsatisfaction.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Dolores Labs</name><link>http://doloreslabs.com/contact.html</link></firm><firm><name>Type Kit</name><link>https://typekit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CoTweet</name><link>http://cotweet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SimpleGeo</name><link>https://simplegeo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rixty</name><link>https://www.rixty.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Formspring.Me</name><link>http://www.formspring.me/</link></firm><firm><name>StyleTrek</name><link>http://www.styletrek.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Recurly</name><link>http://recurly.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardPool</name><link>http://www.cardpool.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chartbeat</name><link>http://chartbeat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>about.me</name><link>http://about.me/</link></firm><firm><name>Anybeat</name><link>http://www.anybeat.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Backtype</name><link>http://www.backtype.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Byliner</name><link>http://byliner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CrowdFlower</name><link>http://crowdflower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Enflick</name><link>http://www.enflick.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GoInstant</name><link>http://www.goinstant.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Imperium</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperium</link></firm><firm><name>IndexTank</name><link>http://indextank.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mongolab</name><link>https://mongolab.com/home/</link></firm><firm><name>Mr. Number</name><link>http://mrnumber.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SnappyTV</name><link>http://www.snappytv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Typekit</name><link>https://typekit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yobongo</name><link>http://yobongo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>9Gag</name><link>http://9gag.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clarity</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/clarity</link></firm><firm><name>GetSatisfaction</name><link>https://getsatisfaction.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Josh Felser, General Partner, www.linkedin.com/in/joshfelser</name></member><member><name>Dave Samuel, General Partner, www.linkedin.com/in/thedjdave</name></member><member><name>Molly Anawalt, Executive Assistant</name></member></management></company><company><name>Sevin Rosen Funds (SRF)</name><website>www.srfunds.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Semiconductor</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1981, Sevin Rosen Funds focuses its investments in enterprise software and services, semiconductors/computing, and telecommunications companies.

Shalon invests in its companies directly using the Shalon Ventures fund and raises additional capital through close collaborations with leading life science VC firms. Shalon is particularly interested in clinical and consumer products based on devices, material science, device/material combinations, specialty pharmaceuticals and clinically significant diagnostics, but will consider investment in any innovative idea in the life sciences. </description><address><address1>532 Emerson Street</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94301</zip><phone>650-566-8200</phone><fax>650-473-9196  </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Neosil</name><link>http://www.shalon.com/shalon/portfolio/neosil.htm</link></firm><firm><name>AirXpanders</name><link>http://www.airxpanders.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Synteni</name><link>http://www.synteni.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iWhisper</name><link>http://www.iwhisper.net/</link></firm><firm><name>BioPolymerix</name><link>http://www.shalon.com/shalon/portfolio/biopolmerix.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Intelligent Biocides</name><link>http://www.shalon.com/shalon/portfolio/intelligent-biocides.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Renew Medical</name><link>http://renewmedicalspalv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sensate</name><link>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sensate</link></firm><firm><name>Airflow Medical</name><link>http://www.shalon.com/shalon/portfolio/Airflow_Medical.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Gard Medical</name><link>http://www.shalon.com/shalon/portfolio/Gard_Medical.htm</link></firm><firm><name>OsteoGenix</name><link>http://osteogenix.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Teddy Shalon, Managing Partner</name><email>teddy@shalon.com</email></member><member><name>Dari Shalon, Managing Partner</name><email>dari@shalon.com</email></member><member><name>Dr. Sam Sawan</name><email>sam@shalon.com</email></member><member><name>Dr. Ajit S.

The Angels' Forum only invests in Silicon Valley/Bay Area companies, reviewing more than 20 deals per week and making 5-15 A round investments annually. The firm limits its investments to companies headquartered within 50 miles of Mountain View, CA. Typical initial investments range between $100,000 and $1 million in a wide range of industry sectors including medical devices and services, IT, Internet and consumer. The group also operates the Halo Fund, a limited partnership venture fund that co-invests with The Angels' Forum (TAF). Generally, The Halo Fund matches the investment made by The Angels' Forum dollar for dollar, but when certain criteria have been met, The Halo Fund can match $1.50 for every TAF dollar. The total size of an investment by the group is $3 million.</description><address><address1>2665 Marine Way, Suite 1150</address1><city>Mountain View</city><state>CA</state><zip>94043</zip><phone>650-857-0700  </phone><fax>650-857-0773 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Charles Chocolates</name><link>http://charleschocolates.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MOG</name><link>http://mog.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aravo Solutions</name><link>http://aravo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spinal Modulation</name><link>http://spinalmodulation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ZONARE Medical</name><link>http://www.zonare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Glue Networks</name><link>http://www.gluenetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IntraPace</name><link>http://www.intrapace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LamdaGen</name><link>http://lamdagen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PanTerra Networks</name><link>http://www.panterranetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Penumbra</name><link>http://www.penumbragame.com/ageGate.php</link></firm><firm><name>Purple Wave</name><link>http://www.purplewave.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sonoma Orthopedics</name><link>http://sonomaorthopedics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Specialty's Cafe &amp; Bakery</name><link>http://www.specialtys.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tea Living</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=28689110</link></firm><firm><name>Wordlock</name><link>http://www.wordlock.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Halo Fund Investment Team:</name><member><name>Carol M.

$140 million in its portfolio, Harris &amp; Harris Group, Inc. is one of the most active nanotechnology investors in the world. Founded 1983, the firm has funded companies developing nanoscale-enabled solutions in solid state lighting, emerging memory devices, printable electronics, material science discovery and mass-manufacturing, organic-inorganic hybrids, next-generation semiconductor devices and equipment, thermoelectric, photovoltaic and battery technologies, as well as in various life-science applications of nano-structured materials.

According to published reports, the firm's term sheets will be determined by a computer, and all funded companies will receive the same legal terms (the valuation and funding amount will vary based on the application). The fund will have a ranking method to rate applicants on a variety of categories such as experience/technical ability and systematically provide a pre-money valuation. The firm will focus exclusively on true seed-stage ventures. They may be as early as a founding team with an idea on paper, or they may be as late as ten people with an early version of the product and a few beta customers.

Aphelion Capital invests in medical technology companies across all stages and therapeutic areas, but strongly prefers investments in companies with low capital requirements and short time lines to market. The Fund is generally a long term investor in companies that the partners believe have superior products and strong management teams. Aphelion prefers private investments where the team can partner with the company to enhance success and value appreciation. The firm will lead $20 million syndicates, or invest as little as $50,000 on a seed company.</description><address><address1>100 Tiburon Boulevard, Suite 215</address1><city>Mill Valley</city><state>CA</state><zip>94941</zip><phone>415-944-8123 </phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Aardvark Medical</name><link>http://aardvarkmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Curant</name><link>http://www.courant.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CytoPherx</name><link>http://www.cytopherx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InSound Medical</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=735079</link></firm><firm><name>Insule</name><link>http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/insule</link></firm><firm><name>SurgiQuest</name><link>http://surgiquest.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tria Beauty</name><link>http://www.triabeauty.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aurora SFC Systems</name><link>http://aurorasfc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catheter Connections</name><link>http://www.catheterconnections.com/about/</link></firm><firm><name>Clear Catheter Systems</name><link>http://www.pleuraflow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Corium</name><link>http://www.coriumgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iHear Medical</name><link>http://centermdi.com/ihear.html</link></firm><firm><name>Mercator MedSystems</name><link>http://mercatormed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Niveus Medical</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtm5k5c/niveus-medical</link></firm><firm><name>SIesta Medical</name><link>http://siestamedical.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Ned Scheetz, Founder and Managing Director</name></member><member><name>John Hyung-Jun Kim, MD, MBA, Associate</name></member><member><name>Pamela Edwards, Executive Assistant</name></member></management></company><company><name>Applied Intellectual Capital</name><website>www.apicap.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>I</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>Applied Intellectual Capital creates sustainable, market-driven solutions for meeting today's emerging challenges.

The firm prefers to make equity commitments of $5-20 million in buyout or recapitalization transactions.

Since 2000, Incubic has invested or committed about $40M of that fund to the companies in its portfolio. Incubic has diverse market interests, but prefers markets where a core technology can make a difference that is very valuable. Markets addressed by the firm's present portfolio include: communications, cable television infrastructure, research instrumentation, life science research, cancer diagnostics, specialized microprocessors, memory, and EDA software. However, Incubic is interested in medical devices as well. The group has invested as little as $100K into a start-up, and as much as $5M in a single round. The firm's average has been about $5M over the life of the company (and as high as $10M). Incbuic's focus is seed investments, although the firm will consider late-stage companies.  </description><address><address1>545 Middlefield Road, Suite 130</address1><city>Menlo Park</city><state>CA</state><zip>94025</zip><phone>650-279-2489</phone><fax>650-941-7267</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Grandis</name><link>http://grandisinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Greystripe</name><link>http://www.greystripe.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nellix</name><link>http://www.endologix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tria Beauty</name><link>http://www.triabeauty.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Precision Photonics</name><link>http://www.precisionphotonics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aurrion</name><link>http://www.aurrion.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MBio Diagnostics</name><link>http://mbiodx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>YesVideo</name><link>http://www.yesvideo.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Milton Chang, Founder and Managing Director, 650-961-2223</name><email>miltonchang@incubic.com</email></member><member><name>Nick Colella, Co-Director, 408-761-4164</name><email>ncolella@incubic.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>IndoUS Capital, LLC</name><website>www.iuvp.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage></stages><description>IndoUS Ventures is a leading venture capital firm which provides early and mid-stage funding to new or growing businesses in India.

Since 1994, Band members have seeded 225 companies, with 50+ profitable M&amp;A exits and 9 Nasdaq IPOs. Band members have founded companies such as Symantec, Logitech, and National Semiconductor and been senior executives at the likes of Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, and Intuit. The group has invested more than $208 million. The group invests in the range of $300k to $750k, but often leads a syndication of $2-3M. Generally the group expects to own a third of the company for a $1M investment. The Band invests across all high technology categories, with the majority of these investments made in the seed or early round (Series A or B). The group also operates The Band of Angels Fund, LP, a $50M venture fund comprised exclusively of institutional partners. The fund co-invests exclusively in deals that are subscribed to by members of the Band of Angels. In 2009 the Band raised a 3rd side fund, called Acorn Fund, which caters to "scrappy entrepreneurs who need just a little bit of capital." </description><address><address1>535 Middlefield Road, Suite 190 </address1><city>Menlo Park</city><state>CA</state><zip>94025</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Rapidmoney</name><link>http://www.rapid-money.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Quindi</name><link>http://www.quindi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Arcwave</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=112790</link></firm><firm><name>Jobflash</name><link>http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2003_May_29/ai_102537136/</link></firm><firm><name>Geometrix</name><link>http://www.geometrixco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MBA Polymers</name><link>http://www.mbapolymers.com/home/</link></firm><firm><name>Ordinate</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinate</link></firm><firm><name>Alpine Micro Systems</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/people.asp?privcapId=139805</link></firm><firm><name>Aura Communications</name><link>http://auracomm-bd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Billions of Operations Per Second</name><link>http://topics.vlex.com/tags/billions-of-operations-per-second-inc-3002786</link></firm><firm><name>C Level Design</name><link>http://www.c-level-design.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ChipScale</name><link>http://www.chipscalereview.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chipwright Deisgns</name><link>http://www.chipwrights.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Diagonal Systems Holding</name><link>http://www.footballreferee.org/assistant_referees_diagonal.php</link></firm><firm><name>Fidelica</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=718065</link></firm><firm><name>Global Factory</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=427640</link></firm><firm><name>innoComm</name><link>http://www.innocomm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AeroPrise</name><link>http://www.crunchbase.com/company/aeroprise</link></firm><firm><name>BroadbandPhysics</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=1090483</link></firm><firm><name>Consorte</name><link>http://www.consortemarketing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ensenda</name><link>http://ensenda.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Experclick</name><link>http://expertclick.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Genitope Corporation</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=GTOP</link></firm><firm><name>MForma</name><link>http://www.rockyou.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Native Minds</name><link>http://nativemind.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Nellix</name><link>http://www.endologix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Therative</name><link>http://www.therative.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Ian Patrick Sobieski, Managing Director</name><email>ian@bandangels.com</email></member><member><name>Tim Massey, Principal</name><email>tim@bandangels.com</email></member><member><name>Ed Canty, Chief Financial Officer</name></member><member><name>Nicola Corzine, Deal Manager</name></member><member><name>Tim Taylor, Oral Presentation Coach</name></member></management></company><company><name>Baseline Ventures</name><website>www.baselinev.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>A</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Founded in 2006 by Steve Anderson, Baseline Ventures targets early-stage companies who need help with the funding gap between inividual investors and institutional venture capital.

Evans is the Founder and Managing Partner of Sandwith Ventures (SV), a San Francisco and Philadelphia based investment firm focusing on angel and early stage investments. Founded in January, 2007, Sandwith Ventures focuses its investments in three main sectors:  1) retail and consumer oriented e-commerce  2) internet marketplaces and  3) online marketing and advertising services. Investments are concentrated in the Bay Area and Philadelphia, but SV will also look at deals on the East Coast as far south as Washington, D.C. and as far north as New York City. Previous to launching Sandwith Ventures, Colin was a Co-Founder, member of the Executive Team and Vice President of Sales and Business Development at StubHub.com, a successful online ticket exchange founded in 2000 (and sold to eBay in early 2007). Sandwith Ventures most significant involvement is with entrepreneurs and early stage companies from company formation to the first raise of institutional capital. SV works with companies on all aspects of monetization, customer acquisition, distribution, organizational strategy and operations. Once a company has reached a point of 20+ employees and greater than $5MM in aggregate venture capital raised, the role of Sandwith Ventures greatly diminishes.  </description><address><address1>3612 Webster Street </address1><city>San Francisco</city><state>CA</state><zip>94123</zip><phone>415-218-7940</phone><fax>415-276-2340</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>ModCloth.com</name><link>http://www.modcloth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Shop It To Me</name><link>http://shopittome.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Socializr</name><link>http://www.socializr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bonobos</name><link>http://www.bonobos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BountyJobs</name><link>http://www.bountyjobs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zwaggle</name><link>http://www.zwaggle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spreecast</name><link>http://www.spreecast.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SkyGrid</name><link>http://www.skygrid.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Placely</name><link>http://mashable.com/2008/05/20/placely-official-launc/</link></firm><firm><name>TicketLeap</name><link>http://www.ticketleap.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ryzing</name><link>http://ryzing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lionside</name><link>http://lionside.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CommunityLend</name><link>http://www.communitylend.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RentJuice</name><link>http://rentalpro.zillow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Foodzie</name><link>http://foodzie.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Homeboodle</name><link>http://livelovely.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eRealInvestor</name><link>http://erealinvestor.com/eriweb/index.cfm</link></firm><firm><name>Rich Relevance</name><link>https://www.richrelevance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Invite Media</name><link>http://www.invitemedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Marin Software</name><link>http://www.marinsoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bright Edge</name><link>http://www.brightedge.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Waterfall Mobile</name><link>http://www.waterfallmobile.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Colin M.

SAP Ventures is backed by the resources of SAP, the world's largest inter-enterprise software company. The venture arm acts independently of SAP, but works to invest in opportunities inside and outside the company's corporate focus, and also fosters communication between innovative companies and SAP. SAP is currently investing out of a 2011 vintage $353M Fund. The firm never leads investments. SAP normally participates as part of an investor syndicate, and typically prefers the lead to be a new investor with a proven track record. The firm's typical initial investment size runs from $5 million to $12 million with allocations for future investment, should the company require it. SAP does not take board-of-director or supervisory board seats, but does require observer rights at the board level. The SAP HANA Real Time Fund (a 2012 vintage $155M fund of funds) focuses on the development of real-time applications and leveraging the power of big data SAP Ventures has invested in over 100 companies, mostly based in North America and Europe.  </description><address><address1>3412 Hillview Ave.</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94304</zip><phone>650-849-3996</phone><fax>650-687-9097</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Apriso</name><link>http://www.apriso.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Black Duck Software</name><link>http://www.blackducksoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endeca</name><link>http://www.endeca.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Datria Systems</name><link>http://datria.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aepona</name><link>http://www.aepona.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alfresco</name><link>http://www.alfresco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Apigee</name><link>http://apigee.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Black Duck Software</name><link>http://www.blackducksoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Box</name><link>http://box.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Control 4</name><link>http://control4.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Greenplum</name><link>http://www.greenplum.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ExactTarget</name><link>http://www.exacttarget.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GroundWork Open Source</name><link>http://www.gwos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ignite</name><link>http://igniteinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Imprivata</name><link>http://www.imprivata.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Virsa</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virsa</link></firm><firm><name>Intalio</name><link>http://www.intalio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Iovation</name><link>http://www.iovation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iTac Software</name><link>http://en.itac.de/</link></firm><firm><name>Coghead</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coghead</link></firm><firm><name>iYogi</name><link>http://www.iyogi.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Jaspersoft</name><link>http://www.jaspersoft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Justdial</name><link>http://www.justdial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CommerceOne</name><link>http://www.commerceone.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Nino Marakovic, CEO &amp; Managing Director</name><email>nino.marakovic@sap.com</email></member><member><name>Andreas Weiskam, Managing Director</name><email>andreas.weiskam@sap.com</email></member><member><name>Jai Das, Managing Director</name><email>jai.das@sap.com</email></member><member><name>David Hartwig, Managing Director</name><email>david.hartwig@sap.com</email></member><member><name>Doug Higgins, Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Gaurav Tewari, Director</name></member><member><name>Raza Jafri, Associate </name></member><member><name>Elizabeth Clarkson, COO &amp; Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Kevin Diestel, Senior Associate</name></member><member><name>Anders Ranum, Venture Partner</name></member><member><name>Sean Park, Vice President Finance</name></member></management></company><company><name>Cambrian Ventures, Inc.</name><website>www.cambrianventures.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Storage &amp; Hardware</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Cambrian Ventures is a technology research and venture capital firm whose partners, Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman, co-founded Junglee Corp., and are both Ph.D.'s in Computer Science.

The partners focus on four sectors: communications &amp; technology, data center infrastructure, software &amp; services, and media &amp; entertainment. Historically, more than half of CRV's investments have been to companies with fewer than 10 employees. The partners don't require a complete management team (in order to consider investing), since CRV often helps in building one. The firm expects to invest between $3 and $20 million over the lifetime of a project. Its initial investment can be as small as $25,000, or as large as $5 million. In addition to seed funding, the firm generally provides leadership on second round financing as well. Charles River also maintains an office in Boston. </description><address><address1>2882 Sand Hill Road, Suite 106 </address1><city>Menlo Park</city><state>CA</state><zip>94025</zip><phone>650-687-5600 </phone><fax>650-687-5699  </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BigBand Networks</name><link>http://www.bigbandnet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BroadSoft</name><link>http://www.broadsoft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crossbeam Systems</name><link>http://www.crossbeamsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nantero</name><link>http://www.nantero.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jitterbug</name><link>http://www.greatcall.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iControl</name><link>http://www.icontrol.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ActiveNetwork</name><link>http://www.activenetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Blippy</name><link>http://blippy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Geni</name><link>http://www.geni.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Glyde</name><link>http://glyde.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mochila</name><link>http://www.mochila.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Twitter</name><link>http://twitter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Viki</name><link>http://www.viki.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CarrierIQ</name><link>http://www.carrieriq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cloudshare</name><link>http://www.cloudshare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DataGravity</name><link>http://www.datagravity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GrabCAD</name><link>http://grabcad.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hubspot</name><link>http://www.hubspot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GreatCall</name><link>http://www.greatcall.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fiksu</name><link>http://www.fiksu.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Udacity</name><link>http://www.udacity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yammer</name><link>http://www.yammer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scribd</name><link>http://www.scribd.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Izhar Armony, Partner</name><email>izhar@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Chris Baldwin, Partner Emeritus</name><email>chris@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Rick Burnes, Partner Emeritus</name><email>rick@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Ted Dintersmith, Partner Emeritus</name><email>ted@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Bruce Sachs, Partner</name><email>bruce@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Saar Gur, Partner</name><email>saar@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Jon Auerbach, Partner</name><email>jon@crv.com</email></member><member><name>George Zachary, Partner</name><email>george@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Max Gazor, Partner</name><email>max@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Adam Enbar, Partner</name><email>aenbar@crv.com</email></member><member><name>Annie Kadavy, Partner</name><email>akadavy@crv.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Charter Life Sciences</name><website>www.charterls.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1982, Charter Life Sciences is an early stage life sciences venture capital investor.

JAFCO Ventures was re-established in 2003 as an independent venture capital partnership. Its first fund, JAFCO Technology Partners I, closed in July of 2003 and is capitalized at $100 million. Today JAFCO Ventures has $450 million under management with the recent closing of its third fund. The firm invests in early-stage technology companies within the communications, components, digital media, Internet, software and wireless sectors. The firm's "sweet spot" is to lead financings that are in the $10 to $20 million range, but it has invested in both smaller and larger rounds as well. For an initial investment, the company usually provides no less than $3 million and up to $8 million. Over the last three decades, JAFCO has managed over 60 investment funds worldwide through its offices in Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, North America, and other parts of the world. Leveraging its value-added orientation, JAFCO has made investments in over 2,500 emerging companies, with approximately 700 of these ventures becoming publicly traded companies. </description><address><address1>505 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 310</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94301</zip><phone>650-463-8800</phone><fax>650-463-8801</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Awarepoint</name><link>http://www.awarepoint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Brion Technologies</name><link>http://www.brion.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Calypto</name><link>http://www.calypto.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avnera</name><link>http://www.avnera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClairMail</name><link>http://www.clairmail.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cortina Systems</name><link>http://cortina-systems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FireEye</name><link>http://www.fireeye.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bill.com</name><link>http://www.bill.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clicker</name><link>http://www.clicker.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DATAllegro</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DATAllegro</link></firm><firm><name>Devicescape</name><link>http://www.devicescape.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Infinera</name><link>http://infinera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inkling</name><link>http://www.inkling.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kixeye</name><link>http://www.kixeye.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Marketlive</name><link>http://www.marketlive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hara</name><link>http://www.hara.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Meebo</name><link>https://www.meebo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mimosa Systems</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=13564485</link></firm><firm><name>Ocarina Networks</name><link>http://www.ocarinanetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Proofpoint</name><link>http://www.proofpoint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Reputation.com</name><link>http://www.reputation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Voltage Security</name><link>http://voltage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>41st Parameter</name><link>http://www.the41.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aster Data</name><link>http://www.asterdata.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FireEye</name><link>http://www.fireeye.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GroundWork</name><link>http://www.gwos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Group Commerce</name><link>http://groupcommerce.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Huddle</name><link>http://www.huddle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MoPub</name><link>http://www.mopub.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Oodle</name><link>http://www.oodle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Plastic Jungle</name><link>https://www.plasticjungle.com/main</link></firm><firm><name>Purfresh</name><link>http://www.purfresh.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ratify</name><link>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ratify</link></firm><firm><name>Sencha</name><link>http://www.sencha.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SiTime</name><link>http://www.sitime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RedSeal Networks</name><link>http://www.redsealnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SocialVibe</name><link>http://www.socialvibe.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solidcore</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidcore_Systems</link></firm><firm><name>TuneIn</name><link>http://tunein.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ultrasolar Technology</name><link>http://ultrasolartech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vuclip</name><link>http://www.vuclip.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WGT</name><link>https://www.wgt.com/signup.aspx</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Joe Horowitz, Managing General Partner</name><email>joe@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Ben Shih, Partner</name><email>ben@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Mawhinney, General Partner</name><email>tom@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Debby Meredith, Venture Partner</name><email>debby@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Nick Sturiale, Venture Consultant</name><email>nick@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Jeb Miller, General Partner</name><email>jeb@jafco.com</email></member><member><name>Paul Sallaberry, Venture Partner</name><email>paul@jafco.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Jane Capital Partners, LLC</name><website>www.janecapital.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>MB</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 2001, Jane Capital Partners, LLC is a merchant and investment banking firm advising on buyside M&amp;A, strategic alliances, and strategic financings for clients ranging from growth stage to multi-national companies, and in select cases, the firm acts as a principal.

The fund will be deployed over a period of 3-4 years, with initial investment in the range of $100K - $250K, while reserving capital to participate in the follow-on round. K9 expects to be an active investor in portfolio companies and will typically make only 4-6 new investments per year. K9 focuses on concept-stage (sub $100k) and seed-stage (sub $1M) technology startups in the San Francisco Bay Area, which have the potential to be capital efficient and make successful acquisition exits. K9's Principal, Manu Kumar, was the Founder, President and CEO of SneakerLabs, a company which developed software and services for web-based customer interaction. After the successful acquisition of SneakerLabs (March 2000), Manu served as the Vice-President of Interactive Technologies for E.piphany. K9 targets companies that are "hyper-local," where the entire team is located in the SF Bay Area; no distributed teams, no overseas teams, and no companies that rely on "outsourcing" to build their core technology.</description><address><address1>530 Lytton Ave., 2nd Floor</address1><city>Palo Alto</city><state>CA</state><zip>94301</zip></address><altaddress><name>(Mailing Address)</name><address1>P.O.

DBL's "Double Bottom Line" investment strategy is to invest in companies that can deliver top-tier venture capital returns while working with its companies to enable social, environmental and economic improvement in the regions in which they operate. The firm's first fund, the Bay Area Equity Fund I, implemented this double bottom line investment model in the San Francisco Bay Area. DBL's second fund, the DBL Equity Fund - BAEF II has the same investing approach with an expanded geographic focus of the Western U.S. At the same time that portfolio companies deliver tangible benefits to the community, such as job creation in low-income neighborhoods and corporate community engagement, their businesses are global in scope and many are international leaders in their fields. DBL funds make investments in private growth companies with a strong emphasis on investments in Clean Tech as well as investments in Health Care, Information Technology, and Sustainability-Oriented Products and Services. </description><address><address1>One Montgomery Street, Suite 2375</address1><city>San Francisco</city><state>CA</state><zip>94104</zip><phone>415-568-2901</phone><fax>415-956-2561</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Pandora</name><link>http://www.pandora.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Revolution Foods</name><link>http://revfoods.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BightSource Energy</name><link>http://www.brightsourceenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PowerLight</name><link>http://us.sunpowercorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Labcyte</name><link>http://www.labcyte.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tesla</name><link>http://www.teslamotors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>XDx</name><link>http://www.xdx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FivePrime Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.fiveprime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bentek</name><link>http://www.bentekenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SolarCity</name><link>http://www.solarcity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Labcyte</name><link>http://labcyte.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eMeter</name><link>http://www.emeter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solaria</name><link>http://www.solaria.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Solexant</name><link>http://solexant.com/</link></firm><firm><name>inSpa</name><link>http://inspa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FloDesign</name><link>http://flodesign.org/</link></firm><firm><name>PowerGenix</name><link>http://www.powergenix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Primus Power</name><link>http://www.primuspower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Livescribe</name><link>http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/</link></firm><firm><name>Kateeva</name><link>http://kateeva.com/</link></firm><firm><name>inSpa</name><link>http://inspa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EcoScraps</name><link>http://ecoscraps.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Maiyet</name><link>http://maiyet.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Nancy Pfund, Managing Partner</name><email>nancy@dblinvestors.com</email></member><member><name>Cynthia Ringo, Managing Partner</name><email>cynthia@dblinvestors.com</email></member><member><name>Seth Miller, Partner</name><email>seth@dblinvestors.com</email></member><member><name>Mark Perutz, Partner</name><email>mark@dblinvestors.com</email></member><member><name>Carol Wong, Fund Manager</name><email>carol@dblinvestors.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>DCM (Doll Capital Management)</name><website>www.dcm.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1996, DCM invests in technology companies in the Communications and Internet software/services sectors, and Cleantech sectors.

Diamondhead focuses primarily on early stage opportunities and leverages close relationships with leading research universities to discover the most promising ideas. The firm believes that spin-out opportunities offer significant capital efficiency benefits by leveraging prior research and development efforts, thereby enabling Diamondhead to fund emerging technologies at lower risk and lower cost than typical early stage opportunities. Diamondhead makes initial seed and Series A investments ranging from $500,000 to $5 million.

The firm's seed fund consists of "science or innovation experiments" and other almost imprudent risks, be they in information technology or cleantech, where the firm is often the sole investor. KV's main fund looks at more traditional ventures, from early to later stages in all areas of technology. Several sectors are of particular interest to the firm: mobile, Internet, alternative energy, energy efficiency, storage, materials, and other unconventional areas. KVfounder, Vinod Khosla, was formerly a General Partner at Kleiner Perkins (see profile) and a founder of Sun Microsystems. Vinod has been hailed the #1 VC by Forbes, and Fortune recently labeled him as one the nation's most influential ethanol advocates, noting "there are venture capitalists, and there's Vinod Khosla." Investment size can range from $100,000 to above $20MM. Khosla continues to work closely with Kleiner Perkins and the firms often co-evaluate and co-invest together.</description><address><address1>2128 Sand Hill Rd</address1><city>Menlo

customers and generate revenue. The group's focus is to connect its companies with prospective partners and key customers so they can build relationships that accelerate the growth of their businesses. KickLabs does not compete with Y Combinator, Tech Stars, Angel Pad, 500 Start Ups or other technology incubator programs. KickLabs is a natural landing pad for companies that may have completed one of these top incubator programs or are establishing a presence in Silicon Valley.

With over $580 million under management, the company is currently investing from its Psilos II fund, focusing on revenue stage and later stage companies. Psilos typically invests between $8-$15 million initially, with an expectation of investing up to $20-$25 million over the life of an investment. Psilos favors companies that have demonstrated strong market demand of their product and have evolved beyond early-stage technological, clinical and regulatory risks. In certain sectors where the value creation opportunity may best be captured earlier, Psilos will invest at the pre-revenue stage. Psilos focuses its investments across healthcare services, healthcare information technology, medical devices, specialty pharmaceuticals and instrumentation. In the healthcare services area, Psilos will invest in companies that can demonstrate an ability to achieve positive cash flow within 12-18 months. In the healthcare IT area, the firm is looking for companies that have had successful beta launches of their products, at a minimum, and will be in the market with production software within 12-18 months. In the medical technology area, Psilos seeks out companies that have meaningful amounts of human clinical data in hand, which have obtained or are close to obtaining FDA approval and are no more than 12-18 months from launch. Psilos has offices in New York, the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Fe, New Mexico.</description><address><address1>21 Tamal Vista Blvd., Suite 194</address1><city>Corte Madera</city><state>CA</state><zip>94925</zip><phone>415-945-7010</phone><fax>415-945-7011</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Best Doctors</name><link>http://www.bestdoctors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caregiver Services</name><link>http://www.csicaregiver.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthEdge</name><link>http://www.healthedge.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VeraLight</name><link>http://www.veralight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Comprehensive Clinical</name><link>http://www.comprehensivecd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Extend Health</name><link>http://www.extendhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SeeChange Health</name><link>http://www.seechangehealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Click4Care</name><link>http://www.click4care.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PatientSafe Solutions</name><link>http://www.patientsafesolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OneShield</name><link>http://www.oneshield.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AngioScore</name><link>http://www.angioscore.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioVentrix</name><link>http://www.bioventrix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Endoscopic Technologies</name><link>http://www.conmed.com/index_EndoTech.php</link></firm><firm><name>Gamma Medica-Ideas</name><link>http://www.gm-ideas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mauna Kea Technologies</name><link>http://www.maunakeatech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OmniGuide Corp.</name><link>http://www.omni-guide.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Al Waxman, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Senior Managing Member</name><email>alwaxman@psilos.com</email></member><member><name>Steve Krupa, Co-Founder and Managing Member</name><email>stevekrupa@psilos.com</email></member><member><name>Amanda Lampert, Assistant Controller</name></member><member><name>Lisa Suennen, Co-Founder, Managing Member</name><email>lisasuennen@psilos.com</email></member><member><name>Joe Riley, Managing Member</name><email>joeriley@psilos.com</email></member><member><name>David A.

The group fosters collaborations among scientific faculty that enhance innovation and discovery. Initiatives include: the Innolab, which manages the consortium's industry partnerships with companies such as Pfizer, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, and Johnson &amp; Johnson; and startup support, which guides researchers from the precommercial stage to efficient operational companies. Startup services include the QB3 Startup in a Box, the organization's standard package designed to take an entrepreneur from an idea to a successful SBIR application; the QB3 Garage/Innovation Network; and the organization's seed-stage venture capital fund, Mission Bay Capital.

Redpoint currently seeks new investment opportunities in southern and northern California for its second fund, Redpoint Ventures II, which is $750 million in size. The firm's current investment focus is primarily in four areas: mobile wireless platforms and applications, consumer Internet services and platforms, enabling technologies for the digital home, and systems and software for the enterprise infrastructure. For the majority of companies, Redpoint invests at the seed stage or in the first round of institutional investment. Redpoint has invested from as little as $100,000 to seed-fund a project, to more than $20 million in larger developing companies. Redpoint's seed program serves entrepreneurs with bold new ideas raising up to $1M in capital. Redpoint typically invests $1M to $10M in early stage companies ranging from concepts to companies with products already in market. Redpoint Growth Fund invests tens of millions of dollars in emerging leaders of rapidly-growing markets. These companies are generating revenue and looking for a partner to help them achieve their explosive growth potential. Redpoint has over $2 billion under management and has participated in 34 IPOs and 54 upside acquisitions. In addition to Silicon Valley, Redpoint maintains offices in Los Angeles and Shanghai.</description><address><address1>11150 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 1200</address1><city>Los Angeles</city><state>CA</state><zip>90025</zip><phone>310-477-7678</phone><fax>310-312-1868</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Calix</name><link>http://www.calix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Danger</name><link>http://www.myspace.com/2emedanger</link></firm><firm><name>Blue Kai</name><link>http://www.azulsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BigBand</name><link>http://www.bigbandnet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Efficient Frontier</name><link>http://www.efrontier.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fanfare</name><link>http://www.fanfaremag.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Heroku</name><link>http://www.heroku.com/</link></firm><firm><name>2tor</name><link>http://2tor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>51.com</name><link>http://www.51.com/</link></firm><firm><name>55social.com</name><link>http://www.55social.com/</link></firm><firm><name>9Flats</name><link>http://www.9flats.com/</link></firm><firm><name>adap.tv</name><link>http://www.adap.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>AMEC</name><link>http://www.amec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avnera</name><link>http://www.avnera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Azul Systems</name><link>http://www.azulsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BetterWorks</name><link>http://www.betterworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BlueFin Labs</name><link>http://www.bluefinlabs.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Tim Haley, Founding Partner</name><email>thaley@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Dyal, Founding Partner</name><email>tdyal@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Jeff Brody, Founding Partner</name><email>jbrody@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Brad Jones, Founding Partner</name><email>bjones@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Satish Dharmaraj, Partner</name><email>satish@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Allen Beasley, Partner</name><email>abeasley@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Chris Moore, Partner</name><email>cmoore@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Vivian Yuan, Partner (Shanghai)</name><email>vyuan@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Scott Raney, Partner</name><email>sraney@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>John Walecka, Founding Partner</name><email>jwalecka@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Geoff Yang, Founding Partner</name><email>gyang@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Pueo Keffer, Principal</name><email>pkeffer@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Nety Krishna, Partner</name><email>nkrishna@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Lars Pedersen, Partner &amp; Chief Financial Officer</name><email>lpederson@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>Tomasz Tunguz, Principal</name><email>ttunguz@redpoint.com</email></member><member><name>David Yuan, Partner (Shanghai)</name><email>dyuan@redpoint.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Sanderling Ventures</name><website>www.sanderling.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1979, Sanderling has supported over 90 biomedical companies from very early stages through commercial development.

Sprout Group was formed in 1969 and has historically been one of the leading venture capital firms in the country. NLV is a leading healthcare technology investor, managing $1 billion in funds, and investments in 49 companies. The firm focuses on 3 sectors: biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and diagnostic/infrastructure technologies. In 2005, the entire healthcare technology team of Sprout spun out into NLV. This team continues to manage the healthcare technology portfolio of the Sprout funds, and in 2005, the team closed on its first directly-managed fund, New Leaf Ventures I, LP, a $310 million healthcare technology-dedicated fund. New Leaf Ventures I focuses on taking leadership positions in financings of later stage biopharmaceuticals; medical devices, generally at early stages; and molecular diagnostics and laboratory infrastructure at a variety of stages including PIPES transactions. NLV prefers to invest in later stage biopharmaceutical products, early stage medical devices, and a variety of stages in molecular diagnostics and laboratory infrastructure technologies. Within biopharmaceuticals, the firm seeks to invest in drug development, clinical trial design, and pharmaceutical markets. In 2007, the team closed on its second fund, New Leaf Ventures II, L.P., a fund also dedicated to healthcare technology, which was capitalized with $450 million of limited partner commitments. The firm has an additional office in New York.</description><address><address1>2500 Sand Hill Road, Suite 203</address1><city>Menlo Park</city><state>CA</state><zip>94025</zip><phone>650-234-2700</phone><fax>650-234-2704</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Affymax</name><link>http://affymax.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TigerText</name><link>http://www.tigertext.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Metabasis</name><link>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/metabasis</link></firm><firm><name>Kalypsys</name><link>http://www.kalypsys.com/home/home03.shtml</link></firm><firm><name>Pearl Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.pearltherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Relypsa</name><link>http://relypsa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Auxilium</name><link>http://www.auxilium.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BioRelix</name><link>http://www.biorelix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sopherion</name><link>http://www.sopherion.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stromedix</name><link>http://www.stromedix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tioga</name><link>http://www.tiogausa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Transcept</name><link>http://www.transcept.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SpineWave</name><link>http://www.spinewave.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spiracur</name><link>http://spiracur.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Oxford Immunotec</name><link>http://www.oxfordimmunotec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Protogenix</name><link>http://proteogenix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Affrent Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.afferentpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Biorelix</name><link>http://www.biorelix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Chimerix</name><link>http://www.chimerix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Concert Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.concertpharma.com/careers/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Converge Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.convergencepharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Durata Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.duratatherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intarcia Therapeutics</name><link>http://intarcia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ista Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.istavision.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kalidex Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=115649601</link></firm><firm><name>Karos</name><link>http://www.karosgame.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nycomed</name><link>http://www.nycomed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Versartis</name><link>http://versartis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Access Closure</name><link>http://www.accessclosure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Altura Medical</name><link>http://alturainc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardioKinetix</name><link>http://cardiokinetix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Direct Flow</name><link>http://www.directflowmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Illuminoss Medical</name><link>http://illuminoss.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intrinsic</name><link>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intrinsic</link></firm><firm><name>Neuronetics</name><link>http://www.neuronetics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NxStage Medical Reshape Medical</name><link>http://www.nlvpartners.com/port_meddev.html</link></firm><firm><name>World Heart</name><link>http://www.worldheart.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Audax health Solutions</name><link>http://www.audaxhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Awarepoint</name><link>http://www.awarepoint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avir</name><link>http://avir.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Epocrates</name><link>http://www.epocrates.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Expression Diagnostics</name><link>http://www.xdx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Glumetrics</name><link>http://www.glumetrics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Irhthym</name><link>http://irhythmtech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Oxford Immunotec</name><link>http://www.oxfordimmunotec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Labcyte</name><link>http://labcyte.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Micoban</name><link>http://www.microban.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Srini Akkaraju, Managing Director</name><email>srini@nlvpartners.com</email></member><member><name>Jeani Delagardelle, Managing Director</name><email>jeani@nlvpartners.com</email></member><member><name>Michael Dybbs, Principal</name><email>mike@nlvpartners.com</email></member><member><name>Kathleen LaPorte, Partner</name><email>kathy@nlvpartners.com</email></member><member><name>Vijay Lathi, Managing Director</name><email>vijay@nlvpartners.com</email></member><member><name>Mark Charest Vice President</name><email>mark@nlvpartners.com </email></member></management></company><company><name>Newbury Ventures</name><website>www.newburyven.com</website><regions><region>Silicon Valley</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp;

The firm is stage-independent, and investments are primarily focused on growth opportunities in clean energy, communications, information technology, internet new media, financial services information technology, healthcare services and consumer retail. In total, Oak has funded more than 500 companies. Oak's average investment size for later-stage and special situation opportunities is between $25 million and $150 million, while early stage investments range between $10 million and $25 million. The current financial and economic conditions present an unusually attractive environment for Oak XIII. The combination of a prolonged closing of the IPO markets and the retrenchment of hedge funds and LBO firms away from financing private growth companies has created a shortage of financial alternatives for world-class growth ventures. Oak XIII will be a beneficiary of this funding dislocation, becoming one of the few top-quality investors for high growth, global technology companies requiring $25 - $150 million equity infusion within its target domains. Oak typically seeks ownership levels of 20% in its portfolio companies. The firm also maintains offices in Westport, CT and Minneapolis.</description><address><address1>525 University Avenue, Suite 1300 </address1><city>Palo

Bow River was founded in 2003 and raised its second fund in late 2006. Total assets under management are approximately $105 million, the bulk of which are capital commitments from high net worth individuals. Bow River takes an opportunistic approach to its investment philosophy by deploying capital into a variety of different industries, including business and consumer services, distribution, private aviation (fixed base operations), financial services, energy, and real estate. Bow River targets lower-middle market companies located in the Western United States and Canada that have proven management, revenues of $10 to $50 million, positive free cash flow in excess of $500,000, and EBITDA of $4 to $10 million with a strong preference toward owner-operated businesses. The firm's typical investment size is $4 million to $7 million (although they have participated in much larger transactions by partnering with other investors) and their target investment horizon is three to seven years. Targeted industries include business and consumer services, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, financial services, energy and real estate. The firm will not consider investments in biotechnology and technology, or business startups.</description><address><address1>1490 Lafayette Street, Suite 400</address1><city>Denver</city><state>CO</state><zip>80218</zip><phone>303-861-8466</phone><fax>303-861-8557</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AUC Group</name><link>http://aucgrouplp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cirque Resources</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=102218926</link></firm><firm><name>Community Bankshares</name><link>http://www.cobnks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gryphon Petroleum</name><link>http://www.hotfrog.ca/Companies/Gryphon-Petroleum</link></firm><firm><name>Holman Boiler Works</name><link>http://holmanboiler.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Magellan Resources</name><link>http://magellanresources.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scollard Energy</name><link>http://scollardenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Talavera-Ralston Ranch</name><link>http://www.privateequityfirms.com/company/11837/Talavera-Ralston-Ranch</link></firm><firm><name>Darian Resources</name><link>http://relieffromdebt.ca/index.php/Darian-Resources-Ltd.-and-Bowview-Petroleum-Inc.html</link></firm><firm><name>Peak Power Engineering</name><link>http://peakpwr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MCC Energy Fund</name><link>(no site)</link></firm><firm><name>Professional Pediatric Home Care</name><link>http://www.pediatrichomecare.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Blair E.

The group was formed to fill a growing need to provide a forum for making seed capital and mentoring available to entrepreneurial companies in the North Bay. North Bay early stage companies present their plans to achieve meaningful business milestones with a capital infusion of $250,000 to $1,000,000. Companies should have the potential of creating 10+ high value jobs. Priority is given to opportunities that are related to telecommunications, software, internet, optics, and medical devices/services because these are areas already established in the North Bay. In addition, other potentially attractive investment opportunities such as real estate development, manufacturing, retail and food/wine projects are considered. </description><address><address1>P.O.

Redpoint currently seeks new investment opportunities in southern and northern California for its second fund, Redpoint Ventures II, which is $750 million in size. The firm's current investment focus is primarily in four areas: mobile wireless platforms and applications, consumer Internet services and platforms, enabling technologies for the digital home, and systems and software for the enterprise infrastructure. For the majority of companies, Redpoint invests at the seed stage or in the first round of institutional investment. Redpoint has invested from as little as $100,000 to seed-fund a project, to more than $20 million in larger developing companies. Redpoint's seed program serves entrepreneurs with bold new ideas raising up to $1M in capital. Redpoint typically invests $1M to $10M in early stage companies ranging from concepts to companies with products already in market. Redpoint Growth Fund invests tens of millions of dollars in emerging leaders of rapidly-growing markets.

It is built around a unique online marketplace that allows accredited investors to become equity holders in FundersClub-managed venture funds, which then fund pre-screened private companies. Each funded FundersClub startup benefits from the capital, the advice, and the professional networks of its associated venture fund investors, but are spared from the overhead of interfacing with a crowd of investors by receiving capital in a traditional venture capital fund format. Investors benefit from greater access to private investment opportunities, a more convenient investment process and the ability to diversify with relatively small amounts of capital. Launched in 2012 by serial entrepreneurs and investors Alex Mittal and Boris Silver, FundersClub aims to create prosperity and transform people's lives by supporting innovation. The company is backed by top angels and VC firms, including: Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, Tim Draper and more.

While all early-stage companies are eligible for the Greenhouse, preference will be given to companies that are focused on alternative or renewable energy - including solar, wind, geothermal, conservation or another energy source.</description><address><address1>520 W.

Frontier is a member-managed, pooled fund - that is, it reviews deals together and then votes to invest pooled capital. A typical group investment is in the range of $100,000 to $200,000. Members have the option of investing from their personal accounts alongside the fund. The primary focus is on companies based in western Montana, Montana, and the inland Pacific Northwest. The fund was founded in 2006 with 33 investors and has total capital in the amount of $1.75 million. Prospective investments should be operating in a market sufficiently large to create a business with a minimum of $30 million in annual revenues within five years with a clear path to profitability. Funding for each investment will not exceed $1 million and management should be experienced in building significant, successful companies, although the management team need not be complete. Frontier's primary investment focus will be on early stage companies, regardless of industry. The fund was organized by RAIN Source Capital, a Minnesota-based network of angel investment funds.</description><address><address1>307 First Street West, Suite 2</address1><city>Polson</city><state>MT</state><zip>59860</zip><phone>406-883-4044</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Social Good Network</name><link>http://www.socialgoodnetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GeoData</name><link>http://www.geodata.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Pacinian</name><link>http://www.pacinian.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Elizabeth Marchi, Fund Coordinator</name><email>liz@frontierangels.com</email></member><member><name>Bob Smith, Chairman</name></member><member><name>Fred Kellogg, Treasurer</name></member><member><name>Charles Grenier, Screening Committee Chairman</name></member><member><name>Bill Payne, Education Committee Chairman</name></member><member><name>Keith Brown, Syndication Committee Chairman</name></member><member><name>Scott Davis, Marketing Committee Chairman</name></member></management></company><company><name>Glacier Venture Fund</name><website>www.glacierventurefund.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry><industry>Agriculture &amp; Agricultural Science</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage></stages><description>Formed in 2006, Glacier Venture Fund's mission is to make equity capital investments in early and development stage entrepreneurial companies with the potential for exceptional profits and superior returns on invested capital. Potential investments should have the potential of making $20 million to $100 million annually, and a strong management team. Glacier does not restrict its investments to any single industry, but prefers industries such as computer software, medical products and applications, alternative energy and other environmentally friendly products, and agricultural products where technological innovations can facilitate market penetration and set the stage for attractive investment exits. Companies should have attractive profit margins, proprietary technology or other barriers to imitation, and established positional advantages in the marketplace that can be reasonably well sustained as the business expands. Glacier seeks companies that require between $500,000 and $2 million in funding. </description><address><address1>40979 Valley View Road</address1><city>Polson</city><state>MT</state><zip>59860</zip><phone>406-883-5470</phone><fax>406-883-5677</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.ligocyte.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Phillips Environmental Products</name><link>http://www.cleanwaste.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kids Up</name><link>http://www.pridemobility.com/quantum/manualwheelchairs/kidsup.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Printingforless.com</name><link>http://www.printingforless.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>John Marchi, Chairman</name><email>jonmarchi@marchiangus.com</email></member><member><name>Alan D.

MCDC successfully manages investments from government and private organizations. More than $5 million is invested in the Revolving Loan Fund, and $1.5 million more in the Montana Fund. MCDC has lent $9 million to over 350 western Montana businesses. The Montana Fund provides flexible capital for rapidly-growing companies. The firm's funds can function as equity for companies that are expanding rapidly in strong markets. The Montana Fund does not take any ownership interest in client companies. Funding of up to $250,000 is structured as an amortized loan with an additional payment that is based on the company's achieved revenue. A typical Montana Fund investee has established sales (usually at least $750,000 per year); a sales growth forecast of 10-20% per year; proven profit margins that will support a revenue-share payment; strong management; and a well-supported written growth strategy.</description><address><address1>229 E.

The group was formed in 1999 to invest in New Mexico-based, high growth potential, early stage and seed companies. NMA is not a venture fund, and it does not make direct investments; it does, however, serve as an intermediary between its members and potential investment opportunities. The group's members make direct investments through the vehicle of NMA. NMA negotiates the terms of the deal, the entrepreneur then agrees to those terms (or negotiates further), and then the members decide to invest (or not). Members typically invest $250,000 to $800,000 and will participate with venture capital firms or corporate strategic partners at a pre-money valuation of less than $5 million. The group has over 75 members.</description><address><address1>One Technology Center</address1><address2>1155 University Boulevard SE</address2><city>Albuquerque</city><state>NM</state><zip>87106</zip><phone>505-843-4206</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Advent Solar</name><link>http://lobo.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Samba</name><link>http://www.samba.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Ztec</name><link>http://www.ztecinstruments.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OneConnectIP</name><link>http://www.oneconnectip.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Exagen Diagnostics</name><link>http://exagen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Smart Systems</name><link>http://smartsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VeraLight</name><link>http://www.veralight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Holochip</name><link>http://holochip.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CoMeT Solutions</name><link>http://cometsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ITTRobotics</name><link>http://www.ri.cmu.edu/</link></firm><firm><name>Strategic Analytics</name><link>http://strategicanalytics.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>John J.

In 1996 the University of Wyoming (UW) Research Office launched the Wyoming SBIR Initiative to encourage participation of Wyoming individuals and small businesses in the SBIR and STTR programs. Initially funded by the National Science Foundation EPSCoR Program as a model for other rural states to emulate, the initiative was immediately successful, and Wyoming small businesses received more SBIR awards in 1996/1997 than in the previous thirteen years combined. As a result of this performance, the 1998 Wyoming legislature authorized the Wyoming Business Council (WBC) to continue funding the program. At the same time, the WBC also sponsored the creation of the unique Wyoming Phase 0 Program, providing up to 24 awards annually of $5,000 each to assist Wyoming small businesses in the preparation of competitive Phase I SBIR/STTR proposals.</description><address><address1>University of Wyoming, Room 163 VocEd Annex</address1><address2>1000 E.

New ventures generally fall into one of three categories: partial buyouts of a business owner with an interest in bringing on a new chief executive to drive growth; full buyouts of business owners ready to retire from a business with stable cash flows and opportunities for growth; carving out joint venture opportunities with mid-sized to larger companies to launch a new product or develop a new market. Where growth capital or financing for recapitalization is needed, Banyan Ventures facilitates each deal separately with various capital partners and deal structures. Typical investments range from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and deals are sourced directly from business owners, private equity funds who pass on opportunities that are too small for their investment thesis, and angel investors looking for a management partner. In general, the companies Banyan Ventures partners with or acquires are located in or near Salt Lake City with revenues between $500K and $10 million, and are at an inflection point in their development.</description><address><address1>343 West 400 South</address1><city>Salt Lake City</city><state>UT</state><zip>84101</zip><phone>801-415-2000</phone><fax>801-415-2001</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>CarbonX</name><link>http://www.carbonx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BelleHavens</name><link>http://www.sherpareport.com/destination-clubs/bellehavens.html</link></firm><firm><name>Metro Ready Mix</name><link>http://www.mrm1.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Metro Waste</name><link>http://metrowasteinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spruce Real Estate</name><link>http://sprucerealestateschool.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MobilityRe</name><link>https://mobilityre.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Palo Verde</name><link>http://www.desertusa.com/mag01/aug/papr/palov.html</link></firm><firm><name>Savvi</name><link>http://www.savviformalwear.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Darin Glison, Partner</name><email>darin@banyanventures.com</email></member><member><name>Tyler Thatcher, Partner</name><email>tyler@banyanventures.com</email></member><member><name>John Dunn, Partner</name><email>john@banyanventures.com</email></member><member><name>Carl Crosser, CFO</name><email>carl@banyanventures.com</email></member><member><name>Scott Jorgensen, Operating Partner</name><email>sjorgensen@banyanventures.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Cherokee and Walker</name><website>www.cherokeeandwalker.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Financial Services</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Cherokee &amp; Walker is a private equity firm looking to acquire or take significant positions in small, high-potential companies.

Through partners and private members that are associated with Grow Utah Ventures, the firm is able to help a wide range of businesses transition from the seed to the early stages of business growth. Grow Utah sponsors, or is part of, many educational events and seminars to help entrepreneurs. Although Grow Utah Ventures originally started as an investment fund, the funding side is now separate and Grow Utah Ventures is no longer invests in startup businesses.

However, the firm also considers investments outside of this region that fit well with its investment strategy. Peterson Ventures doe not specialize in making investments in any particular industry; however, the partners will not typically invest in pure technology startups outside of a defined business model and go-to-market strategy. The firm's typical investment size is between $100,000 and $1,000,000. Early seed investments are more attractive if they include the opportunity to invest in subsequent rounds. Search funds are much smaller bets (~$35k) and Peterson typically invests in 1 unit per fund. The firm also considers small, later-stage companies that have revenues less than $10 million and positive EBITDA. </description><address><address1>2825 E.

Under the guidance of managing director Gavin Christensen, Kickstart was designed to align the incentives between the major players within the local ecosystem to fund local seed-stage companies. Kickstart was founded and backed by these same players: local venture capital, angel investor groups, community-minded corporations, and universities.

Peterson invests in companies and equity needs from $2 million to $20 million that have proven business models and revenues of at least $5 million, and EBITDA in excess of $1.0 million. The firm currently has $300 million under management. Portfolio companies typically have some or all of the following characteristics: proven business models and positive cash flow; talented management; straight-forward competitive strategies; high operating margins that are generally a function of a special value added service, superior brand or advantaged positioning in an embryonic or growing industry; high growth prospects, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition; and potential for improvements in strategy and/or managerial process. Generally the companies Peterson targets have more than $10 million in revenues, are profitable and are at an inflection point in their development. Peterson Partners supports the founder or entrepreneur to continue the company's growth by providing capital, developing strategy, supplementing the management team and eliminating personal guarantees. Peterson has also backed proven business leaders in acquisitions or management-led buyouts of high growth businesses.

RHV was formed in 2010 by its managing director and has funded over a dozen companies. The firm invests a founder-friendly form of capital called Revenue Based Financing (RBF), in which RHV inputs capital into a business without taking any ownership of the company, helping it execute its growth initiatives. As the company generates revenue, RHV is repaid a percentage of the gross revenue (usually between 3-8%). Once the payments have totaled the principle plus an agreed upon multiple (otherwise known as a "cap"), the company has repaid the loan. RHV partners are active investors, taking a personal interest in each of the companies with which it invests. RHV targets companies producing revenue of at least $100k per year, products with high gross margins, companies with detailed plans for growth requiring additional capital, and that are seeking funding of $50k to $250k.</description><address><address1>PO Box 6217</address1><city>North Logan</city><state>UT</state><zip>84341</zip><phone>888-248-2208</phone><fax>888-742-6189</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>GroSocial</name><link>http://www.grosocial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AllDigital</name><link>http://www.alldigital.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Beckett &amp; Robb</name><link>http://www.beckettrobb.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DropShip.com</name><link>http://www.dropship.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BoomStartup</name><link>http://www.boomstartup.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Chris Russell, Managing Director</name></member></management></company><company><name>Salt Lake Life Science Angels (SLLSA)</name><website>www.sllsa.com</website><codes><code>A</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Salt Lake Life Science Angels (SLLSA) is a not-for-profit corporation organized to facilitate investment in seed-stage healthcare and life science companies in Utah and the Mountain West.

The Dixie Angels, launched in January 2005, are federally incorporated as a non-profit organization. The SUDA is a member-led angel group dedicated to improving the investing experience of both the investor and the entrepreneur. The firm provides seed and early-stage capital in the range of $10,000 to $250,000. The group prefers deals that originate in Utah, Nevada or locales contiguous to southwest Utah. Members are entrepreneurs, CEO's, investment bankers, venture capitalists and business leaders who have funded and built world-class companies. SUDA mentors and coaches the entrepreneurs in whom it invests, serves on their boards, provides contacts, and assists with team building, strategic planning and fundraising. SUDA invests in solutions that address major problems for significantly large target markets (i.e. a $100+ million market). A company must demonstrate a strategy to claim significant share of this market (i.e. 20%+). Providing a solution to a problem with a large potential market is essential. SUDA looks for companies that can grow quickly and manage the scale necessary to succeed. </description><address><state>UT</state></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>N/A</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Michael Christensen, Vision Ventures</name><email>mike@visionventurecapital.com</email></member><member><name>Adam Snow, Vision Ventures</name><email>adam@visionventurecapital.com</email></member><member><name>Jill Elliss, USTAR SEED Dixie Manager</name><email>jelliss@dixie.edu</email></member></management></company><company><name>ThinkAtomic, Inc.</name><website>www.thinkatomic.com</website><codes><code>I</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>ThinkAtomic is a high tech incubator, think tank and venture accelerator.

The fund traces its roots to a visit to the University of Utah in 2000 by Geoff Woolley, a venture capitalist who received his M.B.A. from Utah's David Eccles School of Business; he suggested the students start their own venture fund, and several students began raising the seed money. The Fund closed on $5M from institutional and individual investors in 2004, and by 2006, the Fund was managing $18.2M in assets, making it the largest student-run fund by assets under management in the country. Since 2004 the Fund has made more than 20 investments in a diverse number of industries and stages. UVF promotes entrepreneurship by creating a forum of students to be directly involved in venture capital. It is a collaboration between students seeking an entrepreneurial education and professional venture capitalists to search out high tech and consumer trends with potential. Many of the budding businesses they research and back are founded by entrepreneurs the students' age. Students are immersed in an environment that allows them to recognize and act on social and consumer trends, allowing them to identify and connect with potential investments that may otherwise go unnoticed by the venture capital world. </description><address><address1>299 South Main St., Suite 310</address1><city>Salt Lake City</city><state>UT</state><zip>84111</zip><phone>801-326-3590</phone><fax>801-326-3598 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Ancora</name><link>http://www.ancora.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Alianza</name><link>http://alianza.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Achievement</name><link>http://americanachievement.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Barosense</name><link>http://barosense.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catheter Connections</name><link>http://catheterconnections.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coherex Medical</name><link>http://www.coherex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Control4</name><link>http://control4.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CompleteXRM</name><link>http://www.completexrm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Daz3D</name><link>http://www.daz3d.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HandiQuilter</name><link>http://www.handiquilter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Instructure</name><link>http://www.instructure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intelisum</name><link>http://www.intelisum.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Infinera</name><link>http://infinera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lineagen</name><link>http://lineagen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Omniture</name><link>http://www.omniture.com/en/</link></firm><firm><name>Merrimack Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.merrimackpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Socialtext</name><link>http://www.socialtext.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Transpond</name><link>http://social.webtrends.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TrustedID</name><link>https://www.trustedid.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Veritract</name><link>http://veritract.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AtTask</name><link>http://www.attask.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Tom Stringham, Managing Director</name><email>tom@uventurefund.com</email></member><member><name>Peter Harris, Principal</name><email>pharris@uventurefund.com</email></member><member><name>Ryan Davis, CFO</name></member><member><name>Peter Jarman, Advisor</name></member></management></company><company><name>USTAR</name><website>www.innovationutah.com</website><codes><code>ED</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>The Utah Science Technology and Research initiative (USTAR) is a long-term, state-funded investment to strengthen Utah's "knowledge economy." USTAR offers a Technology Commercialization Grant (TCG) program for Utah public regional higher education institutions and associated companies. In an effort to bring innovative new technologies to market, USTAR launched the TCG program in 2009 and conducted three rounds. USTAR also funded The BioInnovations Gateway (BiG), an incubator for emerging biotech and medical device companies, a high-tech training facility for the next generation of bio-innovators, and a contract research resource for Utah's life science industry. USTAR held two new rounds of the Technology Commercialization Grant (TCG) program for Utah public regional higher education institutions and associated companies in FY2011. With a typical award size of $30,000, these grants assist faculty to prototype, test, assess markets, and commercialize new products and services in high-growth markets. Located within the Granite Technical Institute (GTI) at 2500 South State Street in Salt Lake City, BiG will support up to seven resident companies, providing access to state-of-the-art biotech, and biomanufacturing, and engineering design and prototyping equipment. In a unique approach compared to incubators nationally, students work side-by-side resident company staff. </description><address><address1>60 E.

Utah Angels has invested approximately $1.5 million in the last year, with an average investment size of approximately 550 thousand. The members collaborate, but invest individually. Since the late 1990s, UtahAngels has deployed about $100 million in capital in about 100 companies. The group typically invests from $50,000 to $2,000,000 as equity or convertible debt and assists in securing next stage financing from a venture capital firm, from private sources, or from an IPO. An ideal investment for the Utah Angels would be one with relatively low capital need, good management in place, and has a high exit industry (high multiple - 3X sales or better).

In contrast to many venture funds and private equity groups that deploy a "top-down" investment strategy (i.e., focus on specific industries/sectors), Iron Gate Capital exercises "bottom-up" analysis (i.e., company specific) across multiple industries (including hard assets, such as real estate) and investment stages (early, middle, mezzanine, management buyouts, industry rollups, etc.) to seek the best private investment opportunities. The firm targets investments between $750,000 and $5 million as the lead or as a co-investor. Iron Gate does not do "seed" investments.</description><address><address1>363 Centennial Pkwy, Suite 240</address1><city>Louisville</city><state>CO</state><zip>80027</zip><phone>303-395-1335 </phone><fax>303-395-1336 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Construction Software Technologies</name><link>http://isqft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IP Commerce</name><link>http://www.ipcommerce.com/Home.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>MBH Enterprises</name><link>http://www.mbhe.com/our_history.html</link></firm><firm><name>Sacramento Natural Gas Storage</name><link>http://sacnaturalgas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Syncardia Systems</name><link>http://www.syncardia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Smashburger</name><link>http://www.smashburger.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mortgage Opportunity Fund</name><link>http://www.nuveen.com/CEF/FundDetail.aspx?FundCode=JLS</link></firm><firm><name>UN Plaza Associates</name><link>http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/plaza_associates_cmts.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Grease Monkey China</name><link>http://www.greasemonkey.cn/en/</link></firm><firm><name>EWP Development</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/people.asp?privcapId=34213910</link></firm><firm><name>Meritage Energy</name><link>http://meritageenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Blake Street Real Estate Investors</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=79608640</link></firm><firm><name>Encino Energy</name><link>http://www.encinoenergy.com</link></firm><firm><name>CPX Lone TreeHotel</name><link>http://www.irongatecapital.com/portfolio.htm</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Douglas Fahoury, Partner &amp; Managing Director</name><email>dfahoury@irongatecapital.com</email></member><member><name>Steve McConahey, Partner</name></member><member><name>Robert Cohen, Partner</name></member></management></company><company><name>Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, LP</name><website>www.kaynecapital.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry><industry>Real Estate</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors has engaged in alternative investing since its inception in 1984.

Kolohala targets specific technology sectors where Hawaii has a natural advantage, including renewable Energy/CleanTech, life sciences, and ocean sciences. The firm capitalizes on Hawaii's investor tax incentives for technology. Kolohala taps into a broad network of expertise and co-investment opportunities with the Hawaii Angels-one of the most active angel networks in the country.  The Kolohala Venture Fund I, with more than $13 million under management, invests in Qualified High Technology Businesses (QHTBs) in Hawaii to leverage tax advantages. The Fund is now closed to new investments, but has a focus in several market sectors and provides early and follow-on funding opportunities. The Heaven Fund has $4 million under management and focuses on early stage investments.  The Kolohala Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Fund supports the increased use of Hawaii-based renewable energy resources with pathways to using hydrogen as an energy carrier.  The fund is managed on behalf of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) and uses the hydrogen expertise of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI). </description><address><address1>335 Merchant Street, #835</address1><city>Honolulu</city><state>HI</state><zip>96808</zip><phone>808-595-0740</phone><fax>808-546-4325</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Blue Lava</name><link>http://www.bluelavatech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hawaii Biotech</name><link>http://hibiotech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>King Ahi</name><link>http://www.cafepress.com/kingahi</link></firm><firm><name>Pineapple Pictures</name><link>http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/pineapple.html</link></firm><firm><name>TalkStory Productions</name><link>http://www.talk-story.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avatar Reality</name><link>http://www.avatar-reality.com/about/management.html</link></firm><firm><name>Pipeline Micro</name><link>http://pipelinemicro.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Asia Pacific Films.com</name><link>http://www.asiapacificfilms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Atlantis Cyberspace</name><link>http://www.atlantiscyberspace.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cardax</name><link>http://www.cardaxpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sprount</name><link>http://www.sproutonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hawaii Oceanic Technology Inc</name><link>http://www.hioceanictech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Innovasc</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtmlvxp/innovasc-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Kai Medical</name><link>http://kaimedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kuehnle AgroSystems</name><link>http://www.kuehnleagro.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OneMedNet</name><link>http://www.onemednet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>uBoost</name><link>http://www.uboost.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Robert J.

MIC's primary role is to serve as an incubator for new and early-stage technology companies. Tenants of MIC office spaces, which range from 250 to 1000 square feet, enjoy advanced connectivity, state-of-the-art facilities and shared support services such as mail handling. MIC facilitates the growth of technology companies by providing business development services, synergistic and strategic partnerships, networking activities and professional marketing opportunities. The MIC offers occupants mail handling, voice mail and messaging, facsimile, and photocopying services. Incubator occupant candidates should possess the following criteria: a new or emerging registered Hawaii business with a technology-based product or service, key personnel with sufficient knowledge to maintain and advance technology, a reasonable likelihood for growth, legal rights to its technology, and evidence of a clear market opportunity or niche for product. </description><address><address1>2800 Woodlawn Drive, Suite 100</address1><city>Honolulu</city><state>HI</state><zip>96822</zip><phone>808-539-3806</phone><fax>808-539-3795</fax></address><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>Biosoft Energy</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mm0b972/biosoft-energy-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Blue Cliff</name><link>http://bluecliffcollege.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ChipIn</name><link>http://www.chipin.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Concentris Systems</name><link>http://concentris-systems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Island Pacific Energy</name><link>http://islandpacificenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>3D Innovations</name><link>http://www.3dinnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adama Materials</name><link>http://www.adamamaterials.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alaka'i Consulting &amp; Engineering</name><link>http://greenwom.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated</link></firm><firm><name>AsiaPacificFilms.com</name><link>http://asiapacificfilms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ATCO Software</name><link>http://www.atcosoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Autism Training Solutions</name><link>https://www.autismtrainingsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cardax Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.cardaxpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cerebridge</name><link>http://www.caringbridge.org/</link></firm><firm><name>GPNE</name><link>http://gpnecorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ikayzo</name><link>http://www.ikayzo.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tutor Hawaii</name><link>http://tutorhawaii.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WEBfish Pacific</name><link>http://webfishpacific.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Undefeated Games Inc</name><link>http://undefeated.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spectrum Photonics</name><link>http://spectrum-photonics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tapiki</name><link>http://www.tapiki.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Yuka Nagashima, Executive Director, CEO, 808-539-3806</name><email>ceo@htdc.org</email></member><member><name>Sandi Kanemori, Economic Development Specialist, 808-539-3616</name><email>sandi@htdc.org</email></member><member><name>Len Higashi, Senior Economic Development Manager</name><email>len@htdc.org</email></member><member><name>Sandy Park, Economic Development Specialist, 808-539-3794</name><email>sandyp@htdc.org</email></member></management></company><company><name>Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority</name><website>www.nelha.org</website><codes><code>I</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Agriculture &amp; Agricultural Science</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>The Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) is a state agency that operates a unique and innovative ocean science and technology park in Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii. NELHA's assets include office and laboratory facilities, infrastructure, pristine natural resources, and leasable open land for use by tenant research, education, and commercial projects. A dual-temperature seawater system that is the only one of its kind in the world sets NELHA apart from all other technology parks and creates a prime setting for innovation and new industry development in this island coastal setting. NELHA aims to attract tenants who can use the unique complement of natural and logistical resources to engage in successful, productive research, education, and commercial activities that support sustainable industry development in Hawaii. Numerous innovative research projects have been completed at NELHA in the past and spawned new commercial enterprises that are established and successful businesses today. A new federally funded facility, the NELHA Gateway project, will provide a setting for leading edge research and development in distributed energy resources and renewable energy technologies, and a new commercial Ocean Center development that will provide opportunities for new ocean-related businesses. NELHA is funded by allocations from the Hawaii State Legislature and revenues collected from its tenants for use of facilities and services. NELHA is "landlord" to nearly 30 thriving enterprises which generate about $30-40 million per year in total economic impact.</description><address><address1>73-4460 Queen Kaahumanu Hwy. #101</address1><city>Kailua-Kona</city><state>HI</state><zip>96740-2637</zip><phone>808-327-9585</phone><fax>808-327-9586</fax></address><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>Big Island Abalone</name><link>http://bigislandabalone.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cyanotech</name><link>http://www.cyanotech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Destiny Deep Sea Water</name><link>http://destinydeepseawater.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hawaii Deep Marine</name><link>http://www.hawaiideepmarine.com/</link></firm><firm><name>High Health Aquaculture</name><link>http://hihealthshrimp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Indo-Pacific Sea Farms</name><link>http://www.ipsf.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Keahole Solar Power</name><link>http://keaholesolarpower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>King Ocean Farm</name><link>http://www.nelha.org/tenants/commercial.html</link></firm><firm><name>Mera Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.merapharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Moana Technologies</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmlr6mj/moana-technologies-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Ocean Rider</name><link>http://www.oceanrider.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Royal Hawaiian Sea Farms</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmsh6z0/royal-hawaiian-sea-farms-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Savers Holdings</name><link>http://www.hawaiiwaters.com/hawaii-deep-seawater-bottled-water-by-savers-holdings-ltd/</link></firm><firm><name>Shrimp Improvement Systems Hawaii</name><link>http://www.shrimpimprovement.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Troutlodge Marine Farms Kona</name><link>http://www.troutlodge.com/index.cfm?pageID=B21E30D4-3048-7A03-396664E7A7389994</link></firm><firm><name>Kona Coast Shellfish</name><link>http://www.konacoastshellfish.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wavecom Solutions</name><link>http://wavecomsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Verizon Wireless, Hawaii</name><link>http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/storelocator/index.jsp</link></firm><firm><name>Pacific Planktonics</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mmnf3mc/pacific-planktonics</link></firm><firm><name>Cellana</name><link>http://cellana.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team: </name><member><name>John DeLong, Chair</name></member><member><name>Laurence Sombardier, Revenue Specialist</name><email>laurences@nelha.org</email></member><member><name>Brian Goldstein, Vice-Chair</name><email>bgoldstein@konabaymarine.com</email></member><member><name>Ronald N.

The prospective portfolio company should embody: Investment needs in the $500,000 to $5,000,000 range and up to $20,000,000 in certain situations. DTVP's investment policy is guided by diversification by industry, company maturity and geographical area, the vigor of the opportunity, and the strength of the management team. DTVP achieves its strategic objectives through investments in early stage, expansion, and buyout/acquisition situations. Companies that use DTVP's capital for expansion purposes will be favored. Buyout and acquisition candidates should operate in growth industries with stable market environments and should have healthy financial statements. The form as well as the size of the investment must be shaped to meet the goals and objectives of both the company and the investor group. The resulting structure may involve a combination of debt and equity.</description><address><address1>110 West 7th Street, Suite 1000</address1><city>Tulsa</city><state>OK</state><zip>74103-3703</zip><phone>918-584-7272</phone><fax>918-582-3404</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Nationwide Graphics</name><link>http://www.nwas-llc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hydrade</name><link>http://onetenhydrade.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Outlast</name><link>http://www.outlast.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AmPro</name><link>http://amprotools.net/</link></firm><firm><name>EnLink Geoenergy</name><link>http://www.enlinkgeoenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Web TPA</name><link>http://webtpaes.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Barry Davis, Managing General Partner</name><email>bdavis@davistuttle.com</email></member><member><name>Philip A.

MetaFund has 21 investors that are Oklahoma banks and more than 100 non-profit and government-related partners. Banks receive Community Reinvestment Act credit for investments and loans in, to, and through the corporation. MetaFund also is a Collaborative Community Development Merchant Banking Venture Capital Financial Institution (CCDMBVCFI) and an Oklahoma non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation with $10 million in capital. MetaFund makes loans and investments in financially viable projects and companies that provide jobs, housing, or other direct benefits to underserved people or distressed places throughout Oklahoma. Although MetaFund usually partners with banks, it can use investment and venture capital structures that banks cannot use by themselves, such as convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, direct equity investments, and revenue sharing (royalty) agreements. Included in MetaFund's loan/investment portfolio are infill housing, numerous small businesses, and several start-up companies. MetaFund is able to invest in both start-ups as well as entities in a more mature life cycle phase.  Businesses and projects must, however, be both financially viable, and meet MetaFund's mission qualification of providing benefit to underserved demographics or geographies.  </description><address><address1>2225 N.

Ideal products are ones where the company estimates it can take a product from inception to a fully functional prototype, FDA approval and exit on an investment of between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The process begins with an assessment of how a given project fits key elements of the MDI model. When a project meets certain criteria, the company spins the intellectual property out as a new company with a research and development plan for investors to evaluate. Equity is split between Medical Device Innovations, the inventors, experts that are brought in to develop the technology, and the investors. The product is developed to the point where the most advantageous exit can be achieved. The exit strategy is to ultimately sell the developed product to one of the medical device market leaders in a one-time acquisition of assets.</description><address><address1>2200 NE Neff, Suite 204</address1><city>Bend</city><state>OR</state><zip>97701</zip><phone>541-382-2533</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Device Innovation Group</name><link>http://deviceinnovationgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clear Catheter Systems</name><link>http://www.pleuraflow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VenX Medical</name><link>http://www.venxmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearSpec</name><link>http://www.clearspec.com.au/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>John F.

To accomplish this mandate the OIC chose to develop a fund of funds, the Oregon Investment Fund (OIF). This fund, which is capitalized by funds from the OIC, has committed capital to private equity and venture capital funds that in turn invest in companies located primarily in the state of Oregon or the Pacific Northwest region. OIF chooses funds that make investments in venture capital, growth capital or later-stage buyout companies that could ultimately benefit start-up companies coming out of Oregon universities and colleges. In addition, a percentage of the assets of the OIF may be invested directly into operating companies alongside the OIF's private equity and venture capital managers. As of 2011, the OIF has invested $298 million in 44 Oregon and Pacific Northwest companies. The OIC chose Credit Suisse's Customized Fund Investment Group to develop and manage this Fund on a discretionary basis.  Because Oregon possesses identifiable expertise in high technology, microtechnology, advanced textiles, and healthcare, OIF's portfolio includes companies in these sectors.</description><address><address1>c/o Oregon State Treasury</address1><address2>350 Winter Street NE, Suite 100</address2><city>Salem</city><state>OR</state><zip>97301-3896</zip><phone>503-378-4000</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Kryptiq</name><link>http://www.kryptiq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Criterion Holdings</name><link>http://www.standard-holdings.com/index.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Wellpartner</name><link>https://www.wellpartner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Precision Wire Components</name><link>http://pwcwire.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Selmet</name><link>http://selmetinc.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Kelly M.

With over $3.4 billion in assets under management, KSL focuses on acquisitions of historically under-performing or under-capitalized businesses and strives to unlock "hidden value" by re-envisioning and repositioning these enterprises. The firm has recently organized KSL Capital Partners International to focus on opportunities abroad. KSL's strategy involves four-critical elements: (i) expanding each enterprise by enhancing the existing revenue base; (ii) creating new business opportunities; (iii) improving operating efficiencies; and (iv) optimizing the value of associated real estate. While its targeted minimum equity requirement for the fund is $25 million, because of the nature of its portfolio companies, related entities and its desire to grow these businesses, no transaction is too small to execute. The firm has the ability to commit up to $500 million of equity in any one transaction. The firm also maintains an office in New York.</description><address><address1>100 Fillmore Street, Suite 600</address1><city>Denver</city><state>CO</state><zip>80206</zip><phone>720-284-6400</phone><fax>720-284-6401</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Barton Creek Resort &amp; Spa</name><link>http://www.bartoncreek.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClubCorp</name><link>http://www.clubcorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>East West Partners</name><link>http://eastwestpartners.com/</link></firm><firm><name>La Costa Resort and Spa</name><link>http://www.lacosta.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Montelucia Resort &amp; Spa</name><link>http://montelucia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Orion Expedition Cruises</name><link>http://www.orionexpeditions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Royal Palm</name><link>http://www.royalpalmmiamibeach.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Squaw Valley USA</name><link>http://www.squaw.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Homestead</name><link>http://www.thehomestead.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Western Athletic Clubs</name><link>http://www.westernathleticclubs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rancho Las Palmas</name><link>http://www.rancholaspalmas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Belfry</name><link>http://www.thebelfry.co.uk</link></firm><firm><name>The James Royal Palm</name><link>http://www.royalpalmmiamibeach.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Michael S.

We pursue investment opportunities that require between $5 and $15 million of capital to accelerate growth of an existing core business that has a financial profile including: Annual revenue between $3 and $20 million, the majority of which is recurring in nature; and EBITDA positive or a clear path to EBITDA positive status. The firm's flexible investment mandate enables it to craft a financing approach that is appropriate for virtually any situation. Meritage makes both minority and control investments and will consider direct equity financings, recapitalizations, control acquisitions, consolidations, restructurings, spin-outs and management buy-outs. The firm's FastStart Program allows Meritage to capitalize on unique opportunities by investing up to $1 million at the earliest stages of a network-enabled service company's development. </description><address><address1>1675 Larimer Street, Suite 400 </address1><city>Denver</city><state>CO</state><zip>80202</zip><phone>303-352-2040</phone><fax>303-352-2050</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Access Media 3</name><link>http://am3inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Completel Europe</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?capId=103657</link></firm><firm><name>Pipeline Financial Group</name><link>http://www.pipelinetrading.com/</link></firm><firm><name>IP Commerce</name><link>http://www.ipcommerce.com/Home.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>NewPath Networks</name><link>http://www.crowncastle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Diveo Broadband Networks</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=27575</link></firm><firm><name>EdgeConnex</name><link>http://edgeconnex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Masergy Communications</name><link>http://www.masergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NuVox</name><link>https://support.nuvox.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Perlego</name><link>http://perlego.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xspedius Communications</name><link>http://xspedius.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crisp Media</name><link>http://www.crispmedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inflow Group</name><link>http://www.halyard.com/investment.asp?id=7</link></firm><firm><name>Miniweb</name><link>http://www.miniweb.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>Crisp Media</name><link>http://www.crispmedia.com</link></firm><firm><name>Datavail</name><link>http://www.datavail.com</link></firm><firm><name>Digital Fortress</name><link>http://www.dfcolo.com</link></firm><firm><name>MT Digital Media</name><link>http://www.miniweb.tv</link></firm><firm><name>PeakColo</name><link>http://www.peakcolo.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David Solomon, Operating Partner</name></member><member><name>Derek Pilling, Managing Director</name><email>derek@meritagefunds.com</email></member><member><name>Doug Holladay, Operating Partner</name></member><member><name>Jack Tankersley, Founder &amp; Managing Director</name><email>jtankersley@meritagefunds.com</email></member><member><name>Jayme Pokrzywinski, Vice President</name></member><member><name>Jim Allen, Operating Partner</name></member><member><name>Jim Dovey, Operating Partner</name></member><member><name>John Garrett, Managing Director</name><email>jgarrett@meritagefunds.com</email></member><member><name>Laura Beller, Founder &amp; Managing Director</name><email>lbeller@meritagefunds.com</email></member><member><name>Ryan Pollock, Managing Director</name><email>ryanpollock@meritagefunds.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Simonson, Managing Director</name></member></management></company><company><name>Mobius Venture Capital</name><website>www.mobiusvc.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Semiconductor</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Mobius Venture Capital is an early-stage venture capital fund that began investing in 1996.

The two founders have been conceiving, building and leading product development on some of the largest and most revolutionary products Microsoft has ever produced since 1995. Until September 2008, Co-Founder Adam Sheppard, worked in Microsoft CTO, Ray Ozzies' team as Director of Strategic Business Development for Microsoft Live Labs building external partnerships and driving revenue through licensing programs.

The firm considers development-stage companies with exceptional management teams that are targeting emerging markets in sectors in which the partners have experience; however, the primary focus is on companies that are in a later stage of fundraising, typically B or later, and have an established product and/or service that is generating revenue with a reasonable path to profitability.</description><address><address1>4111 East Madison St., #350 </address1><city>Seattle</city><state>WA</state><zip>98112</zip><phone>206-624-2888</phone><fax>206-623-7853</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>LicenseStream</name><link>http://www.licensestream.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TwelveFold Media</name><link>http://www.twelvefold.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jott</name><link>http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/voice-to-text/index.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Elevation Partners</name><link>http://www.elevation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mobliss</name><link>http://www.mobliss.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Screenlife</name><link>http://www.screenlifegames.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hidden City Games</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_City_Games</link></firm><firm><name>CSTV</name><link>http://www.cstv.com/sports/c-ultimate/cs-c-ultimate-body.html</link></firm><firm><name>Withoutabox</name><link>https://www.withoutabox.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Labrador Mobile</name><link>http://www.labradormobile.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BuzzLogic</name><link>http://www.twelvefold.com/splash/</link></firm><firm><name>Howcast</name><link>http://www.howcast.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Plum TV</name><link>http://plumtv.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FlexPlay Technologies</name><link>http://flexplay.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Judy's Book</name><link>http://www.judysbook.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FastChannel</name><link>http://www.dgit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nascar Members Club</name><link>http://www.onmc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cequint</name><link>http://www.cequint.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Chris Ackerley, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Ted Ackerley, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Kim Ackerley Cleworth, Co-Founder and Partner</name></member></management></company><company><name>Acorn Ventures</name><website>www.acornventures.net</website><codes><code>A</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Sports &amp; Entertainment</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Acorn Ventures is a Bellevue, Washington based Angel fund founded by Rufus W.

Managing a fund of funds in this asset class is synergistic and similar in many respects to the approach employed for Absolute Return strategies. BlackRock's Private Capital Strategies team offers commingled investment funds in broadly diversified portfolios. Additionally, specialized funds can be dedicated to specific strategies such as early-stage companies, mature-stage companies and real assets. Real Assets strategies combine a potential to hedge against inflation, associated with holdings such as real estate, timber and energy, with the opportunity to participate in highly inefficient sectors of the capital markets. Separate account capabilities are available for either broad or specialized portfolios.</description><address><address1>601 Union Street </address1><city>Seattle</city><state>WA</state><zip>98101-4059</zip><phone>206-613-6700</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Progreso Financiero</name><link>http://www.progressfin.com/en/</link></firm><firm><name>LS9</name><link>http://ls9.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pelamis Wave Power</name><link>http://www.pelamiswave.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Skygrid</name><link>http://www.skygrid.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>N/A</name></member></management></company><company><name>Blue Point Capital Partners</name><website>www.bluepointcapital.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Blue Point Capital Partners is one of the largest private equity firms domiciled in the Midwest, Pacific Coast and Southeast, with a focus on investments in middle market companies in these regions. The firm currently manages over $800 million in committed capital. In 2000, the entire investment team of Key Equity Capital formed Blue Point Capital Partners, with the support and investment of KeyCorp. Blue Point Capital Partners Fund, LP was closed in mid-2002 with $415 million of investment capital. In 2004, Blue Point Capital established a liaison office in Shanghai, China as a resource to assist its existing and future North American based portfolio companies in evaluating and executing Asian strategies. That same year, Blue Point Capital Partners II was closed with capital commitments of $400 million. Blue Point seeks to invest $10 million to $50 million of equity capital in middle market companies in manufacturing, business services and value-added distribution with a revenue range of $20 million to $200 million that generate earnings before interest and taxes greater than $5 million. While Blue Point Capital does not limit its investment focus to defined industry sectors, it will not focus on investments in real estate, restaurants or retail, nor enter technology, telecommunications or regulated sectors such as healthcare, insurance or financial services. Blue Point will also consider investing less than $10 million of equity in an initial investment when there is a clear strategy to deploy additional capital and increase the investment through internal expansion or add-on acquisitions. Blue Point maintains additional American offices in Charlotte, NC and Cleveland, OH.</description><address><address1>1201 Third Avenue, Suite 3090</address1><city>Seattle</city><state>WA</state><zip>98101</zip><phone>206-332-9200</phone><fax>206-332-9209</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Alco Manufacturing</name><link>http://www.alcomfgcorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Cook and Boardman Group</name><link>http://www.cookandboardman.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WDC Exploration &amp; Wells</name><link>http://www.wdcexploration.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Quality Synthetic Rubber</name><link>http://www.qsr-inc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Lion Brewery</name><link>http://lionbrewery.com/</link></firm><firm><name>JTM Foods</name><link>http://jtmfoodgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LineStar Services</name><link>http://www.linestar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AWP Traffic Safety</name><link>http://www.awptrafficsafety.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Selmet</name><link>http://selmetinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Smith-Cooper</name><link>http://smithcooper.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Mark Morris, Partner</name><email>mmorris@bluepointcapital.com</email></member><member><name>David Given, Partner</name><email>dgiven@bluepointcapital.com</email></member><member><name>Charles Geiger, Senior Associate</name><email>cgeiger@bluepointcapital.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Broadmark Capital</name><website>www.broadmark.com</website><codes><code>MB</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Broadmark Capital is an established, boutique merchant bank that provides financing and management services, and direct investment to help emerging companies grow and create shareholder value.

The firm generally prefers to invest in the "arms merchants" who supply the major combatants of the new economy. More specifically, Cedar Grove's focus is upon early stage electronic business software and services and next generation communication carriers and tools. Founded in 1997, Cedar Grove's typical investment generally ranges from $250 thousand to $2 million, but the firm will also seed and perhaps incubate promising young startups with as little at $50 thousand until a concept is proven. </description><address><address1>1000 Second Avenue, #1200</address1><city>Seattle</city><state>WA</state><zip>98104</zip><phone>206-332-1215</phone><fax>206-332-1201 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Go-Ahead Software</name><link>http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/acquisitions/goahead/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Halfbrain.com</name><link>http://www.halbrain.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Epoch Internet</name><link>http://www.epoch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>nLight</name><link>http://nlight.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Play Networks</name><link>http://www.playnetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Collego</name><link>http://www.broward.edu/index.jsp</link></firm><firm><name>Telephia</name><link>http://www.sfwcap.com/investments/telephia.html</link></firm><firm><name>Loudeye Technologies</name><link>http://www.cedargroveinv.com/portfolio/loudeye.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Planet Recruit</name><link>http://www.planetrecruit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avenue A Media</name><link>http://www.razorfish.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digimine</name><link>http://www.digimine.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Leap Wireless</name><link>http://www.leapwireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sierra Towers</name><link>http://sierratowersales.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Essention</name><link>http://www.mckinstry.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vacationspot.com</name><link>http://vacationspotcom.com/</link></firm><firm><name>xTime</name><link>http://www.xtime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Callvision</name><link>http://callvision-tech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cricket Comm</name><link>http://www.mycricket.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Entricom</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=745898</link></firm><firm><name>Leap Wireless</name><link>http://www.leapwireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Metawave Comm</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=31443</link></firm><firm><name>Solant</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solent</link></firm><firm><name>Greatfood.com</name><link>http://www.greatfood.ie/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Bill Heston, Partner</name><email>bheston@cedargroveinv.com</email></member><member><name>Mark Callaghan, Partner</name><email>mcallaghan@cedargroveinv.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Hughes, Partner</name><email>thughes@cedargroveinv.com</email></member><member><name>Chris Birkland</name><email>cbirkeland@cedargroveinv.com</email></member><member><name>Scott Anderson, Partner</name></member><member><name>Scot Jarvis, Partner</name></member></management></company><company><name>Clear Fir Partners, LP</name><website/><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Financial Services</industry><industry>Defense &amp; Homeland Security</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Clear Fir Partners is a private, early-stage limited partnership, based in Seattle, with a history of early-stage investments in small and growing companies in emerging markets.

The firm's mission is to fund a deliberately diverse portfolio of the most promising high-growth technology, healthcare, and consumer-oriented opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Fluke limits its portfolio size so that its partners can work to actively support the management team of each of its investments. Fluke Partners prefers to invest in later-stage profitable businesses, but enjoys building long-term relationships with successful entrepreneurs at any point, and is interested in meeting them even if initial financing is not in the immediate future. Initial investment size can be as low as $500,000, but the firm typically invests from $2.5 to $4 million per company, inclusive of follow-on rounds of financing.

Integra Ventures seeks to make investments of $.5 million to $2 million in Life Science companies in three principal areas: Drug Development, Medical Devices, and Healthcare Services. This strategy is executed through classic venture investing in seed through A &amp; B rounds and later stage and workout investing through Series C and D rounds of financing, growth equity investments and recapitalizations. Though Integra seeks opportunities on a national basis, the firm focuses on the West coast, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

Intellectual Ventures is an "Invention Capitalist." While venture capitalists and private equity investors typically seek out existing ideas and companies for investment opportunities, IV focuses on funding the creation of new inventions and introducing a variety of new models for monetizing invention as a stand-alone asset. IV conceives and patents inventions from within the firm, invests in the inventions of others, and also partners with select university and research labs. The firm works on a global scale and across more than 30 technology areas including: hardware, software, consumer electronics, digital imaging, medical devices and energy. Strategies will include licensing, spin outs, and joint ventures and are dependent upon the technology, the culture of the specific industry and, most importantly, market timing and opportunity. To date, the firm has raised more than $5 billion. Intellectual Ventures and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) recently announced they have entered into a long-term license agreement. As part of the agreement, SAP will obtain a right to access IV's patent portfolio for defensive use. The firm launched the Intellectual Ventures Laboratory, a 27,500-square-foot facility in Bellevue, Washington, that allows the IV to extend capabilities for advanced research and prototyping to its inventor partners.</description><address><address1>3150 139th Ave. SE, Building 4</address1><city>Bellevue</city><state>WA</state><zip>98005</zip><phone>425-467-2300</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>http://www.na.org/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Nathan Myhrvold, Founder &amp; CEO</name></member><member><name>Edward Jung, Founder &amp; Chief Technology Officer</name></member><member><name>Greg Gorder, Founder &amp; Vice-Chairman</name></member><member><name>Peter Detkin, Founder &amp; Vice-Chairman</name></member></management></company><company><name>InvestAmerica Investment Advisors</name><website>www.investamericaventuregroup.com</website><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>InvestAmerica is a nationally recognized private equity/venture capital investment management group with over 100 cumulative years of fund management experience.

With $370 million in two funds under management, the firm's "Go to Market" investment strategy supports entrepreneurs through two critical execution hurdles facing early and growth stage companies: Developing effective market strategies and building high performance teams.  With offices in Seattle, Portland, and Menlo Park, Voyager focuses on funding first venture rounds in early and growth stage opportunities in the Pacific Northwest and California. In the Pacific Northwest, the firm focuses primarily on the Seattle and Portland markets, although Voyager will consider other opportunities in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. In California, the firm looks for early stage companies where Voyager has strong domain expertise and can leverage the firm's strategic partnerships.</description><address><address1>719 Second Avenue, Suite 1400</address1><city>Seattle</city><state>WA</state><zip>98104</zip><phone>206-438-1800</phone><fax>206-438-1900</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Placecast</name><link>http://placecast.net/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Covario</name><link>http://www.covario.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GoAhead Software</name><link>http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/acquisitions/goahead/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Melodeo</name><link>http://www.nutsie.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tropos Networks</name><link>http://www.tropos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AboutUs</name><link>http://www.aboutus.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Bonanza</name><link>http://www.bonanza.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ChargePoint</name><link>http://chargepoint.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Elemental Technologies</name><link>http://www.elementaltechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kryptiq</name><link>http://www.kryptiq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lighter Capital</name><link>http://www.lightercapital.com/</link></firm><firm><name>nFluence</name><link>http://www.nfluence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Photobucket</name><link>http://photobucket.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sensys</name><link>http://www.sensysnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Act-On Software</name><link>http://www.act-on.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alliance Health Networks</name><link>http://www.alliancehealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Blue Box Group</name><link>https://www.bluebox.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Chirpify</name><link>https://chirpify.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearCare</name><link>http://www.clearcaresolution.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MindSumi</name><link>http://us.misumi-ec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vidder</name><link>http://www.vidder.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WellnessFX</name><link>http://wellnessfx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Yapta</name><link>http://www.yapta.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zebra Imaging</name><link>http://www.zebraimaging.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Daniel Ahn, Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Bill McAleer, Managing Director</name><email>mcaleer@voyagercapital.com</email></member><member><name>Curtis Feeny, Managing Director</name><email>feeny@voyagercapital.com</email></member><member><name>Tom Kippola, Venture Partner</name><email>tkippola@chasmgroup.com</email></member><member><name>Erik Benson, Managing Director</name><email>benson@voyagercapital.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Vulcan Ventures</name><website>www.vulcan.com</website><codes><code>FI</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Sports &amp; Entertainment</industry><industry>Real Estate</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Microsoft Co-Founder, Paul G.

WRF is an independent private foundation whose operational revenue comes from retained funds from licensing and investing activities. WRF Capital manages Washington Research Foundation's (WRF) seed venture fund by creating and investing primarily in technology-based start-up companies that have strong ties to the University of Washington and other non-profit research institutions in Washington State. WRF Capital invests in two types of companies: (1) WRF founded companies in which WRF Capital and an entrepreneur create a business concept and start a company and (2) Non-WRF founded companies in which WRF Capital invests in a company opportunity presented by an entrepreneur. In both cases, WRF Capital actively seeks co-investors, investing up to $2 million in the firm's portfolio companies with proceeds from investments used to make financial gifts to Washington State research institutions.

Rutt Bridges invests in innovative businesses and the fund is managed by a team of student associates and advisors from the Bard Center Advisory Council. The fund provides initial startup capital and the possibility of up to one additional round of funding for eligible companies. The typical deal uses a convertible debt structure and the fund participates in the ongoing growth of these young ventures.

Primary sector businesses can secure up to $300,000 in financial assistance through the North Dakota Development Fund, an innovative economic development program created by the North Dakota Legislature in 1991. The Development Fund is administered through the North Dakota Department of Commerce. The Development Fund provides "gap" financing not available from other, more traditional sources.  Funds are available through direct loans, participation loans, subordinated debt and equity investments.

Historically, the TCIP statute only permitted grants to Utah universities, however, in 2007 the Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law, changes to the TCIP statute that now permits grants to companies who license technology developed at Utah's colleges and universities, including startups as well as existing companies who plan to create a new product or product line from the licensed technology. Beginning in fiscal year 2010-11 the Technology Commercialization &amp; Innovation Program is piloting a "lighter, smaller, faster model" and will issue solicitations for smaller grant amounts, 3 times per year instead of the traditional one-time annual solicitation.</description><address><address1>Governors Office of Economic Development</address1><address2>324 S.

Functions of CSURF include patent and licensing management; equipment leasing and municipal lease administration; financing of equipment, real estate and buildings through mortgage debt obligation(s); and land acquisition, development and management. Colorado State University Research Foundation's (CSURF) focus is to take technology from a university laboratory to a point where a commercial partner may be interested. In order to address the capital side of the equation, CSURF Commercial Opportunity Investment Program (COIP) was established by the CSURF Board of Trustees by unanimous vote in 2004. The purpose of COIP is to provide monetary support to increase the probability for commercial success of promising and commercially viable technologies. The fund only invests in companies and persons affiliated with the university.</description><address><address1>P.O.

The group provides mentorship and seed funding of up to $18,000 to ten qualified companies. At the end of the program, each company also has the opportunity to pitch during an investor event organized by TechStars. In exchange for TechStars' summer program and seed funding, the company receives a 6% equity stake in new companies. TechStar usually invests in technology oriented companies, typically web-based or software. The firm also considers non-technology based companies as long as they can have national or worldwide reach. Specifically, TechStars doesn't fund medical device companies, biotechnology companies, restaurants, consultancies, or other local service oriented companies. TechStars runs this program in Boston, Boulder, New York and Seattle. Boston and New York operate in the Spring, Boulder operates in the Summer, and Seattle in the Fall. </description><address><address1>1050 Walnut St.</address1><city>Boulder</city><state>CO</state><zip>80302</zip><phone>303-593-1826 </phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Orbotix</name><link>http://www.orbotix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vacation Rental Partner</name><link>http://vacationrentalpartner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ADstruc</name><link>http://adstruc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StatsMix</name><link>http://www.statsmix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Omniar</name><link>http://www.crunchbase.com/company/omniar</link></firm><firm><name>RentMonitor</name><link>http://www.rentmonitor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RoundPegg</name><link>http://www.roundpegg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ScriptPad</name><link>http://scriptpad.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Spot Influence</name><link>http://www.spotinfluence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BlipSnips</name><link>http://blipsnip.it/</link></firm><firm><name>Kapost</name><link>http://kapost.com/</link></firm><firm><name>27 Perry</name><link>http://www.27perry.com</link></firm><firm><name>Birdbox</name><link>http://www.birdbox.com</link></firm><firm><name>Creative Brain Studios</name><link>http://www.creativebrain.com/games</link></firm><firm><name>Epic Playground</name><link>http://www.epicplayground.com</link></firm><firm><name>FanMix</name><link>http://www.fanmix.com</link></firm><firm><name>Flextrip</name><link>http://www.flextrip.com</link></firm><firm><name>FlixMaster</name><link>http://www.flixmaster.com</link></firm><firm><name>Intense Debate</name><link>http://www.intensedetabe.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David G.

TSI is implementing a strategy where TSI acts as a liaison between the universities and local businesses. TSI seeks to identify opportunities to license technologies from the universities into expanding or new companies in the region. The group has access to the Economic Development Set-Aside (EDSA) Program, which creates low-interest loans for undeveloped areas. The maximum incentive level from this program is $500,000 for a project which creates or retains jobs. A business seeking assistance must meet certain wage thresholds. Applications are evaluated based upon the number of jobs created; both public and private matching funds; the level of need by the business; and the impact of the project on the local economy and the State of Iowa. Three fund drives over the past ten years have raised nearly $9 million dollars from Sioux City metro communities and corporations to support the programs and staffing of TSI. The Siouxland Initiative provides the following services to companies looking to expand: research, consulting, loans, and incentive packages.  </description><address><address1>101 Pierce St. </address1><city>Sioux City</city><state>IA</state><zip>51101</zip><phone>712-255-7903</phone><fax>712-258-7578</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>http://www.na.org/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Debi Durham, President, Siouxland Chamber of Commerce</name><email>ddurham@siouxlandchamber.com</email></member><member><name>Christopher J.

Founded in 1992, the firm has grown to include offices in Missouri, New York, Texas, Florida, Mississippi and Washington, D.C., with affiliated offices in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut and Wisconsin. The firm is focused on state and federal economic development initiatives that bring businesses, technologies and jobs to communities that need them. The programs in which Advantage Capital has participated have facilitated the flow of billions of dollars of investment capital into states and communities underserved by traditional venture capital. The firm makes investments at all stages except the seed round and typical initial investments range from $500,000 to $2 million. Larger investments are possible and usually are staged over time based on pre-set milestones or subsequent financing events. Occasionally, smaller investments are made depending on the stage of the investment. The firm can provide both growth equity and mezzanine debt capital to companies through various structures. Advantage Capital Partners and its small business lending division, BizCapital, provided $41 million of New Markets program financing throughout the state of Louisiana during 2009. The firm recently announced it has been awarded an $80 million allocation in the highly competitive federal New Markets Tax Credit program. This latest allocation brings the firm's total awards since the program began in 2002 to $524 million. Through prior state and federal New Markets program allocations, Advantage Capital has invested more than $650 million in private capital into 147 businesses, which, in the aggregate, employ more than 8,000 people and have attracted more than $900 million in follow-on capital to support their growth.</description><address><address1>909 Poydras Street, Suite 2230</address1><city>New Orleans</city><state>LA</state><zip>70112</zip><phone>504-522-4850</phone><fax>504-522-4950</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AVSmoot</name><link>http://avsmoot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ableplanet</name><link>http://www.ableplanet.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adventure Central</name><link>http://www.adventurecentral.com/travel/AdventureCentral/Landing.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>ArcMail Technology</name><link>http://arcmail.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bizzuka</name><link>http://www.bizzuka.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Broadpoint</name><link>http://www.broadpointinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Carbolytic Material</name><link>http://carbolytic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FleetCor Technologies</name><link>http://fleetcor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Caradax Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.cardaxpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cellectar</name><link>http://www.novelos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Computime</name><link>http://www.computimeonline.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Guild.com</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild</link></firm><firm><name>Indeeco</name><link>http://www.indeeco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Jahabow</name><link>http://jahabow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kereos</name><link>http://www.kereos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lawrence Group</name><link>http://www.thelawrencegroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Life Life Academy</name><link>http://www.life-academy.co.uk/</link></firm><firm><name>Manna Pro Products</name><link>http://www.mannapro.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mason Manufacturing</name><link>http://masonmfg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mezmeriz</name><link>http://mezmeriz.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mid America Brick</name><link>http://www.midamericabrick.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Monarch Machine Tool</name><link>http://monarchmt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Motion Computing</name><link>http://www.motioncomputing.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nanopoint</name><link>http://www.nanopointimaging.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NeuWave Medical</name><link>http://neuwavemedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>New England Linen Supply Company</name><link>http://www.newenglandlinen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NovaTract Surgical</name><link>http://novatract.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novelos Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.novelos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pasteuria Bioscience</name><link>http://pasteuriabio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Portico Learning Solutions</name><link>http://www.porticolearning.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Producers' Choice Soy Energy</name><link>http://www.moberlymonitor.com/news/x1581986753/Producers-Choice-progressing</link></firm><firm><name>Quality Wood Products</name><link>http://qualitywoodproducts.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Quickoffice</name><link>http://www.quickoffice.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Renaissance Financial</name><link>http://www.renaissancefinancial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rucker's Wholesale &amp; Service</name><link>http://www.yelp.com/biz/ruckers-wholesale-and-service-co-bridgeport</link></firm><firm><name>Selltis</name><link>http://www.selltis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Soft Switching Technologies</name><link>http://www.softswitch.com/sst/index.do</link></firm><firm><name>3DR</name><link>http://3drinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AgencyQ</name><link>http://www.agencyq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BinOptics</name><link>http://binoptics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Butler's Pantry</name><link>http://www.ehow.com/how_2146711_build-butlers-pantry.html</link></firm><firm><name>CheckPoint</name><link>http://www.checkpoint.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stout</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout</link></firm><firm><name>Skyline Innovations</name><link>http://www.skylineinnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SoftSwitching</name><link>http://www.softswitch.com/sst/index.do</link></firm><firm><name>Xiolink</name><link>http://www.xiolink.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zadspace</name><link>http://zadspace.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Charles H.

The partners of BVM Capital manage two investment funds: Louisiana Ventures, LP and TVP (Themelios Venture Partners). Louisiana Ventures is a generalist fund as far as industry preference, and invests opportunistically in high growth equity opportunities. In contrast, TVP is focused on life science opportunities from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the world's leader in diabetes, nutrition and obesity research. TVP will also invest in companies outside of the Pennington Center that run clinical trials or conduct research collaborations with the Center, thus, diversifying TVP's investment mix.

The firm does not manage a fund, but prefers to invest its own capital and to partner with institutional investors. 2nd Generation has grown portfolio companies from concept to successful exits, typically through acquisition by a larger entity. These transactions have ranged from roughly $2mm to over $60mm for the equity at the time of exit. 2nd Generation has acted in primary operational management roles in several of its portfolio companies. The firm's current portfolio includes a healthcare services company with annual revenues of over $50 million (which started as a white paper concept by one of our staff) and a specialty manufacturing concern with annual revenues in the $10 million range. 2nd Generation has an additional office in Tennessee.</description><address><address1>101 N.

Evermore seeks to identify mature companies well positioned for recapitalization through a combination of equity and debt. While the firm's primary focus is to invest in companies based in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee, Evermore is not opposed to co-investment opportunities with proven venture partners in other parts of the country. Evermore makes initial investments between $250,000 and $500,000 and the firm targets two to three investments per year. The firm does not make investments in start-up companies and prefers mid-stage venture to later stage growth companies, management buyouts, corporate spin-offs, and recapitalizations. </description><address><address1>Anchorage Crossings</address1><address2>11405 Park Rd., Suite 180</address2><city>Anchorage</city><state>KY</state><zip>40223</zip><phone>502-292-2393</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>WazooSports.com</name><link>http://wazoosports.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Captive Indoor Media</name><link>http://www.captiveindoormedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Learning House</name><link>http://www.learninghouse.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Indigo Olive Software</name><link>http://indigoolive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stonestreet One</name><link>http://www.stonestreetone.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Armand</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand_(The_Vampire_Chronicles)</link></firm><firm><name>Amedica</name><link>http://amedica.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tier 1 Performance Solutions</name><link>http://www.tier1performance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bradmer Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.bradmerpharma.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Dean Holland, Managing Member</name><email>dholland@morrland.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Humana Ventures</name><website>www.humanaventures.com</website><codes><code>FOF</code><code>CVC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Humana Ventures is the venture capital investing operation of Humana Inc., one of the nation's largest, publicly traded, managed health care companies.

Its partners include successful serial entrepreneurs and experienced corporate managers, who may serve as the interim CEOs or operating chairmen of a number of the companies formed. While Elm Street Ventures expects to be co-founders of companies in some circumstances, the firm is also interested in hearing from entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers who have already formed or plan to form new ventures in the life sciences. Elm Street Ventures' investments range from several hundred thousand dollars to $1 million or more, with substantial capital reserved for follow-on investments.

It is intended to utilize experienced professional fund managers to increase the probability of successful investments and the success of recipient companies. The firm's maximum investment is $1,000,000 per fund. The Board of Directors of the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) approved a new rule to govern the newly created Maine New Markets Capital Investment Program. The Maine New Markets Capital Investment Program provides refundable state tax credits of up to 39% to investors in qualified community development entities (CDEs) that reinvest in certain businesses in eligible low-income communities in Maine. The program is modeled after the federal New Markets Tax Credit Program, and is administered by the Finance Authority of Maine, in cooperation with Maine Revenue Services and the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.  As of January 28, 2013, the program statutory limit of $30 million has been reached.  Absent future legislative action, FAME will be unable to process applications or issue tax credits. FAME will not award any further credits at this time, even if investments have already been made.</description><address><address1>Finance Authority of Maine (FAME)</address1><address2>5 Community Drive, P.O.

Each week, teams will meet with advisers that will offer feedback on the concepts, ideas and prototypes, as well as provide valuable insight into how to scale a company, deal with obstacles along the way, and how to manage large scale adoption when it comes. The final two weeks of the program will be spent honing team pitches as participants present to and receive feedback from experienced entrepreneurs and investors. During the Demo Day event, Betaspring teams present their company to investors. Betaspring will also provide teams with a small amount of seed capital (up to $20,000) free legal counsel, incorporation filing, and other legal work necessary to make startups investable at a scale. Additionally, teams have access to Betaspring HQ, a fully-equipped workspace for participants and the other teams to get together to meet, share ideas and work on their companies. Teams that choose to remain in Providence for 12 months after completing the program are eligible for a $50,000 equity investment from the city of Providence.  Since 2009, Betaspring has accelerated 57 companies and alumni have raised $20M in follow-on funding. </description><address><address1>95 Chestnut, Third Floor</address1><city>Providence</city><state>RI</state><zip>02903</zip><phone>401-400-2382</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>DiJiPOP</name><link>http://dijipop.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Manpacks</name><link>http://www.manpacks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NuLabel Technologies</name><link>http://www.nulabeltechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SensibleSelf</name><link>http://sensibleselfstorage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tracelytics</name><link>http://www.tracelytics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Accelereach</name><link>http://www.accelereach.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catapulter</name><link>http://www.catapulter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Diavibe</name><link>http://www.myspace.com/diavibe</link></firm><firm><name>Jobzle</name><link>http://jobzle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tu.nr</name><link>http://tu.nr/</link></firm><firm><name>Periscape</name><link>http://www.periscape.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DataBraid</name><link>http://databraid.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Leotus</name><link>http://www.lotuscars.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Autobike</name><link>http://evolvethebike.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fitted Fashion</name><link>http://www.fittedfashion.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BuildingLayer</name><link>http://buildinglayer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AutoShag</name><link>http://autoswag.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nest4Less</name><link>http://www.nest4less.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inhabi</name><link>http://inhabi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mosec</name><link>http://mosec.sourceforge.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Revenizer</name><link>http://revenizer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Studyegg</name><link>http://www.studyegg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Touchbase</name><link>http://www.touchbaseglobal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zoko</name><link>http://www.zokos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Translate Abroad</name><link>http://www.translateabroad.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tracelytics</name><link>http://www.tracelytics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GreenGoose</name><link>http://www.greengoose.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Feed My Future</name><link>http://feedmyfuture.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Crunchbutton</name><link>http://www.crunchbutton.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Umbie Dental Care</name><link>https://umbiedentalcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Splitwise</name><link>http://splitwise.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sproutel</name><link>http://sproutel.com/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>TennisHub</name><link>http://tennishub.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Thumbs Up</name><link>http://thumbsupdiner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prepmatic</name><link>http://www.prepmatic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StudyEgg</name><link>http://www.studyegg.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Allan Tear, Co-Founder &amp; Managing Partner</name><email>atear@betaspring.com</email></member><member><name>Owen Johnson, Co-Founder &amp; Managing Partner</name><email>owen@betaspring.com</email></member><member><name>Jack Templin, Co-Founder &amp; Partner</name><email>jtemplin@betaspring.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Cherrystone Angel Group</name><website>www.cherrystoneangelgroup.com</website><codes><code>A</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Cherrystone Angel Group, founded in 2004 with more than 50 members, is Rhode Island's first organized angel investment group.

Sixty-six women-led ventures have applied for angel funding with 17 companies moving forward for investor presentations. To date, three companies have received funding. WCC has two primary objectives: 1) To present high return on investment funding opportunities to its members; 2) To facilitate access to early-stage financing for high-potential women led businesses and entrepreneurs. WBC provides access to capital, education, and resources to women entrepreneurs at every stage of business development through business counseling, seminars, classes, &amp; workshops, networking and mentoring. In operation since July 2000, Kansas Women's Business Center is a resource community designed to help women entrepreneurs grow their business by developing, consulting and mentoring women entrepreneurs at all stages of their business. WCC will consider firms with the following criteria: early stage companies that offer exceptional opportunities for high returns on investment, an opportunity with the potential for rapid, scalable growth, proprietary technology, early market lead, or other strong barriers to entry, a credible exit strategy, and a location within a 150-mile radius of Kansas City. </description><address><address1>c/o Kansas Womens Business Center</address1><address2>8527 Bluejacket St.</address2><city>Lenexa</city><state>KS</state><zip>66214</zip><phone>913-492-5922</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Matrix Electronic Measuring</name><link>http://thematrixwand.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Dorothy Browning</name><email>dbrowning@kansaswbc.com</email></member><member><name>Sherry Turner, Executive Director</name><email>sturner@kansaswbc.com</email></member><member><name>Kelly Pruneau, Network Manager</name><email>kpruneau@kansaswbc.com</email></member><member><name>Rania Anderson, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Victoria Barnard, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Carol Hallquist, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Cheri Streeter, Co-Founder</name></member></management></company><company><name>Rock River Capital, LLC</name><website>http://gust.com/angel-group/rock-river-capital</website><codes><code>A</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>Founded in 2005, Rock River Capital is an angel investment group located in Rock Rapids, Iowa.

In 2009, the AoA launched a $4.4 million Seed Fund which it invests alongside its members.

Originally founded as the Oklahoma Technology Development Corporation in September 1997, i2E operates several programs. Since 1998, hundreds of innovative Oklahoma entrepreneurs have secured make-or-break financing through the Technology Business Finance Program (TBFP), a state-funded program that has been recognized both nationally and internationally as a model of best practices. The program is funded by the state legislature to specifically address early stage capital needs of technology-based businesses. Over $15 million in funding from i2E's Concept Fund and the Oklahoma Seed Capital Fund has helped Oklahoma companies attract more than $440 million in subsequent investment. Created in 2007, Oklahoma Seed Capital Fund (OSCF) is a venture capital fund that provides seed and start-up stage equity financing to small, technology-based Oklahoma companies. OSCF looks and operates like a conventional venture fund with the specific goal of furthering economic activity and success in the state by bridging the early stage funding gap between personal sources and traditional sources of venture capital. Concept investments typically range from $50,000 to $200,000 and require participating co-investors.  Seed investments are typically less than $500,000 and also require co-investors. Recently, a collaboration among i2E, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Treasury Department has created three investment funds totaling $13.2 million.  This $13.2 million initiative is being launched under the name Accelerate Oklahoma! and includes the StartOK Accelerator Fund, aimed to accelerate emerging growth businesses showing potential for new products to market and increase private capital; the Oklahoma Angel Sidecar Fund, which will invest alongside angel groups and investors in innovative startups; and the GrowOK Fund that will target later stage companies in need of capital for expansion.  i2E expects the three funds to attract up to $130 million in follow-on private capital in Oklahoma companies that receive investment through Accelerate Oklahoma!</description><address><address1>Presbyterian Health Foundation Research Park</address1><address2>840 Research Parkway, Suite 250</address2><city>Oklahoma City</city><state>OK</state><zip>73104</zip><phone>405-235-2305</phone><fax>405-235-2252</fax></address><altaddress><name>(Tulsa Office)</name><address1>618 E.

Today, BVP manages more than $4 billion of venture capital invested in over 130 companies.

Due to the widening gap in the capital markets, there is a shortage of funding available at the seed stage ($250K-$5M). This funding gap represents a great opportunity for investment in companies and the group provides $100K to $2M for companies with substantial growth potential. AIF is not a fund; Investment members collaborate on due diligence, but make individual investment decisions (under common valuation and terms). The typical company the group looks at is raising between $750K and $1.5 Million. Members typically put in between $150K and $350K as a group. The individual investment is typically $25,000 but ranges from $10,000 (if the deal permits) to $100,000. The group's investment criteria includes: a clearly articulated market position, management team with a demonstrated track record, clear intellectual property strategy, defensible competitive position in an emerging or growth market, and an exit strategy for investors within 3-5 years. </description><address><address1>200 Main Street</address1><city>Bristol</city><state>CT</state><zip>06010</zip><phone>860-314-2101</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>TracerPix</name><link>http://targetphoto.tracerpix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Autotether</name><link>http://www.autotether.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SchoolChapters</name><link>https://www.schoolchapters.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hadapt</name><link>http://hadapt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>innRoad</name><link>http://www.innroad.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sustainable Real Estate Manager</name><link>http://www.srmnetwork.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RuMe</name><link>http://www.myrume.com/default.aspx?PK=ac3c3702-0750-4284-94ac-af2c412c63d8</link></firm><firm><name>SocialGenius</name><link>http://easysocialgenius.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>John Seiffer, President, 203-775-6676</name><email>john@betterceo.com</email></member><member><name>Joe DeMartino, Deal Flow Coordinator, 860-659-5855</name><email>jdemartino@gmail.com</email></member><member><name>Scott Nevins, Membership Coordinator</name><email>scott.nevins@bernstein.com</email></member><member><name>Cindy Scoville, Administrative Assistant</name></member></management></company><company><name>Hartford Ventures</name><website>www.thehartford.com/ventures</website><codes><code>CVC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Financial Services</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Expansion</stage></stages><description>Hartford Ventures is the strategic investment group of The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.

To date, VIMAC investments have led to the creation of over 20 successful companies that continue to generate business innovations in IT, communications, and Internet technologies. These investments today account for over $2 billion in market value. The fund seeks to make about five new investments each year. A new investment typically goes into a Series A or Series B round with adequate reserves to support subsequent funding until the company exits via a trade sale or an IPO. Over its lifetime, a company is likely to receive $5 million to $15 million from the fund. The firm's most recent IT fund, VIMAC I.T. II, is fully invested and VIMAC will soon begin investing from VIMAC I.T. III, which will concentrate its investments in three sectors of information technology: Software and Services, Wireless and Networks, and New Materials and Media. The life sciences team makes investments from the VIMAC Milestone Medica Fund in early stage biotechnology and medical device companies. VIMAC typically begins with an investment of $1 million to $3 million in a Series A or B round, and takes an active lead position. In general, VIMAC expects to participate in 2-4 rounds of investment. VIMAC only invests in companies that require less than $30 million in combined investments to become profitable.</description><address><address1>177 Milk Street</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02109</zip><phone>617-350-9800</phone><fax>617-350-9899</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>SeniorLink</name><link>http://seniorlink.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TKS</name><link>http://www.tkscable.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Atlantis Components</name><link>http://www.atlantiscomp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Combinent</name><link>http://www.combinent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Signiant</name><link>http://www.signiant.com/signiant-news-and-press-releases/bid/46196/Signiant-Provides-Seamless-Connection-to-the-Windows-Azure-Platform</link></firm><firm><name>Spectalis</name><link>http://www.vimac.com/spectalis.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Neotropix</name><link>http://www.neotropix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NeoEdge Networks</name><link>http://www.bluenoodle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Natural Convergence</name><link>http://www.broadviewnet.com/BVN/Default.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Nakina Systems</name><link>http://nakinasystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Adherex</name><link>http://adherex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Aerogel</name><link>http://americanaerogel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Convergence Corporation</name><link>http://convergecorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Datacom Wireless</name><link>http://datacom.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Evergreen Solar</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_Solar</link></firm><firm><name>Faxnet</name><link>http://www.faxnet1.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Half.com</name><link>http://www.half.ebay.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iMPath Networks</name><link>http://impathnetworks.com/en/home/default.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Infonautics</name><link>http://www.infonautics.ch/</link></firm><firm><name>Kubi Software</name><link>http://www.kubisoftware.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Quack.com</name><link>http://quackwatch.org/</link></firm><firm><name>WatchPoint Media</name><link>http://www.breakpointmedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WaveSmith Networks</name><link>http://www.ciena.com/corporate/news-events/press-releases/CIENA-Announces-HSR-Clearance-of-Acquisition-of-WaveSmith-Networks-Inc.html</link></firm><firm><name>AngioChem</name><link>http://angiochem.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mimetogen</name><link>http://www.mimetogen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rapid Micro Biosystems</name><link>http://www.rapidmicrobio.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>IT Investment Team:</name><member><name>Robert C.

Venture Well is part of the National Collegiate Inventors &amp; Innovators Alliance, a non-profit founded and supported by The Lemelson Foundation. VentureWell works with college and university researchers and innovators (students, post-docs, faculty) doing research that can be translated to commercial innovations in the sectors of Global Health, Sustainable Materials and Energy Efficiency. Successful applicants to VentureWell Advisory Services participate in a rigorous, tailored and hands-on process to transform research ideas into a fundable and commercially viable venture. From acceptance to presenting to investors is a 3-6 month process, with the timeframe dependent upon the particular research or innovation and the venture team. In 2009 VentureWell accepted nine ventures, providing them with venture development support. From time to time VentureWell makes direct seed investments along with other angel investors. VentureWell typically invests $20,000 per deal, investing funds through VentureWell, LLC with profits going back to the 501c3 NCIIA to support its educational mission. The next VentureWell program is being conducted in partnership with Village Capital, with whom VentureWell co-invests.</description><address><address1>c/o NCIIA</address1><address2>100 Venture Way, 3rd Floor</address2><city>Hadley</city><state>MA</state><zip>01035</zip><phone>413-587-2172</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Therapeutic Systems</name><link>http://therapeuticsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Whole Tree</name><link>http://wholetreeinc.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Joseph Steig, Director</name><email>joseph@venturewell.org</email></member><member><name>Judith C.

Since 2000, Bill has focused on helping entrepreneurs through mentoring, angel investments, and as a long-time trustee of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council. Co-Flow Investing, LLC is Warner's entity for direct investing in early stage entrepreneurs. This is for Warner's personal investments and he does not have outside investors. Warner prefers investments of about $25,000, and generally likes to be the very first money into the company. Warner is willing (and even prefers) investing so early that the only traction is in the entrepreneur's head. He chooses his investments based mainly on the entrepreneur, and not on the details of the idea. Warner is also an investor and mentor with TechStars Boston (see profile). He also operates an Accelerator inside the Cambridge Innovation Center (see profile). The Anything Goes Accelerator Lab, will not take equity in the startups it admits, and it will not evaluate candidates based on business plans. Warner said starting this fall, the program's 80-or-so so slots will be filled by founder teams that show potential. Each will pay $350 a month for three months to get office space in the CIC's co-working environment, access to tools developed by Warner and colleagues, and a network of informal mentors. </description><address><address1>c/o Cambridge Innovation Center</address1><address2>1 Broadway, 4th Floor </address2><city>Cambridge</city><state>MA</state><zip>02142</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Sparkcloud</name><link>http://sparkcloud.newgrounds.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Bill Warner, Founder</name></member></management></company><company><name>Watermill Group</name><website>www.watermill.com</website><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Transportation &amp; Distribution</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1978, Watermill Group is a private buyout group focusing on acquiring middle-market (&lt;$40-500M sales) companies in transition based in the U.S. and Canada.

Both are co-chairs of the Entrepreneurship Working Group of the Tech Hub Collaborative. The group's mission is to identify, enable, and mentor the next generation of technology entrepreneurs to launch 12 new companies. Participants will create twelve teams comprised of one CEO, one VC, and one 'next generation' entrepreneur to launch 12 new businesses. CEOs will contribute their unused ideas for the next great company, recognizing that many of the best ideas come from senior executives and ongoing exposure in the most innovative sectors of the Mass Tech Hub. VCs will assist in recruitment, strategy, and procurement of limited early round financing.</description><address><address1>c/o Massachusetts Technology Collaborative</address1><address2>75 North Drive</address2><city>Westborough</city><state>MA</state><zip>01581</zip></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>LighterLiving</name><link>http://www.lighterliving.com/default.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Clovr Media</name><link>http://clovrmedia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Harvest Automation</name><link>http://harvestautomation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Insight Squared</name><link>http://www.insightsquared.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novophage</name><link>http://www.novophage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Daily Break</name><link>http://www.dailybreak.com</link></firm><firm><name>Apptegic</name><link>http://www.apptegic.com</link></firm><firm><name>Boundless Learning</name><link>http://www.boundlesslearning.com</link></firm><firm><name>Cloze</name><link>http://www.cloze.com</link></firm><firm><name>Custom Made</name><link>http://www.custommade.com</link></firm><firm><name>Directr</name><link>http://www.directr.com</link></firm><firm><name>Kibits</name><link>http://www.kibits.com</link></firm><firm><name>Linkable Networks</name><link>http://www.linkablenetworks.com</link></firm><firm><name>MustBin</name><link>http://www.mustbin.com</link></firm><firm><name>Olejo</name><link>http://www.olejostores.com</link></firm><firm><name>On the Spot Systems</name><link>http://www.surveyonthespot.com</link></firm><firm><name>Predilytics</name><link>http://www.predilytics.com</link></firm><firm><name>Sample6 Technologies</name><link>http://www.sample6tech.com</link></firm><firm><name>Shareaholic</name><link>http://www.shareaholic.com</link></firm><firm><name>Silver Lining Systems</name><link>http://www.silverliningsystems.com</link></firm><firm><name>Smart Lunches</name><link>http://www.smartlunches.com</link></firm><firm><name>WireOver</name><link>http://www.wireover.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Michael Greeley</name></member><member><name>Andy Ory</name></member><member><name>Scott Savitz</name></member></management></company><company><name>5AM Ventures</name><website>www.5amventures.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>5AM Ventures makes seed and early-stage investments in next-generation life science companies.

Salix Ventures manages two venture capital partnerships with more than $180 million of committed capital. Salix is a national investor focused on investing in and supporting the best management teams and companies, regardless of location. On average, the firm invests $5-7 million per company, and typically invests half of that amount in the first round of funding, with similar amounts reserved for future private financing rounds. The firm is stage-agnostic, investing in companies seeking their first round of institutional venture capital as well as more mature companies seeking later-stage rounds. Salix does not make seed-stage investments, requiring that the companies in which it invests have some operational base already in place in an industry with a demonstrated proof of concept. The firm has a second office in Nashville.</description><address><address1>300 Brickstone Square, Suite 504</address1><city>Andover</city><state>MA</state><zip>01810</zip><phone>978-470-2500</phone><fax>615-665-2912</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Vantage Oncology</name><link>http://www.vantageoncology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Habit Management</name><link>http://www.habitopco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aethon</name><link>http://www.aethon.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novologix</name><link>http://www.novologix.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Prism Education Group</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=10795763</link></firm><firm><name>U.S. Renal Care</name><link>http://www.usrenalcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vericare</name><link>http://vericare.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Chris Grant, General Partner (Massachusetts)</name><email>cgrant@salixventures.com</email></member><member><name>David Ward, General Partner (Andover)</name><email>dward@salixventures.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Saturn Partners</name><website>www.saturnasset.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Founded in 1994, Saturn is a Boston-based venture capital and private equity firm primarily financing seed and early stage private companies that are focused on electronic commerce, digital media, life sciences, and telecommunications.

The Foley venture fund was designed to make the investment process simple. For venture funds, Foley invests $100,000 side-by-side with the fund's investment in a portfolio company, so long as the fund meets the following key requirements: the fund is a client and the portfolio company is projected to have adequate cash flow after the investment for at least one year. For startups or emerging companies, Foley will invest $100,000 if the startup meets the following key requirements: they are a client, and the company receives a simultaneous investment from a professionally managed venture fund; and Foley's investment, together with the venture fund's investment, is projected to provide adequate cash flow for at least one year. When the investment is made by an angel fund, Foley Ventures may invest $50,000, subject to similar requirements as above.</description><address><address1>c/o Foley &amp; Lardner</address1><address2>111 Huntington Avenue, Suite 2600</address2><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02199-7610</zip><phone>617-342-4000</phone><fax>617-342-4001</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Shine Medical</name><link>http://shinemed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kids Sports Entertainment</name><link>http://www.kidica.com/kids-entertainment/kids-activities/youth-sports.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Kythera Biopharmaceuticals</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=23928419</link></firm><firm><name>StudyBlue</name><link>http://www.studyblue.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Burrow Construction</name><link>http://www.burrowconstruction.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Gabor Garai, Partner, Chair Private Equity &amp; Venture Capital Practice</name><email>ggarai@foley.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Founder Collective</name><website>http://foundercollective.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>Founder Collective is a seed-stage venture capital fund, built by a collection of successful entrepreneurs.

RVL is focused on technologies developed within the Partners system by the investigators and clinicians at any Partners entity.

The group's focus is on early stage life science and healthcare companies looking to raise $250K to $3.0M. Depending on the amount of funding needed, MA2 can fund all or a portion of the round and will work closely with other angel groups or venture funds in the area to complete the round. The group is looking for companies that are extremely capital efficient opportunities where its funds will lead to significant step-ups in valuation to avoid unfavorable future funding rounds. MA2's target is a 5x return within 5 years. The group will consider investments in companies in medical devices, therapeutics, diagnostics, health services, health related IT, and healthcare-relevant laboratory instruments. The group's investment is targeted to be between $200,000 and $750,000. The fund was launched by Richard Anders, a long time Boston-area entrepreneur, publisher, and financier.</description><address><state>MA</state></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Avaxia Biologics</name><link>http://www.avaxiabiologics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Daktari Diagnostics</name><link>http://www.daktaridx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sage Science</name><link>http://www.sagescience.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Life Image</name><link>http://www.lifeimage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Momelan Technologies</name><link>http://momelan.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Thermalin Diabetes</name><link>http://www.thermalin.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Polytouch Medical</name><link>http://www.polytouch-med.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lantos Technologies</name><link>http://www.lantostechnologies.com/technology/</link></firm><firm><name>Bliss Healthcare</name><link>http://www.blisshealthcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Annovation BioPharma</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=132942767</link></firm><firm><name>Diffinity Genomics</name><link>http://www.diffinitygenomics.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Richard Anders, Co-Founder and Executive Director</name><email>info@massmedangels.com</email></member><member><name>Carl Berke, Co-Founder and Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Roger Kitterman, Co-Founder and Managing Director</name></member><member><name>Pushwaz Virk, Co-Founder</name></member><member><name>Richard Berenson, Director</name></member></management></company><company><name>Massachusetts Capital Resource Company</name><website>www.masscapital.com</website><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><stages><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Massachusetts Capital Resource Company invests in established emerging growth and middle market companies in Massachusetts.

Allied Minds is capitalized and owned by international investors. It is not a manager of funds, and it earns its return on its ability to select and support worthwhile investments. The company invests in early stage opportunities based upon university research derived intellectual property (IP). The firm places no restrictions on the product, industry or service it will consider investing in. Allied is not sector specific and intends to build as diversified a portfolio as possible. However, all its investments will be early stage. Initially, Allied Mind's geographic investment focus will be the U.S., but depending on opportunities this could be expanded to a global network of partners and investments.</description><address><address1>33 Arch Street</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02110</zip><phone>617-419-1800 </phone><fax>617-419-1813</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>BAlogix</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/ba-logix</link></firm><firm><name>Cryoxtraxt</name><link>http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/79969-33-ultra-mega-xtra-xtremely-xtreme</link></firm><firm><name>Illumasonix</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=38683609</link></firm><firm><name>SaltCheck</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=30440988</link></firm><firm><name>Purtein</name><link>http://www.purtein.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sound Cure</name><link>http://www.soundcure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Spin Transfer</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_transfer</link></firm><firm><name>Allied Minds Devices</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Biotectix</name><link>http://www.biotectix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cephalogics</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/cephalogics</link></firm><firm><name>Precision Biopsy</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/precision-biopsy</link></firm><firm><name>ProGDerm</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=114439619</link></firm><firm><name>RF Biocidics</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/rf-biocidics</link></firm><firm><name>SciFluor</name><link>http://www.scifluor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SiEnergy Systems</name><link>http://alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/sienergy-systems</link></firm><firm><name>Broadcast Routing Fountains</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/broadcast-routing-fountains</link></firm><firm><name>LuxCath</name><link>http://www.alliedminds.com/subsidiaries/luxcath</link></firm><firm><name>Optio Labs</name><link>http://www.optiolabs.com</link></firm><firm><name>PAR Works</name><link>http://www.parworks.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Mark Pritchard, President and Founder</name><email>mark.pritchard@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>Christopher Silva, Chief Executive Officer</name><email>chris.silva@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>Marc Eichenberger, Chief Operating Officer</name><email>marc.eichenberger@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>Vincent Chun, Vice President</name><email>vincent.chun@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>John Serafini, Vice President</name></member><member><name>Jeff Caputo, Director</name></member><member><name>Roger Yang, Director</name><email>roger.yang@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>Omar Amirana, Managing Director</name><email>omar@alliedminds.com</email></member><member><name>Sara Toussaint, External Relations</name></member><member><name>Thomas Sharpe, Senior Advisor</name><email>thomas.sharpe@alliedminds.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Alta Communications</name><website>www.altacomm.com</website><codes><code>VC</code><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Sports &amp; Entertainment</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Formed in late 1996 as part of a transition of Burr, Egan Deleage &amp; Co., Alta Communications has over 20 years of experience in the media, telecommunications and Internet industries, and has participated in more than 150 rounds of funding with over 100 portfolio companies.

ATP founds the companies in which it invests, committing capital to participate as a major investor in all financing rounds. ATP executives are deeply involved with the ATP portfolio, serving as acting CEOs, COOs, CSOs and Board or Executive Chairmen. With this active investment approach, ATP has created one of the top IRRs in the life sciences venture industry. The firm currently manages three venture capital funds with committed capital totaling $235 million. ATP intends to devote the entirety of its third fund, ATP III, capitalized currently at $100 million, to create a start-up pharmaceutical company. The goal is to combine the pragmatism of venture-backed company creation with the sophistication and resources of pharmaceutical R&amp;D organizations. To facilitate this project, ATP is working with one of its offshore limited partners who has committed an additional $200 million to the pharmaceutical company start-up endeavor; these funds are being reserved for late-stage development, and for asset acquisition, once the initial pipeline is in place. Assets in-licensed to create the ATP III portfolio will be developed by the firm's in-house, wholly-owned pharmaceuticals research and development contract research organization, Apple Tree Pharmaceuticals, Inc.</description><address><address1>One Broadway, 14th Floor</address1><city>Cambridge</city><state>MA</state><zip>02142</zip><phone>617-401-2100</phone><fax>347-952-3430</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Gloucester Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.gloucesterpharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aileron Therapeutics</name><link>http://aileronrx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HeartWare</name><link>http://www.heartware.com.au/</link></firm><firm><name>Tokai Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://tokaipharma.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Seth Harrison, MD, Managing General Partner</name><email>seth@appletreepartners.com</email></member><member><name>Joseph A.

Arctaris targets companies seeking $1-5 million, or up to $50 million through syndication. Potential portfolio companies should have at least $5 million in annual revenues and be cash-flow positive; companies in underserved or rural markets are desirable but not mandatory. Artcaris utilizes the TIGRcub security (an acronym for Top-line Income Generation Rights Certificates), which enables a company to raise capital that is not dilutive to current shareholders. In exchange for a cash investment, investors are repaid monthly an agreed upon fixed percentage of the company's top-line [GAAP] gross revenue. The TIGRcub is attractive for growing companies, as its underlying obligation is a function of the company's ability to repay it rather than a fixed schedule of monthly cash payments, as are typical of debt obligations, and can leave the company short of cash.

Today, BVP has offices in New York, Silicon Valley, Boston, Mumbai and Herzliya, Israel and manages more than $2 billion of venture capital invested in more than 130 companies located around the world. The firm focuses its investments in Cleantech, Cloud Computing, Data Security, Financial Services, Healthcare, India Opportunities, Israel Opportunities, and Online Retail. Generally, Bessemer leads the first institutional round of equity in its portfolio companies with investments that range from $4 to $10 million. At times the firm will participate in a later round of funding, and occasionally will make very small seed stage investments of under $1 million, or incubate companies in its offices.</description><address><address1>196 Broadway, 2nd Floor</address1><city>Cambridge</city><state>MA</state><zip>02139</zip><phone>617-588-1700 </phone><fax>617-588-1701 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>P-Com</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Com</link></firm><firm><name>Pirus Networks</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?capId=126014</link></firm><firm><name>BlueNile</name><link>http://www.bluenile.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MashLogic</name><link>http://www.mashlogic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OpenCandy</name><link>http://www.opencandy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>StorWize</name><link>http://www.crunchbase.com/company/storwize</link></firm><firm><name>Enforta</name><link>http://en.enforta.ru/company/</link></firm><firm><name>2tor</name><link>http://2tor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AccuVein</name><link>http://www.accuvein.com/</link></firm><firm><name>adap.tv</name><link>http://www.adap.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>Apperian</name><link>http://www.apperian.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Clean Max Energy Solutions</name><link>http://www.bvp.com/Portfolio/Clean-Max-Energy-Solutions.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>DocuSign</name><link>http://www.docusign.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fiverr</name><link>http://fiverr.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fractyl Laboratories</name><link>http://www.generalcatalyst.com/companies/fractyl-laboratories</link></firm><firm><name>Hadapt</name><link>http://www.hadapt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intucell</name><link>http://intucellsystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MyHeritage</name><link>http://www.myheritage.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Simply Measured</name><link>http://simplymeasured.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Health Essentials</name><link>http://healthessentials.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Xtime</name><link>http://www.xtime.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Thinking Phone Networks</name><link>http://thinkingphones.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Twitch</name><link>http://www.twitch.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>Zapier</name><link>https://zapier.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearSlide</name><link>http://clearslide.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ravello</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravello</link></firm><firm><name>42 Floors</name><link>http://42floors.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Christopher Gabrieli, Senior Partner</name><email>chris@bvp.com</email></member><member><name>Felda Hardymon, Senior Partner</name><email>felda@bvp.com</email></member><member><name>Stephen Kraus, Partner</name><email>steve@bvp.com</email></member><member><name>Mackey Craven</name></member><member><name>Kent Bennett, Vice President</name></member><member><name>Ambar Bhattacharyya, Senior Associate</name><email>ambar@bvp..com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Bio*One Capital</name><website>www.edbi.com/index.aspx</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Bio*One Capital, the investment arm of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), is a leading investment management company for biomedical sciences in Asia.

Outcome Capital was formed when WWC Securities expanded its traditional technology and services practice with a new team focused on the life sciences and healthcare industry. The new life sciences and healthcare practice group is located in the firm's new Boston office. The principals of Outcome Capital seek to make investments in growth businesses in the information technology, business services, and financial services markets. Outcome Capital does not directly invest in private companies; however, several of its principals are active investors. Several of the owners of Outcome Capital formed and operate three funds: WWC Capital Fund, LP; WWC Capital Fund II, LP; and WWC Capital Fund II-A, LP. Although the capital from these three funds have been fully allocated, the owners of Outcome Capital continue to make investments in private companies with their own capital individually, and are sometimes part of a syndicate with other accredited and institutional investors.</description><address><address1>80 William St., Suite 250</address1><city>Wellesley</city><state>MA</state><zip>02481</zip><phone>703-225-1500</phone><fax>703-225-1515</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AWS Convergence Technologies</name><link>http://www.aws.com/advertising/default.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Sentori</name><link>http://www.sentori.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lighthammer</name><link>http://www.lighthammer.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AllTrust Networks</name><link>http://alltrustnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>BrightDoor Systems</name><link>http://brightdoor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DoublePositive</name><link>http://www.doublepositive.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Earth Networks</name><link>http://www.earthnetworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Genesis Financial Solutions</name><link>http://www.gfscustomers.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Preferred Systems Solutions</name><link>http://www.pssfed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RFID Global Solution</name><link>http://rfidglobalsolution.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Saylent Technologies</name><link>http://www.saylent.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Social Solutions</name><link>http://www.socialsolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Catalyst IT Services</name><link>http://www.catalystitservices.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jonathan R.

The firm's capital base exceeds over $700 million and its limited partners include investors from a dozen countries. The majority of the firm's investments are in early rounds, however Boston Millenia invests in companies at various stages of development, from the first round of institutional funding to later stage expansion opportunities. The firm seeks to invest up to $15 million in any single portfolio company. Typical first round investments range from $3 million to $10 million, with follow-on financings often doubling the original capital commitment. In select cases, Boston Millennia has made initial investments of as little as $1 million with the expectation that the fund will significantly increase its investment through later commitments. The firm invests throughout the U.S. and Canada but has a preference for companies located in the eastern U.S. Within the past twenty years, core companies in the firm's portfolio have completed over 160 strategic acquisitions.</description><address><address1>30 Rowes Wharf, Suite 500</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02110</zip><phone>617-428-5150</phone><fax>617-428-5160</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Athenix</name><link>http://athenixbody.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bright Horizons</name><link>http://www.brighthorizons.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Concentrix</name><link>http://www.concentrix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>iParty</name><link>http://www.iparty.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Arthrosurface</name><link>http://www.arthrosurface.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardioMEMS</name><link>http://www.cardiomems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nextel</name><link>http://www.sprint.com/index_n.html?brand=Nextel</link></firm><firm><name>Novalar</name><link>http://www.novalar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Galt Associates</name><link>http://galtandassociatesllc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eMed Technologies</name><link>http://emedtechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedAptus</name><link>http://medaptus.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coapt Systems</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2015297</link></firm><firm><name>Collegium</name><link>http://collegiumcharter.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EpiGenesis Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=28180</link></firm><firm><name>EPIX Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIX_Pharmaceuticals_Inc</link></firm><firm><name>Galt Associates</name><link>http://galtandassociatesllc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GlycoFi</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2031218</link></firm><firm><name>Histogenics</name><link>http://www.histogenics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ILEX</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly</link></firm><firm><name>MedAptus</name><link>http://medaptus.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Medical Management of New England</name><link>http://nemmg.com/?page=Testimonials</link></firm><firm><name>Zalicus</name><link>http://www.zalicus.com</link></firm><firm><name>MedSpan</name><link>http://www.medspanresearch.com</link></firm><firm><name>Novalar Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://www.</link></firm><firm><name>Parexel International</name><link>http://www.parexel.com</link></firm><firm><name>PHT</name><link>http://www.phtcorp.com</link></firm><firm><name>Proteome</name><link>http://www.proteomescience.com</link></firm><firm><name>Tektagen</name><link>http://www.tektagen.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>A.

In 2008, the trust of the Leducq Foundation created a new company, Broadview Ventures, to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical benefit in cardiovascular and neurovascular disease through targeted investment in support of early stage technology. Although associated with the Leducq Foundation, with which it shares an overlap of mission and philosophy, BV is constituted as an independent, for-profit venture philanthropy corporation. Profits from this company must be used for further targeted investment through Broadview Ventures, or for Leducq Foundation grant funding. Broadview Ventures is designed to help overcome the problem of the so called "translation gap," where very early stage companies find that their research is too advanced for traditional academic funding, but not sufficiently developed to attract conventional venture capital investment. As of 2009, Broadview Ventures had invested in percutaneous valve replacement and micro-RNA technology.</description><address><address1>125 High Street, 9th Floor</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02110</zip><phone>617-457-5944</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Capricor</name><link>http://capricor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>miRagen</name><link>http://www.miragentherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VentriNova</name><link>http://inknowvation.com/node/18414</link></firm><firm><name>Cellaegis Devices</name><link>http://cellaegisdevices.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardiAQ Valve Technologies</name><link>http://cardiaq.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Allosteros Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtb9zgn/allosteros-therapeutics-inc</link></firm><firm><name>CellAegis Devices</name><link>http://cellaegisdevices.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardiaLen</name><link>http://cardialen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NuPulse</name><link>http://ezmilking.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Infobionic</name><link>http://www.infobionic.com</link></firm><firm><name>VGS</name><link>http://vgs.spartanstores.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DecImmune Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.decimmune.cmo</link></firm><firm><name>Provasculon</name><link>http://www.provasculon.com</link></firm><firm><name>Aggamin Biologics</name><link>http://www.biospace.com/job_view.aspx?JOB_ID=274531</link></firm><firm><name>Apama Medical</name><link>http://www.apamamedical.com</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Jessica Harrington, MD, MBA</name><email>jharrington@broadviewventures.org</email></member><member><name>Christopher H.

Brookside Equity Partners is not a fund. The firm invests its own capital and Brookside's investment horizons are determined by the needs of the businesses in which it invests, rather than predetermined by outside limited partners. In addition to directly sponsoring leveraged buyouts, Brookside Equity Partners will also invest with other investment firms in both majority and minority positions. Brookside makes control equity investments in companies with revenue of at least $15 million and EBITDA of at least $3 million (up to $25 million). Brookside does not have a specific industry focus, but generally invests in manufacturing, business services, media and consumer businesses. Brookside has experience in a broad range of industries including, but not limited to: Plastics, Food, Specialty building products, Publishing, Specialty chemicals, and Specialty manufacturing. The firm typically avoids private equity investments in early stage businesses, turn around situations, and high technology businesses. While Brookside has experience investing in Europe and Asia, the firm currently focuses on businesses headquartered in North America.</description><address><address1>101 Federal Street, 19th Floor</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02110</zip><phone>617-261-8500</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Dimex</name><link>http://dimexcorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MainStreet Media Group</name><link>http://www.mainstreetmg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ultra Aluminum Manufacturing</name><link>http://www.ultrafence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ampex</name><link>http://ampex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>American Furniture Manufacturing</name><link>http://americanfurn.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Compression Polymers Group</name><link>http://www.vycomplastics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Geneva Ingredients</name><link>http://genevasprings.com/ingredients.htm</link></firm><firm><name>McKenzie Sports Products</name><link>http://www.mckenziesp.com/Default.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>P&amp;M Color Workshop</name><link>http://www.drtoy.com/2002_b/best2002_72.html</link></firm><firm><name>Precix</name><link>http://precixinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wicks Broadcast Properties</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=710073</link></firm><firm><name>Seal Industries</name><link>http://www.seal-industries.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David D.

Funding initiatives are provided by the Ignition Award and Launch Award. The Ignition Award was initiated by OTD to help bridge the gap between government-funded research in basic science and the product development work performed either by commercial or non-profit entities. The program is currently accepting proposals directed towards Healthcare, Communications, Clean Energy, and Social Entrepreneurship. The Launch Award is designed to help Boston University faculty members start new companies based on technologies that they invented at the University. Another initiative, the Centers for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI), is a newly created, entrepreneurial research unit at Pfizer. The center has established a collaboration with Boston University to translate novel biologic discoveries into testable clinical hypotheses leading to accelerated proof of mechanism in human subjects. Boston University faculty working on projects that may lead to new biologic therapies (i.e., proteins, antibodies, peptides, etc.) may apply for funding.  In addition to funding, OTD provides several other services including Business Incubation, Patent Filing, Licensing, and Mentorship. </description><address><address1>53 Bay State Road</address1><city>Boston</city><state>MA</state><zip>02215</zip><phone>617-353-4550 </phone><fax>617-353-6141</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Block MEMS</name><link>http://www.blockeng.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cyber Materials</name><link>http://cyber-materials.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Entra Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://springleaftx.com/</link></firm><firm><name>First Founders</name><link>http://firstfounders.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Lumenz</name><link>http://www.lumenz.com.tw/contents/products.htm</link></firm><firm><name>MassDevice</name><link>http://www.massdevice.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zoiray Technologies</name><link>http://zoiray.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AcuityBio</name><link>http://acuitybio.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Michael Pratt, Executive Director, Business Development</name><email>mpratt@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Vinit Nijhawan, Managing Director</name><email>vinit@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Beverly Brown, Director of Development</name><email>babrown@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Nelson Medeiros, Director, Business Development, Medical Devices &amp; Instrumentation</name><email>nelson1@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Renuka Babu, Director, Business Development, New Ventures</name><email>rbabu@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>April Effort, Director, Business Development, Therapeutics</name><email>aeffort@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Jonathan Jensen, MBA, CLP Director, Business Development, IT, Software &amp; Media, 617-358-3795</name><email>jjensen@bu.edu</email></member><member><name>Brian D.

The partners will consider companies at the earliest stages in areas such as Communications &amp; Technology (Broadband, wireless and enabling chip technologies); Enterprise Software &amp; Services (Opportunities enabled by the Open Source movement); and Media &amp; Entertainment (New products &amp; services enabled by the pervasive digital infrastructure). Historically, more than half of CRV's investments have been to companies with 0-9 employees. The partners don't require a complete management team (in order to consider investing), since CRV often helps in building one. CRV's initial investment can be as small as $25,000, or as large as $5 million, and expects to invest between $3 and $20 million over the lifetime of a project.</description><address><address1>One

The Virtual Incubator is a community for science &amp; business, an interdisciplinary center promoting commercial application of science and technology developed at Brandeis. The Virtual Incubator's activities are four-fold, designed to foster entrepreneurial activities within the Brandeis community: educational opportunities to help develop entrepreneurship skills; mentoring by experienced, successful, Brandeis friendly entrepreneurs; networking events with industry and introductions into the local venture community; and Sprout Grant Seed Funds to move selected Brandeis inventions from the lab to the marketplace. The Brandeis Virtual Incubator Sprout Grant Program is designed to provide initial funds required to "step-up" Brandeis technology and make it more attractive for licensing and commercial development. The program provides financial help for that "next experiment" to prove the technology's real commercial worth. A total of $50,000 in Sprout Grants will be awarded during the Spring 2013 Award Round. Most grants will be in $5,000, $10,000 or $20,000 amounts depending funds required and on the merits of the application received.</description><address><address1>Brandeis University, Office of Technology Licensing</address1><address2>Rosenstiel, Room 106, MS 115, 415 South Street</address2><city>Waltham</city><state>MA</state><zip>02453</zip><phone>781-736-2128</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Zen.do</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo</link></firm><firm><name>Dexela</name><link>http://dexela.com/</link></firm><firm><name>TranXenoGen</name><link>http://www.tranxenogen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Archemix</name><link>http://archemix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Syntonix Pharmaceutical</name><link>http://www.biogenidechemophilia.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Irene Abrams, Executive Director of the Office of Technology Licensing</name><email>iabrams@brandeis.edu</email></member><member><name>Christine Taft Ph.D., Licensing Associate</name></member><member><name>Diane Walsh, Department Coordinator</name><email>dpwalsh@brandeis.edu</email></member></management></company><company><name>Maxwell Biotech Venture Fund</name><website>www.maxwellbiotech.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Medical Device</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Maxwell Biotech Venture Fund is the first Russian venture fund fully dedicated to investments in the life sciences sector.

CSE engages in collaborative research and development with private companies, government entities, and academic institutions, performing research that broadly benefits firms, industries, and society. Founded in 2008 and supported by the Massachusetts state government, the CSE is part of an international research network spearheaded by Germany's Fraunhofer Society, Europe's largest contract R&amp;D organization. Fraunhofer TechBridge supports the commercialization of early-stage clean energy technologies by providing R&amp;D services, by connecting innovators with experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and strategic partners; and by forging connections with a network of incubators. Demonstration and evaluation (pilot study) awards will be available to select applicants to accelerate the process of utility adoption of technologies including smart grid technology areas such as: transmission and distribution, demand response, and power electronics. One initiative, U-Launch, provides awards of cash and in-kind services to innovative clean technology startups. Selected companies can be granted a combination of R&amp;D services, business development mentorship and physical incubation space, based on needs assessment. In conjunction with Fraunhofer Ventures in Munich, Germany, the TechBridge staff works to aid in the U.S. commercialization and licensing of Fraunhofer-developed clean energy technologies within regional markets.</description><address><address1>25 First Street</address1><city>Cambridge</city><state>MA</state><zip>02141</zip><phone>617-575-7250</phone><fax>617-588-0618</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Dynamo Micropower</name><link>http://dynamo-micropower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FirstFuel Software</name><link>http://firstfuel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Retroficiency</name><link>http://www.retroficiency.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Simple Energy</name><link>http://utilities.simpleenergy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>WegoWise</name><link>https://www.wegowise.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NBD Nanotechnologies</name><link>http://www.nbdnano.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Coincident</name><link>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coincident</link></firm><firm><name>Cambrian Innovation</name><link>http://cambrianinnovation.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Radiator Labs</name><link>http://www.radiatorlabs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Artic Sand</name><link>http://masschallenge.org/profile/team/arctic-sand</link></firm><firm><name>ByteLight</name><link>http://www.bytelight.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Qado Energy</name><link>http://qadoenergy.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Nolan Browne, Managing Director</name><email>nol@fraunhofer.org</email></member><member><name>Dr. Christian Hoepfner, Scientific Director</name></member><member><name>Dr. William Hartman, Advisor</name></member><member><name>Dr. Eicke Weber, Advisor</name></member><member><name>Jeff McAulay, Program Manager</name><email>jmcaulay@fraunhofer.org</email></member></management></company><company><name>WindSail Capital Group, LLC</name><website>www.windsailcapital.com</website><codes><code>VC</code><code>VD</code></codes><industries><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage><stage>Growth</stage><stage>Expansion</stage></stages><description>WindSail's alternative investment approach provides flexible financing solutions to companies within the clean energy industry.

The program identifies high-potential entrepreneurs using predictive social science testing, and then guides them through weekly company-building sessions featuring a network of over 700 CEO Mentors. A four-month program with a unique shared-equity structure, Founder Institute provides weekly meetings with mentor CEOs on topics designed to improve company-building. Unlike incubators such as TechStars or Y-Combinator, which take small equity stakes in companies that participate, Founder Institute divvies up equity among all its participants. Each company that participates in the Founder Institute will contribute 3.5 percent in stock warrants into an equity pool that is shared among all the participants and mentors. The Founder Institute does not provide office space and to date has graduated 415 companies in 21 cities worldwide. </description><address><city>New York</city><state>NY</state></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>2RedBeans</name><link>http://www.2redbeans.com/en/</link></firm><firm><name>Animeeple</name><link>http://www.animeeple.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AutoSally</name><link>http://blog.autosally.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Buzub</name><link>http://buzub.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Explorence</name><link>http://www.explorence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HighNoteLive</name><link>http://venturebeatprofiles.com/company/profile/highnotelive</link></firm><firm><name>Loudlever</name><link>http://www.loudlever.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Mona Lisa Style</name><link>http://www.monalisastyle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RentCycle</name><link>http://www.rentcycle.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CakeHealth</name><link>https://cakehealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Skimble</name><link>http://www.skimble.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MicroMobs</name><link>http://micromobs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>udemy</name><link>http://www.udemy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Breezy</name><link>https://www.breezy.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Memetales</name><link>http://memetales.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LetsLunch</name><link>http://letslunch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SnapShop</name><link>http://www.snapshopinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>identifii</name><link>http://identifi.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ShareSquare</name><link>http://getsharesquare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Retailigence</name><link>http://www.retailigence.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Skydera</name><link>http://www.skydera.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Learning Yard</name><link>http://learningyard.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InTheDoor</name><link>http://www.inthedoor.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Fashioning Change</name><link>http://fashioningchange.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Adeo Ressi, CEO</name></member></management></company><company><name>Firehouse Capital, Inc.</name><website>www.firehousecapital.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Real Estate</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Formed 2006, Firehouse Capital, Inc. is a privately held investment company that makes entrepreneurial investments in early stage technology companies, real estate, and other interesting opportunities.

Founded with an initial donation by Jaishree and Desh Deshpande, The Deshpande Center helps MIT faculty and students commercialize breakthrough technologies and inventions by transforming promising ideas into innovative products and cutting-edge spinout companies. Toward this end, the center makes modest but pivotal investments in research that is being done by some of MIT's most talented scientists and engineers. The Deshpande Center awards two types of grants- Ignition grants and Innovation grants- based primarily on the stage of an investigator's research. The cumulative value of an initial grant plus subsequent renewals cannot exceed $250,000. The center awards one-year Ignition Grants of $50,000 to researchers who are doing promising yet still-unproven work on inventions with a potentially large impact. Researchers whose inventions are sufficiently developed can bypass the Ignition grant stage and apply directly for a one-year Innovation Grant. An Innovation Grant cannot exceed $250,000. The Deshpande Center supports a wide range of emerging technologies including biotechnology, biomedical devices, information technology, new materials, tiny tech, and energy innovations. </description><address><address1>Massachusetts Institute of Technology</address1><address2>77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 1-229</address2><city>Cambridge</city><state>MA</state><zip>02139</zip><phone>617-253-0943</phone><fax>617-253-8442</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>EyeNetra</name><link>http://eyenetra.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Eta Devices</name><link>http://etadevices.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ImmuneXcite</name><link>http://immunexcite.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Firefly BioWorks</name><link>http://fireflybio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lantos Technologies</name><link>http://www.lantostechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ambri</name><link>http://www.ambri.com/</link></firm><firm><name>i2Chem</name><link>http://i2chem.com/services</link></firm><firm><name>TARIS Biomedical</name><link>http://www.tarisbiomedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hepregen</name><link>http://hepregen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Goby</name><link>http://www.goby.com/</link></firm><firm><name>1366 Technologies</name><link>http://www.1366tech.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Leon Sandler, Executive Director, 617-253-0943</name><email>leons@mit.edu</email></member><member><name>Charles L.

Launched by a multi-year grant from the Charles A. Edison Fund, the Georgia Tech Edison provides seed funding for early-stage technology companies that have a close association with Georgia Tech. The Fund invests in companies that may be founded by Georgia Tech faculty, students and graduates; licensing technology from Georgia Tech; sponsoring research at Georgia Tech; or even hiring a large number of Georgia Tech alumni.

a diversified investment firm with interests in Venture Capital, Corporate Investment and Real Estate. Arcapita Ventures is a $200 million dedicated investment fund launched in October 2005. The firm focuses on growth stage enterprises primarily in the United States. Arcapita typically acts as the lead investor in companies operating in the (i) healthcare, (ii) information technology and (iii) industrial technology sectors. The investment team looks for businesses that have established technologies and customer bases, and where its investment capital, network and expertise can be applied to scale a proven business model. Typically, the Fund invests between $4 and $8 million in an initial round of funding, with the capability to invest up to $20 million over the life of a portfolio company. In addition to providing growth capital, the Fund selectively considers venture buyouts of companies with enterprise values of less than $40 million. Within Arcapita's targeted sectors, the partners look for companies that have at least $2 million in revenues over the prior twelve months. Arcapita's corporate investment team operates out of its offices in Atlanta. Arcapita acts as a principal and arranger in the acquisition of controlling interests in established companies in the United States and Europe, focusing on growth-oriented corporate acquisitions with a total transaction value between $300 million and $1 billion. Smaller transactions are considered in certain high-growth situations or in circumstances where opportunities exist for strategic add-on acquisitions. Arcapita maintains additional offices in Bahrain, London and Singapore.</description><address><address1>75 Fourteenth Street, 24th Floor</address1><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30309</zip><phone>404-920-9000</phone><fax>404-920-9001</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>FrameMax</name><link>http://www.framemax.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aspen Aerogels</name><link>http://www.aerogel.com/markets/building.html</link></firm><firm><name>Fidelis Senior Care</name><link>http://www.fidelissc.com/home/index.asp</link></firm><firm><name>Intelleflex</name><link>http://intelleflex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardioMEMs</name><link>http://www.cardiomems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Alloptic</name><link>http://alloptic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prenova</name><link>http://www.ecova.com/news-media/press-releases/ecova-to-acquire-prenova,-increasing-capabilities-in-real-time-building-management-services.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Jill Acquisition</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtbxby2/jill-acquisition-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Compagnie Europeenne de Prestations Logistiques</name><link>http://www.europeancapital.com/our_portfolio/companies/cepl.html</link></firm><firm><name>PODS Demand Storage</name><link>http://www.pods.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Varel International Energy Services</name><link>http://www.varelintl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>3PD</name><link>http://www.3pd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Church Street Health Management</name><link>http://cshm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Meridian Surgical Partners</name><link>http://www.meridiansurgicalpartners.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bijoux Terner</name><link>http://www.bijouxterner.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Tensar Corporation</name><link>http://www.tensarcorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Southland Log Homes</name><link>http://www.southlandloghomes.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Venture Investment Team:</name><member><name>John Huntz, Executive Director &amp; Head of Venture Capital</name><email>jhuntz@arcapita.com</email></member><member><name>Ramsay Battin, Director</name><email>rbattin@arcapita.com</email></member><member><name>Linnea J.

The SL Fund was initially formed in December 2007 with approximately $3.6 billion of committed capital. The firm acquired its interests in the SL Fund from Allied Capital in October 2009. In addition, Ares' portfolio company, Ivy Hill Asset Management,  serves as manager or sub-manager to seven funds.

More challenging or cyclical industries such as restaurants, retail, oil and gas, and technology are also considered. The firm's investments range from $20 million to $200+ million in companies with EBITDA of $10 - $250 million.</description><address><address1>3000 Sand Hill Road, Suite 205</address1><city>Menlo

The Georgia Medical Center Authority helps advance the life sciences industry state-wide by providing up to $300 Million in revenue bonds for research, development, and manufacturing facilities, and by managing BioBusiness Centers, which serve as business accelerators for established, startup and post-incubator life sciences companies. The Georgia Medical Center Authority's vision is to advance the growth of Georgia's life sciences industry by facilitating the creation and retention of biomedical jobs, having substantial impact on Georgia's economy and the health of its citizens. The Georgia Medical Center Authority conceptualized the creation of business accelerator facilities in 2005 as a result of strong demand for space by post-incubator and start-up entrepreneurs in the Life Sciences industry (medical device, bioinformatics, medical software, telemedicine, and biotech). The Augusta BioBusiness Center (ABBC), the authority's flagship business accelerator facility, is located in historic, downtown Augusta, Georgia. This 17,000 sq. ft. facility, which features wet and dry laboratories and offices, currently hosts three life sciences companies, two of which were "born" at the Medical College of Georgia.</description><address><address1>973 Broad Street</address1><city>Augusta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30901</zip><phone>706-432-4040</phone><fax>706-432-4060</fax></address><portfolio><name>Tenant companies include:</name><firm><name>REACH Call</name><link>http://www.reachhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthTronics Laboratory Solutions</name><link>http://labs.healthtronics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Integrated Science Systems</name><link>http://www.integratedsciencesystems.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Stanley M.

While GRA receives a state appropriation for investment in university-based research opportunities, its small staff  and lean operations are funded through foundation and industry contributions. In its first 19 years, GRA leveraged $525 million in state funding into $2.6 billion of additional federal and private investment. VentureLab is GRA's signature technology commercialization program.  Launched in 2002, VentureLab helps build high-growth companies around laboratory discoveries at GRA's partner universities. VentureLab seeks out university-based research innovations, evaluates their commercial potential and provides resources to address the management, market and technology risks that come with new ventures. Each participating university  -- Georgia Tech, Emory, the University of Georgia, Georgia State University and Georgia Health Sciences University -- has an active technology incubator with which VentureLab can partner. In the last five years through VentureLab, GRA has evaluated the commercial potential of more than 260 university inventions or discoveries and awarded VentureLab grants to form 107 active companies. At the end of 2010, these companies employed more than 640 professionals, had attracted $460.2 million in private equity investment and generated nearly $77 million in revenue.</description><address><address1>50 Hurt Plaza, Suite 1220</address1><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30303</zip><phone>404-332-9770</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Axion Biosystems</name><link>http://www.axionbiosystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CardioMEMS</name><link>http://www.cardiomems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Elevar</name><link>http://elevarequity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Innovolt</name><link>http://www.innovolt.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InsectiGen</name><link>http://insectigen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedShape</name><link>http://medshapeweightloss.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Pramana</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pramana</link></firm><firm><name>Scintigra</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtb9840/scintigra-inc</link></firm><firm><name>ArunA Biomedical</name><link>http://www.arunabiomedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Body Surface Translations</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=53306313</link></firm><firm><name>Damballa</name><link>http://www.damballa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Digital Vision</name><link>http://www.digitalvision.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>GeoVax</name><link>http://www.geovax.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedShape Solutions</name><link>http://medshape.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NeurOp</name><link>http://neuropinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>REACH Health</name><link>http://reachhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sentrinsic</name><link>http://www.sentrinsic.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Suniva</name><link>http://www.suniva.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Amy C.

The Fund's purpose is twofold: 1) to achieve superior investment returns, primarily in the form of capital gains, by building and investing in debt and equity securities of a portfolio of companies, and 2) to increase economic development of life sciences in Georgia by seed or early-stage investments in life science entities. The firm invests through Georgia Venture Partners (the GVP Seed Fund), the largest seed-stage, Georgia-focused life sciences fund in the state with the major academic universities as its Limited Partners. The initial investment of the fund is between $100,000 and $500,000 with a total investment in a single company of $1 million. The firm's partners are also advisors to the State of Georgia Bioscience Seed Fund, a separate source of capital for companies. Established in 2000 by the Georgia State Legislature, the State of Georgia Bioscience Seed Fund invests side-by-side with accredited early-stage investors in life science companies based in Georgia.</description><address><address1>1180 Peachtree Street, NE, Suite 4150</address1><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30309</zip><phone>404-920-2051 </phone><fax>404-920-2054</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>AerovectRx</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=28760971</link></firm><firm><name>Biofisica</name><link>http://www.biofisica.com/index.php/pg/63</link></firm><firm><name>CytoDome</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=9588719</link></firm><firm><name>Iconic Therapeutics</name><link>http://iconictherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>InsectiGen</name><link>http://insectigen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neorop</name><link>http://neuropinc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PhysioStream</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=30009290&amp;privcapId=28846849&amp;previousCapId=59150944&amp;previousTitle=Watermark%20Medical,%20LLC</link></firm><firm><name>Scientific Compliance</name><link>http://www.scicomply.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Abeome</name><link>http://www.abeomecorp.com/pages/index.html</link></firm><firm><name>Altiris</name><link>http://www.symantec.com/theme.jsp?themeid=altiris</link></firm><firm><name>Arterain Medical</name><link>http://arterain.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aruna Biomedical</name><link>http://www.arunabiomedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AxoTect</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=98339236</link></firm><firm><name>ICON Interventional</name><link>http://icon-us.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scientific Intake</name><link>http://www.scientificintake.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Stheno</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stheno</link></firm><firm><name>Visioneering Technologies</name><link>http://visioneering.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Thomas H.

The firm seeks long-term capital appreciation with privately held companies located in the Southeastern U.S. Salem bridges the gap between pure equity funds and traditional senior bank financing by providing companies with subordinated, mezzanine debt and equity investments. Salem Halifax invests primarily in management and leverage buyouts, acquisition financing, and growth funding in companies with a minimum of $1.5 million of EBITDA, and $10-75 million of revenue. The firm's typical investment ranges from $2 million to $10 million and often co-invests with some of its strategic investment partners for those transactions requiring larger amounts of capital. Salem prefers traditional manufacturing, distribution and/or service businesses employing low to medium technology.</description><address><address1>2849 Paces Ferry Rd.</address1><address2>Overlook 1, Suite 660</address2><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30339</zip><phone>770-790-5034</phone><fax>770-790-5104</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>eCoast Sales Solutions</name><link>http://ecoastsales.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Good Health Natural Foods</name><link>http://www.goodhealthnaturalfood.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Scent Air Technologies</name><link>http://www.scentair.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LA Digital Post</name><link>http://www.ladigital.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bowlin Group</name><link>http://www.bowlingroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Focus Technology Consulting</name><link>http://www.focustech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Industrial Services Group</name><link>http://industrialservicegroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Tulsa Inspections Resources</name><link>http://tulsainspection.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NeoSystems</name><link>http://www.neosystemscorp.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nutrition Physiology</name><link>http://www.bovamine.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Professional Systems</name><link>http://professionalsystemsusa.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Inland Container Express</name><link>http://inlandc.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Treasure Valley Business Group</name><link>http://www.treasurevalley.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Murray Supply Company</name><link>http://www.murraysupply.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Premier Performance Products</name><link>http://pppwd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Private Label Cosmetics</name><link>http://www.cosmeticsprivatelabel.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Future Tech</name><link>http://ftei.com/</link></firm><firm><name>S&amp;R Cabinets</name><link>http://www.rscabinets.com/</link></firm><firm><name>K2 Industrial Services</name><link>http://www.k2industrial.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Service Champ</name><link>http://servicechamp.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team: </name><member><name>Tim C.

GEDC also attracts funding support from both federal laboratories and industry partners. GEDC's research is broadly focused on communication applications including: wireless/RF, wired/copper and fiber channels. The State of Georgia created the $5 million Seed Capital Fund to support the overall GEDC initiative and catalyze the development of broadband infrastructure companies. The fund can invest up to $500K at the first professional round, and the investment must be matched at a 3:1 ratio (minimum) by the private equity community. The fund assists in creating the syndicate of investors for each seed investment that it makes. In addition to taking equity, the fund requires board observation rights in all of its investments. The Seed Capital Fund is managed by the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), which is based in Atlanta near the Georgia Institute of Technology (see profile). The center has generated more than $32 million in federal and industry investment.</description><address><address1>85 5th Street N.W.</address1><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30308</zip><phone>404-894-1400</phone><fax>404-656-3567</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>IVivity</name><link>http://www.ivivity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kipper Technologies</name><link>http://www.spoke.com/info/c3WLJlz/KipperTechnologiesInc</link></firm><firm><name>GTronix</name><link>http://www.ti.com/ww/en/analog/noise_reduction/index.shtml</link></firm><firm><name>Broadcom</name><link>http://www.broadcom.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Management Team:</name><member><name>Stephen E.

Village Capital also operates an affiliated investment fund that invests capital using a unique peer selection model where the entrepreneurs themselves choose who will receive catalytic funding in their cohort. Village Capital recruits entrepreneurs focused on innovation in a particular geographic area (e.g. Brazil, New Orleans, East Africa) or a specific sector (e.g. mobile, energy, education). A select group of approximately 15 entrepreneurs goes through a 12-week program focused on building their businesses. The curriculum covers: (1) customer discovery/development, (2) team-building, (3) product refinement, (4) financials, and (5) scaling and impact, and (6) exit strategy. At the end of the program, the entrepreneurs vote on the top ventures to receive Village Capital's pre-committed capital. In the past four years, Village Capital has launched seventeen programs worldwide, supporting over 275 entrepreneurs. Participants have raised $30 million, created over 5,000 jobs, and served 4 million customers.</description><address><address1>2200 Century Parkway, #100</address1><city>Atlanta</city><state>GA</state><zip>30345</zip><phone>404-797-2067</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Lipisha</name><link>http://techmoran.com/2013/03/30/ceo-weekendskenyas-lipisha-linking-businesses-to-mobile-money/</link></firm><firm><name>EcoFuels Kenya</name><link>http://www.ecofuelskenya.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Save Energy Systems</name><link>http://www.saveenergysystems.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Ross Baird, Executive Director</name><email>ross@vilcap.com</email></member><member><name>James Watson, Program Director</name><email>james@vilcap.com</email></member><member><name>Victoria Fram, Director of Operations</name></member><member><name>Lily Bowles, Program Associate</name><email>lily@vilcap.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Caerus Ventures</name><website>www.caerusventures.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Storage &amp; Hardware</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry><industry>Manufacturing &amp; Industrial</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Caerus Ventures is a principal investment and business advisory firm that focuses on emerging, venture stage companies seeking capital as well as business advisory services.

Once a year, LaunchBox selects 7-10 teams out of hundreds of applications to participate in LaunchBox. These teams receive up to $20,000 per company in exchange for 6% of the common stock in the company. Deal terms also incorporate warrants providing LaunchBox Digital an option to invest up to a pre-determined amount at the conclusion of LaunchBox10 at a pre-determined valuation. Selected companies receive three months of support services, mentorship, and participation in Demo Day: a chance to pitch to over 100 venture capitalists and angel investors at the conclusion of the program. Seventeen companies participated in LaunchBox Digital's first two summer accelerator programs, LaunchBox08 and LaunchBox09.

The firm invests primarily in early to middle stage companies, located in the Midwest and Southeast, that operate in a variety of high growth industries. River Cities will invest in companies at any stage of development, from early to mature, as long as they present an opportunity for rapid growth. However, the firm generally does not invest in pre-revenue companies in their "seed" stage. River Cities invests primarily in high growth Information Technology and Healthcare companies that leverage technology to make their customers' businesses or products/services better, faster, or less expensive. Within IT and healthcare, the business models that make up the River Cities portfolio generally fall into one of four sub-categories: software as a service, enterprise or infrastructure software, business process outsourcing, and devices. River Cities invests primarily in expansion stage opportunities with revenues in the $3 million to $15 million range. The partners raised $90 million for Fund II in 1999 and $137 million for Fund III in 2001. Fund IV closed in March 2008 with $120 million.</description><address><address1>3737 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 100</address1><city>Raleigh</city><state>NC</state><zip>27612</zip><phone>919-573-6111 </phone><fax>919-573-6050</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Electronic Data Resources</name><link>http://www.superpages.com/bp/West-Palm-Beach-FL/Electronic-Data-Resources-L2062934408.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Fullscope</name><link>http://www.fullscope.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AfterBot</name><link>http://afterbot.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Intelliseek</name><link>http://www.searchtools.com/tools/intelliseek.html</link></firm><firm><name>Construction Software Technologies</name><link>http://isqft.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Convey Systems</name><link>http://www.convey.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CrossMedia Services</name><link>http://www.crossmedia-tv.com/bios.htm</link></firm><firm><name>ECNext</name><link>http://www.ecnext.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Electronic Data Resources</name><link>http://www.superpages.com/bp/West-Palm-Beach-FL/Electronic-Data-Resources-L2062934408.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Entek IRD International</name><link>http://www.entek-international.com/</link></firm><firm><name>EVault</name><link>http://www.evault.com/</link></firm><firm><name>fourthchannel</name><link>http://fourthchannel.net/</link></firm><firm><name>High Speed Access</name><link>http://www.high-speed-internet-access-guide.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Hill Top Research</name><link>http://www.hill-top.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Horizon Resource Group</name><link>http://www.horizonrg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>I.D.

NCIF has operated in West Virginia since 2001, expanding to North Carolina, Virginia, and northeast Tennessee in 2007. NCIF is affiliated with The Conservation Fund, a national nonprofit organization with a unique dual mission of land &amp; water conservation and economic development. NCIF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Fund's mission is to provide debt and equity financing to small and emerging natural resource-based businesses that will advance sustainable economic development and have a positive impact on human health and the natural environment. NCIF's business clients are predominantly located in economically distressed rural communities and are unable to access capital from traditional sources. Sectors of particular interest include: heritage and recreation-based tourism, value-added and sustainable agriculture, water/wastewater treatment, sustainable forestry and forest products, integrated waste management, and recycling. NCIF seeks to fund companies that pay attention to a "triple bottom line," that is, they integrate positive economic, environmental and social, performance. NCIF will consider loans in the range of $15,000 to $250,000. NCIF equity investments range from $50,000 to $250,000.</description><address><address1>410 Market Street, Suite 360</address1><city>Chapel Hill</city><state>NC</state><zip>27516</zip><phone>919-967-2223 ext. 113</phone><fax>919-967-9702 </fax></address><altaddress><name>(Winston-Salem Office)</name><address1>1821 Elizabeth Avenue</address1><city>Winston-Salem</city><state>NC</state><zip>27103</zip><phone>919-967-2223, ext. 133</phone><fax>919-967-9702</fax></altaddress><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Blue Smoke Salsa</name><link>http://www.wvgourmetfoods.com/bluesmoke.htm</link></firm><firm><name>The Crazy Baker</name><link>http://www.thecrazybaker.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Custard Stand Food Products</name><link>http://custardstand.com/</link></firm><firm><name>NYCY</name><link>http://www.hitechcontrols.com/cables/medium_voltage_power/power-underground/nycy.html</link></firm><firm><name>Sunny Hollow Farms</name><link>http://sunnyhollowfarms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Annie's Naturally Bakery</name><link>http://www.anniesnaturallybakery.com/home.html</link></firm><firm><name>Sunny Hollow Farms</name><link>http://sunnyhollowfarms.com/</link></firm><firm><name>West Virginia Aqua</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mm083pg/west-virginia-aqua-llc</link></firm><firm><name>Cabins on Miller Ridge</name><link>http://www.wvcabinrental.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Harman's North Fork Cottages</name><link>http://wvlogcabins.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Palisades Restaurant</name><link>http://thepalisadesrestaurant.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Rivermen Whitewater</name><link>http://www.rivermen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Secret Sandwich Society</name><link>http://secretsandwichsociety.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Songer WhiteWate</name><link>http://www.songerwhitewater.com/</link></firm><firm><name>West Virginia Adventures</name><link>http://www.trywva.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Wilderness Voyageurs</name><link>http://wilderness-voyageurs.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Altamont Envirnmental</name><link>http://altamontenvironmental.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Gauley Mountain Moulding</name><link>http://www.ncifund.org/Gauley_Mountain_Moulding</link></firm><firm><name>Laurel Creek Hardwoods</name><link>http://www.manta.com/c/mtmv7dv/laurel-creek-hardwoods</link></firm><firm><name>Renick Millworks &amp; Old Mountain Supply</name><link>http://renickmillworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SJ Morse Company</name><link>http://sjmorse.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sanesco International</name><link>http://www.sanesco.net/</link></firm><firm><name>Southeast Women's Herbal Conference</name><link>http://www.sewisewomen.com/womens_herbal_conference/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Washington Homeopathic Products</name><link>http://www.homeopathyworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>C &amp; J Farm</name><link>http://cjgrassfed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>White Oak Game Farm</name><link>http://www.buygamebirds.com/hatcheries-west-virginia/buckhannon/white-oak-game-farm.html</link></firm><firm><name>Simply Natural Diary Farm</name><link>http://www.ncifund.org/Simply_Natural_Dairy_Farm</link></firm><firm><name>LightsON!

The partners began their venture capital careers managing a portfolio of healthcare companies for Hospital Corporation of America. Four funds are currently under management aggregating $188 million. Historically, Coleman Swenson has invested in the service, product, and information systems sectors of the industry throughout the U.S. A majority of the investments were initially made at a very early stage, often a company's inception. Coleman Swenson invests in opportunities in healthcare services, medical devices, medical products, biotechnology, information systems/technology, and Internet-based applications to healthcare. The four funds managed by Coleman Swenson are Franklin Capital Associates L.P. (FCA), Franklin Capital Associates II L.P. (FCA II), Franklin Capital Associates III L.P. (FCA III) and Coleman Swenson Hoffman Booth IV L.P. (CSHB IV). The portfolios of FCA and FCA II were balanced between the product and service segments of the healthcare industry. FCA III invested primarily in privately held services, information systems, and telecommunication companies exclusively in the healthcare industry, with CSHB IV serving as a later stage source of funding. Coleman Swenson usually serves as lead investor in the financing and is represented on the Board of Directors of a portfolio company. Typically, the investment range is $1-7 million. Over 60% of fund investments have been in seed and start-up companies, and Coleman Swenson often incubates outstanding management teams while developing business opportunities. </description><address><address1>237 Second Avenue South</address1><city>Franklin</city><state>TN</state><zip>37064-2649</zip><phone>615-791-9462</phone><fax>615-791-9636</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Active Day</name><link>http://www.activeday.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Best Doctors</name><link>http://www.bestdoctors.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bravo Health</name><link>http://www.mybravohealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cell Therapeutics</name><link>http://www.celltherapeutics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CHD Meridian</name><link>http://www.takecareemployersolutions.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Children's Comprehensive Services</name><link>http://www.answers.com/topic/children-s-comprehensive-services-inc</link></firm><firm><name>Coventry Health Care</name><link>http://www.coventryhealthcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Healtheon/ WebMD</name><link>http://www.webmd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HealthStream</name><link>http://www.healthstream.com/index.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Kroll Background America</name><link>https://www.baionline.net/</link></firm><firm><name>LifeMetrix</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?capId=139452</link></firm><firm><name>Matria Healthcare</name><link>http://www.matria.com/EN_US/</link></firm><firm><name>LifeTrust America</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=30819</link></firm><firm><name>Long Term Care Group</name><link>http://www.univitahealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>LXU Healthcare/ Integra</name><link>http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/news.html?d=119103</link></firm><firm><name>MedicaLogic/Medscape</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medscape</link></firm><firm><name>NotifyMD</name><link>http://notifymd.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Passport Health Communications</name><link>http://www.passporthealth.com/index.aspx</link></firm><firm><name>Pediatric Services of America</name><link>http://www.psahealthcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PYXIS/ Cardinal Health</name><link>http://www.cardinal.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SGX Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://newsroom.lilly.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=329110</link></firm><firm><name>SleepMed</name><link>http://www.sleepmed.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vitas Healthcare</name><link>http://www.vitas.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Workscape</name><link>http://www.workscape.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals</name><link>http://xanodyne.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Larry H.

Started in 2010, JSF is a formal, mentor-driven 14-week business acceleration program held over the summer months --with the goal of launching successful companies, prime for funding, at an Investor Day in late August. Those startup companies-- keying on the areas of healthcare IT, information &amp; data and social engagement tools-- will derive resources and guidance from a hand-selected group of mentors who bring a wealth of experience from a variety of fields. Additionally, Jumpstart Foundry will help grow Middle Tennessee's entrepreneurial and investment communities-- focusing on "The Future" -- by offering a series of training courses and seminars, called Jumpstart Fundamentals, geared toward expanding those communities' understanding and interaction. The Funds to support the efforts Jumpstart Foundry are supplied by Solidus Company and Solidus-TNinvestco (see profile). Program companies receive $15,000 in seed funding. In exchange for The Foundry program, seed funding, advice, mentorship, connections, and investor day, Jumpstart Foundry receives a 6% equity stake.  In 2013, JSF opened an office in Silicon Valley, where alumni companies will receive expense-paid office space and apartments while building their funding and strategic networks. </description><address><address1>c/o Solidus</address1><address2>4015 Hillsboro Pike Suite 214</address2><city>Nashville</city><state>TN</state><zip>37215</zip><phone>615-576-0573</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Wannado</name><link>http://goflorida.about.com/od/attractions/a/wannadocity.htm</link></firm><firm><name>iAgree</name><link>http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iagree/id301047391?mt=8</link></firm><firm><name>Daio</name><link>http://daio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RentStuff</name><link>http://www.rentstuff.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Meevl</name><link>http://meevl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Cold Crate</name><link>http://coldcrate.com/</link></firm><firm><name>GoodJob</name><link>http://goodjob.codebeyond.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Contigo Financial</name><link>http://contigofinancial.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Evermind</name><link>http://evermind.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Kiwi</name><link>https://kiwi.ly/</link></firm><firm><name>Jamplify</name><link>http://jamplify.com/</link></firm><firm><name>The Skillery</name><link>http://www.theskillery.com/</link></firm><firm><name>OurVinyl</name><link>http://ourvinyl.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PhotoRankr</name><link>http://photorankr.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Vic Gatto</name><email>vic@jumpstartfoundry.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>Massey Burch Capital Corp.</name><website>www.masseyburch.com</website><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Communications &amp; Networking</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>Massey Burch Capital was formed in January 1994 as the continuation of the investing activities of Jack C.

Salix Ventures manages two venture capital partnerships with more than $180 million of committed capital. With offices in Nashville and Andover, MA, Salix is a national investor focused on investing in and supporting the best management teams and companies, regardless of location. On average, Salix invests $5-7 million per company, and typically invests half of that amount in the first round of funding, with similar amounts reserved for future private financing rounds. The firm is stage-agnostic, investing in companies seeking their first round of institutional venture capital, as well as more mature companies seeking later-stage rounds. However, Salix does not make seed-stage investments, requiring that the companies in which it invests have some operational base already in place in an industry with a demonstrated proof of concept.</description><address><address1>23 Bancroft Place</address1><city>Nashville</city><state>TN</state><zip>37215</zip><phone>615-665-1409</phone><fax>615-665-2912</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Titan Health</name><link>http://titanhealth.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Aethon</name><link>http://www.aethon.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vantage Oncology</name><link>http://www.vantageoncology.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Novologix</name><link>http://www.novologix.net/</link></firm><firm><name>U.S. Renal Care</name><link>http://www.usrenalcare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Habit Management</name><link>http://www.habitopco.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Prism Education Group</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=10795763</link></firm><firm><name>Neighborhood Diabetes</name><link>http://www.sugartest.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vericare</name><link>http://vericare.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Habit Opco</name><link>http://www.habitopco.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>David Ward, General Partner</name><email>dward@salixventures.com</email></member><member><name>Chris Grant, General Partner</name><email>cgrant@salixventures.com</email></member></management></company><company><name>BEV Capital</name><website>www.bevcapital.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><codes><code>VC</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Software &amp; Internet</industry><industry>Media &amp; Digital Media</industry><industry>Business Services</industry><industry>Consumer Products</industry><industry>Retail &amp; Restaurant</industry></industries><stages><stage>Early</stage></stages><description>BEV Capital is a specialized venture capital fund focused on consumer-oriented businesses.

Boone does not finance start-ups or companies which are not yet profitable. Boone Lenders is a resource for software and technology-based solution providers, as well as service-related businesses in need of growth capital that may be non-bankable because of billing practices, limited historical profitability, or simply outstretched ABL formulas. Boone targets companies with EBITDAs of less than $7 million and located in North America. The firm invests $1-$10 million in a variety of industries, but does not invest in start-ups or real estate.

Brookside makes control equity investments in companies with revenue of at least $15 million and EBITDA of at least $3 million (up to $25 million). Brookside does not have a specific industry focus, but generally invests in manufacturing, business services, media and consumer businesses. Brookside has experience in a broad range of industries including, but not limited to: Plastics, Food, Specialty building products, Publishing, Specialty chemicals, and Specialty manufacturing. The firm typically avoids private equity investments in early stage businesses, turn around situations, and high technology businesses.

The goal of ZeroTo510 is to help medical device entrepreneurs navigate the start-up process, refine business models and achieve the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pre-market notification filing. Through a competitive application process, six companies will be selected to matriculate through an intensive, mentor-driven, 12-week program of instruction and hands-on activities designed to guide the entrepreneur through the process. In addition, each company chosen for the program will receive $50,000 in seed capital from co-investors Innova, a pre-seed, seed and early-stage investor focused on starting and funding high-growth companies in the healthcare, technology and healthcare technology fields across the state of Tennessee, and MB Venture Partners, a Memphis-based venture capital firm that provides equity capital and strategic direction to life sciences start-ups. During the second phase, up to three businesses progress forward and receive an additional $100,000 investment for an incremental equity stake. The program is launched by Memphis Bioworks Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that is leading the collaboration among public, private, academic, and government entities to accelerate the growth of the bioscience industry in the Memphis region, and Innova. ZeroTo510 is an initiative of the Greater Memphis Accelerator Consortium, a Startup TN affiliate program funded by the State of Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commission.</description><address><address1>c/o Memphis Bioworks Foundation</address1><address2>20 South Dudley, Suite 900</address2><city>Memphis</city><state>TN</state><zip>38103</zip><phone>901-866-1400</phone></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Bionanovations</name><link>http://bionanovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>HandMinder</name><link>http://www.facebook.com/HandMinder</link></firm><firm><name>NanOphthalmics</name><link>http://www.zeroto510.com/companies.html</link></firm><firm><name>EcoSurg</name><link>http://ecosurg.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Restore Medical</name><link>http://www.pillarprocedure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Urova Medical </name><link>http://www.urovamed.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Steven J.

This structure allows Chapter IV to operate with the investment latitude of both a hedge fund and a private equity fund. Chapter IV was designed to pursue the best investment ideas irrespective of the market where such ideas originate. Specifically, it has the flexibility to invest in public or private securities, invest in companies whose enterprise values range from $50 million to $5+ billion, invest for control or take small minority positions, invest at any level of a company's capital structure, establish long or short positions, utilize leverage at the fund level and/or corporate level and invest in healthy companies or distressed situations with turnaround potential. Investments are targeted toward companies that trade at discounts of 25% or more to: (i) their intrinsic value (based on a discounted cash flow model), (ii) their likely value to private equity buyers and/or (iii) their value to strategic acquirers. Chapter IV seeks to invest between $10-$50 million per transaction. Chapter IV is industry agnostic but does not invest in venture capital or early stage growth investments. The firm's private equity strategy focuses on three types of transactions: Large buyout (or recapitalization) opportunities (from $200 million to $5 billion) initiated by Chapter IV and co-investors in the firm's Fund; Small buyout (or recapitalization) opportunities (from $50 million to $200 million) initiated exclusively (or primarily) for the Fund; and Co-investment situations developed by investors in the Fund or other "friends of Chapter IV."</description><address><address1>301 South Tryon Street, Suite 1850</address1><address2>Two Wachovia Building</address2><city>Charlotte</city><state>NC</state><zip>28202</zip><phone>704-644-4070</phone><fax>704-644-4080 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>N/A</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>W.

The state offered $200 million in gross premium tax credits for future years use to insurance companies that invest in companies qualified by the State of Tennessee as a "TNInvestco". The TNInvestcos have sold the future years tax credits for up-front capital to invest in Tennessee businesses. The TNInvestco program is administratively housed in the Department of Economic and Community Development. For Tennessee small and start-up businesses to qualify to receive investment funds from a TNInvestco, a business must meet certain requirements. The business must be independently owned and operated. The business must be headquartered in Tennessee. Its principal business operations must be located in Tennessee, and at least 60% of its employees must be located in Tennessee. However, a business from outside of Tennessee may be considered if they commit to move their headquarters and operations within 12 months after receiving funding from a TNInvestco. The business must not be principally engaged in professional accounting, medical, or legal services; banking or lending; real estate development; insurance; oil and gas exploration; or direct gambling services. Additionally, demonstration of a high-growth potential will be an important qualification for receipt of funding. The business must employ no more than 100 employees. Once a business qualifies to receive investment funds, it may continue receiving funds so long as it continues to be headquartered and principally operated in Tennessee with at least 60% of its employees located in Tennessee.</description><address><address1>c/o Tennessee Department of Economic &amp; Community Development</address1><address2>312 Rosa L.

The firm's industry focus is privately held companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics industries. Greer also considers select healthcare services companies with a technology concentration or in a highly specialized market niche. GCA seeks companies looking for early and growth stage investment, with proof of concept completed, and revenues at or rapidly approaching a breakeven level of cash flow. The partners typically invest a total of between $100,000 and $2,000,000 of capital per company.

Throughout the past 30 years, SCRA has grown into a self-sustaining company with a mission to support technology and job creation, generating its own revenues and receiving no tax appropriations from the state. Through the Technology Ventures sector and its flagship SC Launch program, early stage, start-up businesses grow through investment and support; technologies are commercialized and inventions make it to the marketplace more quickly. The Applied R&amp;D sector competitively wins and delivers R&amp;D programs to federal and corporate clients, solving problems in a wide range of industries including: shipbuilding, aerospace, advanced materials, ordnance, manufacturing, defense and security. Ideas become reality at  three Innovation Centers. Located in Charleston, Columbia and Anderson and managed by our R&amp;D Facilities sector, these facilities provide incubator space to 14 companies, many of which are university spin-offs. Several later stage companies also reside in the Innovation Centers offering opportunities for mentorship and resource sharing. SCRA has expended over $59 million in funding and infrastructure to support over 280 high-tech, early-stage enterprises, directly investing over $13 million in South Carolina start-ups, who have subsequently attracted over $200 million in private investment. SCRA currently manages over 100 national and international programs, worth over $2 billion in contract value.</description><address><address1>1000 Catawba Street</address1><city>Columbia</city><state>SC</state><zip>29201</zip><phone>803-733-9070 </phone></address><altaddress><name>(Charleston Office)</name><address1>5300 International Boulevard</address1><city>Charleston</city><state>SC</state><zip>29418</zip><phone>843-760-5896</phone></altaddress><altaddress><name>(Greenville Office)</name><address1>3 Research Drive, Suite 220</address1><city>Greenville</city><state>SC</state><zip>29607</zip></altaddress><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Hoowaki</name><link>http://www.hoowaki.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Innegrity</name><link>http://www.innegrity.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Materials Innovation Technologies</name><link>http://www.emergingmit.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SensorTech</name><link>http://sensortech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Invenca</name><link>http://invenca.com/index.php</link></firm><firm><name>Spectra Analysis</name><link>http://www.spectra-analysis.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Terressentia</name><link>http://terressentia.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Climax Global Energy</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=45981840</link></firm><firm><name>EV Power Systems</name><link>http://evpowersystems.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CIVISonline</name><link>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=39828814</link></firm><firm><name>GET Interactive</name><link>http://www.getinteractive.tv/</link></firm><firm><name>iTekka</name><link>http://www.itekka.com/</link></firm><firm><name>MedProcure</name><link>http://medprocure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PinPoint GeoTech</name><link>http://www.pinpointpublicworks.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Quintesocial</name><link>http://www.techjournalsouth.com/2010/06/sc-launch-invests-100k-in-quintesocial-a-new-social-network/</link></firm><firm><name>Sabal Medical</name><link>http://www.swisslog.com/index/hcs-index/hcs-pharmacy/hcs-mobile-dispensing-cart.htm</link></firm><firm><name>Vigilix</name><link>http://www.vigilix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Zipit</name><link>http://corp.zipitwireless.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CareCam</name><link>http://carecaminnovations.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Avancen</name><link>http://avancen.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Bridge to Life</name><link>http://www.thebridgetolife.org/</link></firm><firm><name>Cooperative Diagnostics</name><link>http://codiagnostics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>CreatiVasc Medical</name><link>http://creativasc.com/</link></firm><firm><name>DigitalDerm</name><link>http://digitalderm.com/</link></firm><firm><name>FirstString Research</name><link>http://firststringresearch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Immunologix</name><link>http://immunologix.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ion Surgical Technologies</name><link>http://www.ionsurgicaltechnologies.com/</link></firm><firm><name>KIYATEC</name><link>http://kiyatec.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Lab21</name><link>http://lab21.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VidiStar</name><link>http://vidistar.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Vitasol</name><link>http://www.resuscinex.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Charleston Laboratories</name><link>http://charlestonlabs.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Martin Ettlemyer, Director of Operations SC Launch</name><email>martin.ettlemyer@scra.org</email></member><member><name>Lori Mack, Program Coordinator SC Launch</name><email>lori.mack@scra.org</email></member><member><name>Julia Martin, Chief Financial Officer</name></member><member><name>Chris Van Metre, President</name></member><member><name>Greg Hillman, Interim Executive Director SC Launch</name><email>greg.hillman@scra.org</email></member><member><name>Bill Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer</name><email>bill.mahoney@scra.org</email></member><member><name>Ambrose Schwallie, Executive VP of Corporate Development</name></member><member><name>Marvin Davis, Executive Vice President</name></member><member><name>Natalie Corella, Executive Vice President</name><email>corella@scra.org</email></member></management></company><company><name>University of South Carolina Office of Technology Commercialization</name><website>http://ip.research.sc.edu/</website><codes><code>TT</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Energy &amp; Clean Tech</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Seed</stage></stages><description>The Office of Technology Commercialization at the University of South Carolina is dedicated to bringing University inventions and technologies to the commercial sector for the benefit of the University community and the public.

The Institute showcases technologies and products developed by publicly supported organizations across the state, and commercially-viable discoveries are paired with seasoned entrepreneurs and investors to ensure their growth and success. Establishment of the Institute is a result of legislation passed in 2007 to stimulate growth of science and technology-based companies in industries that are driving the global economy. Related initiatives include the availability of gap funding targeted towards universities to help take new ideas through the "proof of concept" stage, and the creation of the Florida Opportunity Fund for increased investment in existing, early-stage ventures. The Institute is accepting applications for its Seed Capital Accelerator Program (SCAP) which will provide funding in the form of repayable loans ranging from $50,000 - $300,000 to qualified Institute companies. The goal of the new Seed Capital Accelerator Program is to bridge the funding gap for companies whose technology was developed through publicly-funded research, and to attract additional investment capital through a required match against funds provided by the state. </description><address><address1>3651 FAU Blvd., Suite 400</address1><city>Boca Raton</city><state>FL</state><zip>33431</zip><phone>561-368-8889</phone><fax>561-368-8890</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>RINI Technologies</name><link>http://rinitech.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SharpSpring </name><link>http://www.sharpspring.com/</link></firm><firm><name>eTect</name><link>http://etectbio.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ocoos</name><link>http://www.ocoos.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nano Photonica</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanophotonics</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Jamie M.

The company was founded as a result of the mutual recognition by four experienced medical device leaders that there is an unmet need for financial support and management expertise in the development of promising medical device technologies for smaller markets that are below the threshold of interest for traditional venture capital. The entire MDI Partners team is actively involved in every project, each bringing their expertise to ensure success. Ideal products are ones where the company estimates it can take a product from inception to a fully functional prototype, FDA approval and exit on an investment of between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The process begins with an assessment of how a given project fits key elements of the MDI model. When a project meets certain criteria, the company spins the intellectual property out as a new company with a research and development plan for investors to evaluate. Equity is split between MDI, the inventors, experts that are brought in to develop the technology, and the investors.</description><address><address1>2701 NW 2nd Ave., Suite 218</address1><city>Boca Raton</city><state>FL</state><zip>33431</zip><phone>561-395-7767</phone><fax>561-237-5040</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Clear Catheter Systems</name><link>http://www.pleuraflow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>VenX Medical</name><link>http://www.venxmedical.com/</link></firm><firm><name>RetinaSense</name><link>http://retinasense.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Device Innovation Group</name><link>http://deviceinnovationgroup.com/</link></firm><firm><name>PleuraFlow</name><link>http://www.pleuraflow.com/</link></firm><firm><name>ClearSpec</name><link>http://www.clearspec.com.au/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Edward Boyle M.D., Managing Director</name></member><member><name>John F.

The funds managed by Partisan are provided entirely by the two principals of the firm. Partisan begins by identifying large, unmet medical needs before clinical and investment focus by others. Partisan often creates or licenses intellectual property and initially forms a wholly owned new company. Partisan selects a management team whom the principals can treat as partners for the duration of the investment. Partisan principals often act as senior officers as well as board members. Partisan typically provides the founding round of capital and then leads a seed round with its network of angel investors or selected venture firms. The firm has ten completed investments - eight resulted in successful liquidity events, and one (RxKinetics) did not. The firm's cash-on-cash return to date has been 6.5 times, and its IRR to date is 60%. Two of the successful investments (Corvita and Novoste) were syndicated with other venture firms and were taken public. Three (RxKinetics, Renal Solutions and Liposonix) were syndicated and sold as pre-revenue companies. One (Medivance) was syndicated, operated for thirteen years, and built into a substantial and profitable company. Three of the other four (Novoste Puerto Rico, Enable Medical and Impla-Med) employed only angel financing, and the final company (Symbiosis) was bootstrapped with no outside financing. Four of the Partisan companies are cardiovascular device industry participants. Three developed treatments or devices for renal diseases, two have developed minimally invasive surgical instruments, two treat neurological conditions, one pioneered a new type of dental implant, one developed new drug delivery technology, one is focused on aesthetic medicine, and one develops ethnographically designed self-treatment kits for chronic diseases. </description><address><address1>6 Ocean Club Drive</address1><city>Amelia Island</city><state>FL</state><zip>32034</zip><phone>904-491-8619</phone><fax>904-491-8606</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Medivance</name><link>http://www.medivance.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Ash Access</name><link>http://www.ashaccess.com/</link></firm><firm><name>AtriCure</name><link>http://www.atricure.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Neuronetics</name><link>http://www.neuronetics.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Communication Science</name><link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_Sciences</link></firm><firm><name>ZS Pharma</name><link>http://zspharma.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Surefire Medical</name><link>http://surefiremedical.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Norman R.

Endeavor typically acquires its equity ownership through direct investments in promising companies (both buyouts and venture investments). In addition, Endeavor purchases small venture portfolios, (direct secondaries), acquiring ownership interests in multiple businesses from a selling individual or institutional shareholder. On the venture side, the firm's target investments are often considered too small (in investment size) or "unpolished" by larger private equity funds. In general, Endeavor's targeted investments already sell products to existing customers, but have not yet penetrated markets sufficiently to realize their full valuation potential. Endeavor also pursues small to mid-size buyouts (transaction sizes up to $50 million), where the initial business can be used as a platform company pursuing both organic growth and consolidating acquisitions in a specific industry. The firm is particularly interested in out of favor industries or special situations where valuations are relatively low and a company can take advantage of technology to materially alter its operating economics. Endeavor's average investment ranges from $500,000 to $5 million, but the firm has invested $10 million over the life of an investment, and, with limited partners and co-investors, over $20 million. The firm is somewhat opportunistic in terms of industry-focus; however, Endeavor is currently pursuing investments offering products or services that are technology-oriented in the following industries:  Environmental Technologies, Energy and Utilities, Communications, Software, Business Processes Outsourcing, and Special situations in which manufacturing or service businesses alter a company's operation economics and competitive strength through technology. Endeavor works with companies in North America and European Union. </description><address><address1>101 Birch Hill Road</address1><city>Weston</city><state>CT</state><zip>06883</zip><phone>203-341-7788</phone><fax>203-341-7799 </fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>Clean Air Power</name><link>http://www.cleanairpower.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Enerwise Global Technologies</name><link>http://enerwise.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SmartSynch</name><link>http://www.smartsynch.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Nxtphase</name><link>http://www.nxtphase.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Perfect Commerce</name><link>http://www.perfect.com/</link></firm><firm><name>Sawgrass Technologies</name><link>http://www.sawgrassink.com/</link></firm><firm><name>SoftSwitching Technologies</name><link>http://www.softswitch.com/sst/index.do</link></firm><firm><name>NWP Services</name><link>http://www.mynwpsc.com/xwsHome/</link></firm><firm><name>APX</name><link>http://www.apx.com/</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Anthony Buffa, Managing General Partner</name><email>abuffa@endeavorcap.com</email></member><member><name>Dane Coyer, Venture Partner</name></member><member><name>Nancy Haar, General Partner</name><email>nhaar@endeavorcap.com</email></member><member><name>Thomas Buffa, General Counsel</name><email>tbuffa@endeavorcap.com</email></member><member><name>Frank Gallagi, Venture Partner</name></member></management></company><company><name>Equinox Capital</name><website>www.equinox-capital.com</website><regions><region>New York</region></regions><codes><code>PE</code></codes><industries><industry>Information Technology</industry><industry>Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare</industry></industries><stages><stage>Middle Market</stage></stages><description>Established in 1998, Equinox is a Connecticut-based private equity firm specializing in making equity and equity-related investments in small to medium-sized companies.

Flag Capital annually commits over $350 million to general partners worldwide in venture capital, private equity, and real asset investments through its four different fund strategies: FLAG Venture Partners, FLAG Private Equity, FLAG International Partners, and FLAG Real Assets Partners. The firm invests a significant amount of capital alongside its Limited Partners to assure that its interests are aligned. FLAG does not make direct investments in portfolio companies as the firm believes it requires a different skill set and may also introduce conflicts of interest. Over the next three years, FLAG Venture Partners (FVP) plans to invest in early and multi-stage companies with a focus in communications, technology, and healthcare. The FPE funds invest in a select group of high quality managers across the private equity continuum gaining exposure to different deal sizes, while achieving concentration with proven buyout, growth capital and turnaround funds. With offices in offices in Boston, Hong Kong, and Stamford, Connecticut, FLAG International Partners (FIP) invests with esteemed non-U.S. private equity and venture capital managers with a particular focus on European private equity, European and Israeli venture capital, and Asian private equity and venture capital in both developed and emerging  markets.</description><address><address1>1266 East Main Street, 5th Floor </address1><city>Stamford</city><state>CT</state><zip>06902</zip><phone>203-352-0440 </phone><fax>203-352-0441</fax></address><portfolio><name>Portfolio companies include:</name><firm><name>N/A</name><link>N/A</link></firm></portfolio><management><name>Investment Team:</name><member><name>Diana H.
