Business

I have heard this "problem" stated several times from private equity investors angel investment groups over this past year, "We are just not seeing any good deals lately."  The Halo Group, an Indianapolis-based angel investment group focusing on emerging technology companies, canceled its March meeting due to a stated lack of deal flow. 

Halo members, like most private equity investors, want to invest in businesses with proven markets and executives.  They, like most investment groups, also want to see a revenue stream before they will cut a check.

My firm works with a number of businesses seeking funding.  I believe we go miles further than most law firms in helping companies pursue funding because we get involved in improving business and capital models and leadership coaching - not just drafting investment documents.  We have helped six clients obtain funding so far in 2010.  

If the problem is in fact a lack of good deals - this should create an opportunity for better business models to pursue funding.  Now is the time to strike.  Now is the time to revise and revamp your business model to create a "good plan" that investors want to see.
