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.

If you want to get our attention, please send us a short, focused cover e-mail with an Executive Summary or PowerPoint attached. If you know somebody who knows us, sending it through them will help you to stand out from the pack..

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
• Value Proposition
• 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.
