Venture Capital
And Commercial Equity Funding

Venture Capital is particularly for situations where a business is not likely to get funding from traditional sources and could with sufficient financing, yield great  returns in a short amount of time for funding sources.

Venture capital is risk capital. Because venture capital funding sources are looking for unusually high profitability, this form of equity funding is difficult for most businesses to obtain. They simply cannot meet the potential financial requirements of most venture capitalists. Even if they did, most entrepreneurs usually lack the ability by themselves to "an open door".

The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates there are approximately 22.9 million small businesses in the United States. Only a few ever are recognized by the institutional venture capitalists.

Of the applicants that tap the venture capital process, about half get lackluster results or totally fail; while almost all of the other half produce 20-25% annual returns -  if they are lucky. Venture sources want much better results from their "winners". This is why less than 1% of all applicants to traditional "venture" capital sources ever get any institutional money!

Many businesses with funding needs that cannot easily be met through traditional sources turn to professional resources for help. Direct Capital Connection acts as a contact  intermediary to put you squarely in the "open door".  Our contacts are far reaching and so is our expertise.

Luckily, institutional venture capitalists are not the only source of equity funding. Roughly 90% of venture funding gets done through other resources. Locating these resources on your own is time consuming, and getting them to agree to look at your executive summary or business plan can be nearly impossible, without an introduction. (Unsolicited business plans and executive summaries are usually tossed out or returned without being read.) If you do get a funding source to look at your executive summary or plan, all your efforts will be in vain if you do not present your "story" in a way that makes the funding source want to open their wallet.

The help we offer depends on your company's condition, needs, and profit potential. On a very basic level, we give companies our opinion on what must be done or changed to acquire the equity funding they are seeking. In many cases we also help businesses find the funding that they need to take their business where they want it to go. We could potentially help your company in similar ways.
