Robert Lynch & Associates, Inc. offers VentureForward, a unique business development program for startup and emerging companies seeking seed capital and early-stages of venture financing. The program is unique in that it focuses on maximizing the opportunities for capitalization; also, the majority of compensation is tied to the success of actual funding.

The VentureForward program is a non-exclusive arrangement. The client retains the option to pursue additional or alternative sources of financing on their own.

VentureForward provides:

• an objective evaluation of the client's business plan with a focus on clarity of mission, strategic assumptions, markets, competitive differentiation, the brand, operations, valuation, financial forecasts, and ROI
• a "devil's advocate" strategy session, where Robert Lynch assumes the role of a critical investor, challenging the management team to defend their business model, assumptions, valuation, and offer
• (if required) editing or refocusing the Plan to maximize investor interest and funding opportunities
  
• a review of the corporate identity, including the company name, logo, url, and other issues related to the visual brand; and if required, provides design or rework of the logo, recommendations regarding the company URL, and related services
  
• presentation coaching to maximize the impact, clarity, and effectiveness of the investor presentation

• identification of potential financing sources, including angel investors, venture capital firms, strategic partners, grant sources, and others

At the discretion of Robert Lynch & Associates, Inc, VentureForward may also provide:

• directly promoting a client's venture to potential financing sources
  
• facilitation of investor meetings
