E-FVG - Faster Funding

The first major challenge facing companies seeking funding in today’s marketplace, as has long been the case, is their inability to identify the investors, individual or institutional, which have the level of “available” capital resources necessary to invest in their company. Compounding the problem, is the fact that simply having the level of investment capital sought, does not automatically make an investor a prime investor candidate for a company seeking capital. The reality is that different investors have different investment interests, ranging from industry focus, to company development stage, to geographic considerations and many other

personal preference considerations. No wonder then, that most companies seeking to secure timely funding, find themselves “wandering in the wilderness” for 6 months to a year or more, before they are able to make any real progress toward actually receiving the funding sought. Unfortunately, many a golden opportunity has been lost to this age old dilemma.

The situation, however, has always been a two-sided problem, in that the investors had no means of knowing what investment opportunities would likely be compatible with their personal investment criteria, and have been obliged to scan hundreds of business plans looking for that one elusive deal that to them, is the “oyster” they’ve been searching for. So companies seeking capital, continue to submit their business plans to practically every investment-oriented organization they can find, that is willing to accept it. Early attempts to bring positive change through formal syndication by registered brokers has helped but is still severely limited in their

degree of effectiveness and efficiency in placing deals. Most investment syndication today simply involves categorizing a deal by industry (eg. “real estate development”) and by the amount of funding sought (eg. $20Million), where the investor is still obliged to actually read the executive summary or business plan just to determine the deal's relevancy to their investment criteria. Sure an investor may be interested in real estate development deals from $20M and up, but that's only the beginning of the filtering process. The investor may only be interested in such companies which already have some funding in place, or which already have a full board of directors, or which already have some traction (sales activity), or that are based on ocean-front land. Each investor's criteria is slightly different, and it has traditionally been a monumental waste of investors' time to sift through scores of business plans looking for the one that closely matches their more detailed investment criteria.

UNTIL NOW.

E-FVG’s strategic channel partner has developed a superior syndication platform and protocol, that is based on an analysis of the deeper characteristics of companies seeking capital, and assigning a numerical value to the results of that analysis. This value, or Score, ranging between 0 and 1000, essentially represents a company’s assessed level of investment readiness, according to the many considerations which sophisticated investors currently use to evaluate prospective investments.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL SECURITIES NOR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE THEIR OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED. ONLY "ACCREDITED INVESTORS" (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION D UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES LAWS) WHO HAVE FURTHER QUALIFIED AS MEMBERS OF THE SUBJECT INVESTOR NETWORK MAY VIEW SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE SUBJECT PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET.

The principle is quite similar to how “Credit Scores” are applied to both corporations and individuals. However, this advanced evaluation system and score has nothing to do with credit worthiness and a low score is by no means a negative reflection on, or any indictment of the company in question, but rather, is merely a benchmark indication of where the company stands in terms of its investment readiness or attractiveness to sophisticated and accredited investors. For example, a very low Score of 100 is usually indicative of a company which has not yet completed a full business plan, or doesn't yet have a formal board of directors, or, is still in the R&D phase, or hasn't yet secured patents, etc. Such a company is not by definition a “bad” investment, its just still in the startup phase and is seeking seed capital. Such a company therefore, may be very unattractive to larger individual investors and institutional investors who're looking for more advanced and sophisticated investments. On the other hand, such a company is exactly what some angel investors love to find; an opportunity to get in early in a promising startup, where they can get a board seat and utilize their particular expertise proactively.

So by assessing each company according to a standardized profiling criteria, which is a series of questions the banks don't typically ask, each company (client) seeking funding is assigned a Score, which clearly tells investors what stage the company is at in their development and what level of readiness they have for major funding, without the investors ever having to read through the company’s business plan. The accredited investors in the Global Investor Network tied to this rating system, have already established their preferred Score “range” for prospective deals, which also encompasses the individual investors’ industry preference, their funding amount preference and their geographic zone preference, to filter the deals for possible “high percentage” matches. So an investor may decide, for example, that he's only interested in real estate development deals in the US or Canada, which are seeking $20Million or more in funding AND which have undergone an investment rating analysis and have obtained a Score of 400 or higher.

The net result of this advanced analysis, scoring and syndication system, is that deals find their ideal investor FASTER, and get closed much more quickly than before, primarily because its no longer a case of a company having to brow beat an investor and convince him or her to go with a project that is really only on the fringe of their preferred investment profile. Now, investors are able to quickly find and enthusiastically negotiate on deals that closely match their preferred investment criteria. E-FVG, as a strategic channel partner of the developers and operators of this advanced syndication platform, serves as an independent Client Account Administrator for companies seeking capital through the system, managing the entire syndication process for the client. This allows the management of client company seeking capital, to continue to focus on their core competency, while being assured of optimal investment syndication through the extensive global investor network. In the interest of ensuring an unbiased scoring assessment, E-FVG does not conduct the scoring assessment on its client companies. The analysis is handled exclusively by highly experienced evaluators who consistently effect a totally independent and unbiased investment rating analysis and subsequent Score assignment, for each client company seeking funding.

Once the company seeking funding has undergone the requisite investment rating analysis and been assigned their Score, E-FVG can then effectively manage the syndication process for the client, targeting investors in the network with “PINPOINT ACCURACY”, thereby GREATLY ENHANCING the odds of quickly finding a very receptive investor. E-FVG manages syndication to investors that are directly linked into the web-based syndication platform, while broadening that reach by pushing “qualified” deals to its “off-platform” network of registered investment brokers, who have their own private investor networks. While any company assigned a Score can be promoted manually to investors within the online syndication platform, only those companies with a Score of 400 or higher, are “qualified” for syndication via the formal "Syndication Desk.” Below is a snapshot of what a Client Company Profile looks like to the investors in the network, who are using the advanced deal filtering features of the online platform, to find suitable investments quickly and efficiently.

As the DemoCorp listing shown above illustrates, investors have a very sophisticated “Instant Synopsis” of the potential deal before even looking at a business plan or executive summary. The very first thing their eyes will focus on is the investment rating Score of the company shown in the Light Blue Box, which, in this example, is showing a Score of “415.” Once that number is within their preferred range, the investor then immediately looks to the far left of the screen at Green Horizontal Bar, the showing the “Deal Relevancy”, which is the degree to which the specifics of the deal matches their (the individual investor's) specific investment criteria.

This relevancy is aptly expressed as a PERCENTAGE, whereby the Higher the percentage value, the closer the match. If the investor is happy with the deal relevancy percentage, he or she will then go to the “ ” link to the right under the heading “Documents”, which will provide them with a 2-page summary of the answers which the company provided to the questions, that are the basis upon which the Investment Rating assessment and score assignment is done. If upon reviewing the Fast Facts document they determine that they have significant interest in the company's funding request (the “Deal”), then the investor will use the other links to download the company's Executive Summary, Business Plan, Financials and Investor Presentation files if provided. Obviously, a company which does not have those documents available when an investor's interest is piqued, is severely hampering their chances of retaining that investor's interest and possibly achieving a timely closing. Options exist for including Video Pitch presentations of varying lengths. These have become very popular with the investors in our network as they like the ability to “size-up” the principal as a person and evaluate their comfort level with their venture, before committing to making direct personal contact. The investors will be disappointed if a company has not seen it fit to afford them that

luxury, but it does not mean they will just dismiss the investment opportunity.

While there is a cost attached to obtaining the investment rating Score, having the presentation videos recorded at the Florida-based studio and retaining E-FVG as Administrator of your company's Funding Placement Program, such an expenditure is highly justified, in the same way that having a truly professional Business Plan or Regulation D Private Placement Memorandum prepared, are considered important and invaluable steps in the funding process. The reality is, however, that a business plan and/or private placement memorandum is only the beginning of the funding journey for companies that are serious about securing funding in the short term rather than the long term. When a company is seeking millions of dollars in funding and is trying to get their investment opportunity before the eyes of “highly qualified” and “closely matched” investors, paying a few thousand dollars for the benefit of tapping into an advanced investment syndication system such as we offer and retaining the services of a dedicated Syndication Administration Consultant to manage the process, all combined with highly targeted exposure to a network of over 800 Private HNWI Angel Investors and another 2000+ Institutional Investors, is without question a very prudent investment indeed.

Please note, however, that it is NOT mandatory for a company to obtain an investment rating Score for their investment/funding request deal to be added to the online syndication platform, since E-FVG can manually distribute “No Score” deals to selected investors in the online network. However, 99.9% of investors in the online network will have little or no interest in considering investment in a company, which, having been shown the value of the Scoring system and its importance to the investors in saving them valuable time, refuses to look out for the investors' interest by making the requisite investment to obtain a rating Score. E-FVG therefore, will only entertain funding placement program clients who are prepared to utilize the system to maximum advantage.

The above screenshot illustrates the power of the system in allowing E-FVG to quickly identify which Angel Groups, Private Equity Groups, Venture Capital Firms etc. are a “high percentage” deal relevancy match for each deal it is seeking to place. Your E-FVG Syndication Administration Consultant simply has to select which entities have the highest deal relevancy percentage and forward the deals to their attention with a standard cover note. The deals then automatically appear in the “Inbox” of the targeted investors for immediate review. As you can clearly see, we are able to select a specific category of investor (eg. Angel Groups) and the system automatically references the investment criteria of all investors in that category and compares it to the profile of the Company Funding Request which is being syndicated, immediately displaying the deal relevancy percentage for all investors listed in the category.

Needless to say a great deal of time and effort has gone into the development of this powerful deal syndication platform and it is constantly being enhanced. No other deal syndication platform in existence comes close to matching the potency of this system, especially when it comes to the number of individual and institutional investors which have wholeheartedly embraced the system as their first point of reference for quality deal-flow. If you are indeed very serious about securing timely funding for your company, this is the solution you need to access and E-FVG is your corporate “Syndication Concierge” par excellence.
