History: Karen, known inside IBM as "the Deal Maker", left IBM in 2001 to catch the dot.com wave of a terrific start up and began her REAL education on the venture capital formation market. Launched Kugarand Holdings in August of 2001 initially as a finder for Venture Capital firms. Kugarand Holdings evolved into a full service provider for start up and early stage companies seeking venture capital and angel investor capital that may come in the way of debt or equity. We do this through 3 key initiatives: NBAI, (www.nbai.net) a membership community for accredited investors to come together in a social environment and look at alternative investments and private equity investments to gain a greater yield; LAUNCHfn to work with companies to ensure they are seeking the right kind of business capital for their stage of business; and KYRMedia to deliver necessary education products and our own angel investor training, to the marketplace for entrepreneurs and investors. We are launching Our Funding Planet to eliminate the inefficiency investors experience in identifying, investigating and investing in early stage companies. |
