Advanced Equities, Inc., an Advanced Equities Financial Corp. company, is a boutique investment bank that specializes in private, late-stage equity finance for the U.S. technology sector. We believe that recent market trends and the increased cost of going public have created a void between a company's traditional early-stage VC funding and the amount of capital required to build a competitive position and become a successful public company. We fill that void by financing late-stage, venture capital backed companies. We invest as a strategic partner with some of the leading venture capital firms, working to build and realize maximum shareholder value. Late-stage venture capital can be an attractive asset class for sophisticated, long-term investors seeking higher incremental yields than alternative public asset classes. Because going public now requires higher valuations than ever before (due in part to regulatory constraints and market-to-market issues), today’s technology companies are choosing to gain critical mass before entering the public domain, pushing high-growth investment opportunities to the final rounds of private venture capital finance. Advanced Equities bridges this gap between traditional early-stage venture capital and the public markets. We provide sophisticated investors with access to the technology sector’s elusive late-stage, VC-backed investments. Advanced Equities believes that today’s opportunity for attaining attractive, risk-adjusted investment returns lies in private, late-stage venture capital investments in emerging disruptive technologies. Our investments have been instrumental in bringing many such groundbreaking technologies to market, including: For more information, please contact us or review our completed offerings.
