Understanding how the ATMOSA® equity investment process works and about submitting your business proposal and ideas
Equity investment or venture capital financing is the money that ATMOSA® may provide for a percentage of ownership in your company. In exchange for our capital investment, we may require a board position and possibly a consulting relationship.
The primary objective of our equity investment is to achieve superior rates of return through timely disposal of our investments. Structuring the relationship carefully is the most important step in the process. Our return objectives and exit strategy depend greatly upon the industry and business. Securities, either common or preferred stock with certain rights such as anti-dilution provisions will be the foundation of any transaction.
Special liquidation preferences with convertible debt may also solidify our exit strategy. Most of all, your business plan should define the reason for financing, how the capital will be spent and the future plans for venture capital funding or for going public.
