Raising Outside Capital
You may be able to self-finance the launch of a new business. You may have sufficient funding for an initial stage of writing a business plan, assembling management team, and developing a prototype product. However, you will likely come to a point where you cannot maximize your sales revenue, develop your products and services and fully utilize your technology without raising outside capital. When the time is right, Axcension will ensure that you have the appropriate amount and type of funding to develop and grow rapidly.

Financing the Right Amount
Axcension understands that your company should raise the appropriate amount of outside capital that will enable your company to meet its next milestone or fund a specific upcoming project without unduly diluting your ownership or saddling your company with too much debt. Getting started, your company may only need a small amount of “seed” money from angels or venture capitalists. In the first round of venture capital financing, Axcension will help you determine what amount of funding would be sufficient to fund product development or other current projects. Axcension will present you and your company to our network of investors and lenders who are able to provide you the funding you need. At each successive round of funding, Axcension will work with you to obtain the funding you need to reach your next milestone of your business plan or to adapt to changed market conditions, while maintaining control of your business.

Financing from the right source
Axcension will help you select the right investor or lender. For start-up companies, Axcension will work with angels investors such as successful entrepreneurs with self-generated wealth in a related industry. Axcension will help you find angel investors who understand the merits and weaknesses of your business plan. Axcension and its network of angel investors can be invaluable in helping you pull together the company and in introducing you to the venture capital community.
Axcension will work with you to ensure that you are obtaining capital from the right source. Axcension will find investors who know your industry, product and market. Axcension and its network of investors and lenders will help you launch your business by not only bringing you funding, but also the know how and experience that you may initially lack.
Axcension will research all your potential investors to see who they have invested with in the past and how those investments have performed. Partners who've made successful investments in the past will likely invest together again.

Venture Capitalists
Axcension understands that most venture capitalists want to invest in a company in a large and growing market where there is a demonstrable need for the precise product the company plans to develop. Some venture capitalists prefer to take a technology risk that a product might not be developed rather than take a market risk that there is no market for the product. Axcension will help you determine if there is a market for your product. Then, Axcension’s team of product development specialists will help you eliminate the technology risk by fully developing your product.

Corporate Partners
Axcension understands that a strategic alliance with a larger corporation can accelerate your growth by providing you an established manufacturing or distribution infrastructure, credibility, influence and immediate access to domestic and international customers. Axcension will counsel you about the advantages and disadvantages of forming such a strategic alliance. If you are considering a strategic alliance, Axcension will negotiate and structure the partnership arrangement to ensure the ongoing success of your business, your continued control of your company, and to ensure that the arrangement provides your business with the resources it needs to grow.

Initial Public Offering
When your company has established a track record of growth and profits and a strong management team, Axcension can help your company go public. Axcension will help you make the decision to go public by analyzing the market factors, your company’s revenue and profitability rate, your projections for future revenue and profit and the receptivity of the securities market.
A successful IPO would enable your company to raise a larger amount of capital at a higher valuation than it could obtain from private investors because “public” shares can be freely resold. Going public also can boost your company’s sales and marketing by increasing your company’s visibility.
