Rainmaker
Our primary goal with any
start-up is to aim for sustainable profitability from
launch. To achieve this, we only support business models,
which entail the supply of product or service in return for
direct payment by the customer.
We jointly review all the
potential customer, supplier, worker and investor
relationships to see how best to construct the virtual
scalable supply chain on a just-in-time, pay-as-you-go basis.
This enables us to minimize
the amount of start-up funding required and to reduce the
risks associated with the venture.
However we do encourage the
participation of investors from an early stage in order to
fund further development and working capital requirements in
situations of rapid growth.
With
respect to initial seed funding, we mostly use our own network
of angel friends. For First and Second Round funding, we work
either through associate corporate finance boutiques or
directly with venture capitalists who understand the
complexities of e-Business.
