Growth Capital Investor’s monthly webinar series presents
The ‘Holy Grail’ for Micro-Cap CEOs & CFOs:
Knowing The Financing Terms… Long Before the Term Sheet Arrives
A former fund manager’s novel C-suite tool -- StreetCheck
October 10, 2013 2:00–3:00 pm EDT
Post-2008, the financing environment for micro-cap companies is very challenging to say the least. But, these 3 things needlessly complicate matters for CEOs and CFOs:
• Due to systemic conflicts of interest, it's virtually impossible for any micro-cap company to obtain objective, helpful guidance about its financing prospects;
• In contemplation of a financing, micro-cap management teams are often forced to simply speculate regarding what financing terms are likely, how much money they can realistically raise, and what steps can be taken to positively impact financing terms; and
• Even after finally securing a term sheet, CEOs and CFOs often struggle to garner board approval from directors given the disparate capital markets and corporate finance experience in many micro-cap boardrooms.
Until now. StreetCheck™ is the first ever C-suite tool for predicting and assessing financing terms, and it was developed by a veteran institutional investor who wrote the definitive book on small-cap capital markets and corporate finance.
StreetCheck is an innovative, cost-effective tool that for the first time empowers micro-cap companies with a timely assessment of a company's financeability that is 100% objective – it’s not from investment bankers, investors, or anyone who stands to benefit at all from your company’s financing.
StreetCheck is based upon an analysis of:
• A company’s most recent Form 10K, Form 10Q, and Form DEF14A;
• Recent quarterly results announcement;
• Macro markets/industry snapshot;
• Recent financings undertaken by similarly situated companies; and
• Management’s investor presentation.
Join us to get a closer look at how StreetCheck predicts and assesses financing terms. In fact, if you register by October 1, you can enter a drawing to have your company (anonymously) be the subject of the sample StreetCheck analysis during this webinar at no cost.*
