I invest personally in some ventures and I may refer (at no cost o the entrepreneur) them to company in California with greater resources. My background is in accounting (so your projections should demonstrate your solid understanding of the economics of your business and how it will succeed), the financial industry (banking and mortgage) and consulting. I have started a company from the ground up (been through the PPM process a few times) and been a part of a team that has grown a company rapidly and sustained that growth over years. I've been on both sides of mergers and acquisitions. I've experienced what it takes to succeed and managed through some difficult situations. I'm looking for companies with a strong core team, proven track record or can provide proof of concept (orders, contracts, LOI's, prototypes, etc) and have a innovative product/solution/approach that has tremendous upside potential. You need to be beyond the "idea" stage.
