The Entree Venture Network is a unique association of angel investors, executives and specialty executive service firms offering representative capability to clients with Fortune 500 and International markets. Contracting with executives having angel funding experience and relationships with angel investors, target accounts and markets provides clients an effective and reasonable cost approach to business growth objectives without the attenuate overhead and organizational fixed cost burden. MOST BUSINESS MODELS ARE FLAWED Over the past six years our network has reviewed over 26,000 business plans and models. As everyone knows very few plans ever get funded. In addition to management there are several critical areas usually overlooked in the angel funding and capital effort. Support for the assumptions upon which the plan is based or a lack of credible assumptions and execution strategies lie at the base of most decisions not to support a certain model. Not simply itemizing the risks, but executing mitigation initiatives to reduce those risks are key. Our top executive business development talent works on behalf of our clients beginning several efforts at one time providing a reduction in time-to-results over the in-house ramp-up approach. Whether the mission is sales revenue growth from a specific account or market sector, or the underpinning of the plan or model with supportable value initiatives, The Entree Venture Network is organized to provide rapid critical mass access and penetration for your funding needs, product or service. |

The Entree Network frequently provides angel investors, partner angel investors, and other angel investors in the United States and internationally to clients. We often solicit outside angel investors to join us in supporting a technology or business services company. We know many angel investors and our associates are active in numerous angel investing organizations.
Professional venture capital firms invest about $12 billion a year in helping start and develop businesses. Angel investors invest $60 billion a year. However, angel investors throughout the United States provide more than money. They bring experience, enthusiasm, knowledge and contacts to the table.
The angel investors we work with frequently are successful entrepreneurs who have "been there, done that" and who want to pursue another success but do so at arm's length. As such, they can be very valuable to an aspiring young company. Other angel investors include lawyers, accountants, and other accredited investors eager to participate in higher-risk, higher-return investment opportunities.
At Entree, we develop and nurture companies that are shaping the future by allowing them to tap our network of retired executives and angel investors. With an emphasis on early-stage investments, the network has assisted companies since 1994 and has served numerous innovative and market-leading enterprises.
If you are an angel investor looking to expand your network of relationships with venture capitalists or if you are a startup looking to partner with angel investors, please take the time to learn more about how The Entree Network can help.
