Sometimes a great idea needs a little help

Pitch Capital is an innovative service that takes great web and tech ideas and turns them into business plans that get the attention of venture capital and angel investors.

We’ve started our own very successful web ventures, we’re investors in several others, and we come from a finance background. We know what investors are looking for in this economy.

If you’re looking for early-stage funding, you need to present a compelling plan in a language investors can understand. We’ve done that, we know how to do that, and we can do it for you. We have reasonable rates and in some cases will take equity as a portion of our fee.

If you have a great idea, we’d love to hear about it. Contact us.

Being an savvy entrepreneur in a tricky economy

The financial markets have broken down, yet the world is looking to startups and entrepreneurs to fuel the next wave of economic growth.  There’s money out there for good teams with executable business goals.

If you are an internet or tech entrepreneur with a small team assembled or are working on a great idea that you are interested in raising capital for, contact us.   We work with seed and early-stage companies launching or expanding their web-based service to consumers or small businesses. We roll our sleeves up to understand your business.  We ask you and help you establish the answers to the questions that VC’s ask, before they ask.

More than plans & spreadsheets

Pitch Capital works with entrepreneurs to fine tune their good ideas into fundable companies.   We can often see things clearer than entrepreneurs as far as what makes their company attractive.  

We  develop powerful executive summaries, advise on valuations and typical funding term sheets, research and apply accurate revenue projections, build custom pro-forma financial statements, conduct extensive market research on competitors, the funding landscape, future client base, construct solid pricing models and understand best industry practices, and create attention-grabbing pitch presentations …… as well as drafting complete business plans.
