Entrepreneurs
Financial Resources
Spencer Trask offers an alternative to the institutional venture capital pool (i.e. typical VC funds). Our network approach provides entrepreneurs with a diversified shareholder base, fast decisions, value-added support, and the insights of successful entrepreneurs and executives.
Typically, entrepreneurs spend months trying to raise venture capital, a painful process that steals precious time away from building. We deliver efficiently and quickly through our Network of CEOs, corporate investors, institutions and high net worth individuals.
With thousands of accredited investors in the Spencer Trask Network, the amount of private equity that we have access to is more than you will ever need.
We Fund Missions with World-Changing Potential
We have flipped the venture capital model of raising money. In contrast to the institutional venture funds that raise passive money from pension funds and endowments, our network of accredited investors work with Spencer Trask Ventures to choose appropriate investment opportunities. Our model helps ensure that our primary focus is on building successful companies.
We work hard to identify big ideas. Then, before we invite others to invest in your company, we step in, as the lead investor. We then work with entrepreneurs to assess the range and prioritization of an early-stage company’s needs.
We then tap into the Spencer Trask Network for investors that have interest or relevant experience in a particular niche. As a result, entrepreneurs develop an investor base who shares the same mission. We also encourage them to provide insights that may accelerate the growth and success of our venture companies.
