Venture Catalyst Finance Inc. ("VCF") is committed to identifying and "accelerating" growth opportunities by partnering primarily with emerging information technology companies. VCF places a special emphasis on intelligent software solutions for the investment management and financial services sector. VCF offers a broad array of advisory services including corporate finance, strategic planning, and business development. VCF’s primary focus is to act as a strategic business partner and fiduciary executive advisor.
VCF's Mission
Given that speed to market is critical to the success of a company, it is important to leverage VCF’s outside experience, contacts and credibility in order to "accelerate" the process. VCF’s strategic participation allows the entrepreneurial team to remain focused on mission critical operational aspects of the business including product development, branding, financing and team-building. Also, it is equally critical not to repeat the same mistakes of those companies that have failed. Mistakes can be very costly and missed opportunities do not present themselves again especially with important stakeholders such as investors, strategic partners and key customers.
VCF's Strategic Participation
VCF was created after a niche was identified in the marketplace. Emerging growth companies need a strategic partner which understands a “blue chip” corporate mindset to compliment the dynamism of an entrepreneurial team. An entrepreneur typically is an individual who “thinks outside the box” while a traditional executive is someone who looks for business models. VCF helps bridge the gap by re-engineering the business and strategic plan in accordance with the mindset of a corporate executive. Meanwhile, enabling the entrepreneurial team the freedom to operate with creativity and flexibility inherent in a rapid growth situation. Creating the right type of strategy is an integral part of VCF’s approach to successful business ventures.
