Advanced Equities Financial Corp.

Late-Stage Venture Capital

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. 

AEI is focused on maximizing late-stage opportunities in emerging technology markets that fulfill the following criteria: 

· Deliver or invent disruptive technologies that may address large market opportunities

· Offer solutions that have been recognized for fulfilling mandated technology demands

· Work with industry leaders as the provider of a significant technology

AEI provides growth capital on terms that are attractive to portfolio companies and their venture backers, as well as to sophisticated, high-net-worth investors. Through our relationships with some of the world's leading venture capital firms, whose technology acumen is well-established, we can offer the high-net-worth individual and family office access to what we believe are some of the most coveted investment opportunities available today in emerging technology companies. 

Why Late-Stage Venture Capital?

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.
