Compassionate Capitalism – Starting a business – Investing in Innovation
Compassionate Capitalism occurs when people invest their expertise, time, money and resources into entrepreneurial endeavors to bring innovation to the market, create jobs and create wealth. It is only when start up companies get to market and become successful, growing into thriving profitable business do we get sustained economic growth. There are so many programs to help entrepreneurs become successful, so why is starting a business so hard and why do so many fail?
Karen, known inside IBM as “the Deal Maker”, left IBM in 2001 to catch the dot.com wave of a terrific start up and began her REAL education on the venture capital formation market. Launched Kugarand Capital Holdings in August of 2001 initially as a finder for Venture Capital firms. Kugarand Capital Holdings evolved into a full service provider for start up and early stage companies seeking angel investors and venture capital that may come in the way of debt or equity. We do this through these key initiatives: Capital Mastery Program to equip entrepreneurs with the skills necessary to raise a seed round and to manage the capital formation process successfully; Capital Strategy and Formation Services, and Investment Banking Services. The brand that most of these services are provided through is the Launch Funding Network, or LAUNCHfn.
