Angel or VC Firm
Chicago, IL

<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Today, entrepreneurial seed, start-up, and early-stage phases of development in need of a half million and up to $5 million to propel them into the next level of growth is a widely neglected area of investment. In 2011, only 6% of all funding was allocated to this "sweet spot," and this is where BVC makes its greatest impact for its investors and new vital technologies. With 94% of investment capital searching in other directions, the number of quality, undiscovered, breakthrough opportunities becomes a rather large pool of opportunity. This results in a lifeline at a critical stage for worthwhile entrepreneurs and multiple options with clearly-defined exit strategies for our investors.</div><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The firm is structured in a unique manner that affords high-net-worth investors two different ways to invest: direct ownership in the firm as an LLC member and/or investment in individual LLC deals that are presented to the BVC investor network. In this, BVC offers investors the widest flexibility for movement within their respective investment spaces.&nbsp;</div>
