Late-stage venture capital can be an attractive asset class for sophisticated, long-term investors seeking higher incremental yields than alternative public asset classes.

Webster Investment Advisors partners with Advanced Equities, Inc., to deliver Private Equity Late-Stage Venture Capital to clients interested in further diversification of their investments.

Private Equity Late-Stage Venture Capital

Advanced Equities, Inc. is an Advanced Equities Financial Corp. company, is a boutique investment bank that specializes in private, late-stage equity finance for the U.S. technology sector. We believe that recent market trends and the increased cost of going public have created a void between a company's traditional early-stage VC funding and the amount of capital required to build a competitive position and become a successful public company. We fill that void by financing late-stage, venture capital backed companies. We invest as a strategic partner with some of the leading venture capital firms, working to build and realize maximum shareholder value.

AEI is focused on maximizing late-stage opportunities in emerging technology markets that fulfill the following criteria:
» Deliver or invent disruptive technologies that may address large market opportunities
» Offer solutions that have been recognized for fulfilling mandated technology demands
» Work with industry leaders as the provider of a significant technology

AEI provides growth capital on terms that are attractive to portfolio companies and their venture backers, as well as to sophisticated, high-net-worth investors. Through our relationships with some of the world's leading venture capital firms, whose technology acumen is well-established, we can offer the high-net-worth individual and family office access to what we believe are some of the most coveted investment opportunities available today in emerging technology companies.

Why Late-Stage Venture Capital?

Late-stage venture capital can be an attractive asset class for sophisticated, long-term investors seeking higher incremental yields than alternative public asset classes. Because going public now requires higher valuations than ever before (due in part to regulatory constraints and market-to-market issues), today's technology companies are choosing to gain critical mass before entering the public domain, pushing high-growth investment opportunities to the final rounds of private venture capital finance. Advanced Equities bridges this gap between traditional early-stage venture capital and the public markets. We provide sophisticated investors with access to the technology sector's elusive late-stage, VC-backed investments.

They may be subject to special risks including illiquidity of the investment and volatility and should only be considered for long term investments. No investment will be accepted before qualification of the investor as an accredited investor, receipt of a private placement memorandum and completion of subscription documents. An investment in private equity is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investor must be prepared to withstand the possibility of a total loss of their investment. There is no assurance that a portfolio strategy of private equity investments will be successful. With a portfolio of privately-held companies, investors must understand the significant risks associated with the underlying securities including the illiquid nature of such holdings.
