Current Company CEO's and CFO's

With private company operational experience, and decades of experience working with executives, investors, and board members of private technology companies, we understand the needs and motivations of CEOs and CFOs. We also understand the factors facing a diverse private company shareholder base. All too often, this type of shareholder base can suffer differing goals amongst investors. This divergence of investor alignment can impair value creation for all stakeholders by challenging the ability of management to optimally build and operate the business.

If a meaningful segment of your investors want to invest in the business for organic or inorganic growth, yet others view the time for an exit is now, your company’s value will be compromised. Delta-v can replace a syndicate partner who needs liquidity and transform a dead shareholder position into one that has the vitality of both expertise and additional capital. Unlike many secondary investors, we allocate reserves for each company we invest in, and are regarded as value-added investors that will support management’s future growth.

For a company with a broad shareholder base, Delta-v can serve the role as an arms-length evaluator and investor to lead a recapitalization or restructure financing alongside your supportive insiders. Normally, when one or more existing investors are unwilling to participate in a round of financing, all shareholders feel more comfortable with a new unbiased third party setting the price and terms of investment. Most lead investors in this situation will require a significant investment position. We work adeptly with existing inside investors and are comfortable leading and pricing a round while playing for a modest investment ourselves. Further, unlike most secondary investors, we are experienced primary investors. Hence, we are accustomed to reserving capital for future investment after a secondary purchase, and prefer to make subsequent investments in companies that we’ve worked with over time. As experienced primary venture investors, we have been routinely told that our expertise, guidance, and industry contacts are helpful to CEOs and CFOs as they build their business.
