Entreprenuer Information

So you've got this great company...

Capital is the key to any business venture, especially early-stage enterprises. The Alberta Deal Generator (ADG) helps entrepreneurs bring forward the kind of high-growth investment opportunities that investors are seeking.

Challenges

Angel investors want to hear from well-prepared entrepreneurs who have done their homework. Many entrepreneurs seeking this type of financing face several key challenges:

• no connections with active investors
• no venue to “pitch” their investment opportunity to investors
• limited understanding of essential information that investors need for financing decisions
• incomplete understanding of crucial corporate elements required for financing
• incomplete development of crucial business plans for growth

Alberta Deal Generator helps overcome these challenges.

Services to Entrepreneurs and their Growth-Stage Ventures

Designed with input from the investing community, ADG screens potential deals, prepares the ones making the grade and arranges for a presentation to the investor network.

These are some of the steps in more detail:

• We accept clients with high-growth potential that are ready or nearly ready for investment, according to our selection criteria (see the who qualifies page).
• We provide an initial evaluation of the company in the screening process to identify viable high-growth opportunities.
• We undertake a Company Assessment based on almost 100 criteria – the same factors considered by investors.
• We identify areas that would concern investors and help overcome these obstacles or provide connections to services or agencies that can help overcome the challenges.
• We simultaneously cultivate a network of people and groups that are serious about investing in high-growth Alberta technology companies.
• We can help prepare a succinct presentation that aims to address key investment issues in the form of the persuasive “pitch”.
• When we have a few companies ready to make their pitch, we contact the investor network to market the potential of the ventures and invite accredited members to a special forum.
• We provide an exclusive opportunity for the entrepreneur to persuade accredited, active investors that the venture is a great partnership opportunity.
  

We will give qualified companies the advice and the forum that can make deals happen. But the Alberta Deal Generator is not a guarantee. We cannot ensure a successful outcome for entrepreneurs and investors who participate. However, ADG helps simplify and formalize a complex marketplace for investors and entrepreneurs to interact. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or an investor, you’re responsible for your own success. However, if we all collaborate on a program that produces results, the potential is unlimited.
