The Vineyard Group
Alternative Funding for Technology Companies
Fund Your Growth | Keep Control of Your Vision | Maximize Equity Value
Not every entrepreneur needs to be beholden to the venture capital industry to achieve success. For many founders, tying their future to a limited investor ecosystem may actually do more harm than good, especially when their vision diverges from their investors’ interests and beliefs. If professional venture firms may not be a good fit for you, The Vineyard Group offers time-tested and proven alternatives that funds your growth, diversifies your shareholder base, opens many new sources of future funding, and allows you to execute your vision with freedom and flexibility. We act as both principals and trusted advisors.
Our Funding Processes
​
​
Our processes are designed to provide the management teams we work with the capital they need to fund their growth, while retaining substantial ownership and control at the same time, through an Alternative Public Offering (APO). An Alternative Public Offering is a cheaper, faster and more efficient source of capital compared with the traditional IPO and has many benefits:
​
​
-
Enhances valuation through transparency, liquidity and broad shareholder base;
​
-
Creates a new exit route for the principals;
​
-
Creates an attractive currency to use for acquisitions;
​
-
Provides transparent equity incentives for employees and management;
​
-
Grants early introductions to Institutional Investors; and
​
-
Creates substantial financing opportunities – as a public company with audited financials, the universe of potential investors is substantially enhanced.
