Financing Entrepreneurial Excellence

Working with Us

Working with Us

Early Stage Partners is an early stage venture capital firm. We typically invest in equity securities (usually convertible preferred) in "C" corporations. We do not offer other financial products.

We are delighted to receive executive summary and business plan submissions in the following formats:

  • Microsoft Word & Excel
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • PowerPoint

We prefer e-mail.

Non-Disclosure Agreements
We regret that we cannot sign non-disclosure agreements until we begin due diligence on a company. We receive hundreds of business plans and see many opportunities in similar and related markets. Materials submitted to us will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Thank you for understanding.

Recommendation
Your business plan should be no more than twenty-five pages and should include the following sections (not necessarily in this order).

    • Executive Summary: two to four pages
    • Company Strategy
    • Products, Technology, Services
    • Revenue Model
    • Market Analysis
    • Competitive Analysis
    • Customer Analysis
    • Company History, Structure, Capitalization
    • Management Biographies
    • Financial History/Forecast

 

 The easier your plan is to read and understand, the more likely it is to get our attention.
