Infusion Capital Management LLC says it plans to focus its efforts on the financing needs of mezzanine-stage growth companies. Todd Spehler, the company’s founder believes that companies classified as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) present excellent investment opportunities. Since these same companies often find it exceedingly difficult to secure growth capital Infusion Capital Management hopes to fill this void.
Spehler says Infusion has so far focused on identifying and developing companies with leading edge technology in either information technology or biotechnology and biomedical fields, and can look back on a history of past successful ventures in both areas. Infusion has launched over two dozen companies, raised over a billion dollars for portfolio companies, and has taken seven of companies public.
“We have been quite successful in identifying interesting technologies and companies that would benefit from an infusion of capital as well as professional business support services,” says Spehler, CEO as welll as founder of Infusion Capital Management, LLC. “Our model has always been to help companies beyond just raising capital. We assist in every way possible to ensure that the company has all of the resources necessary to become successful.”
Recently Infusion Capital Management, LLC secured a round of mezzanine financing for an emerging Internet Comparison Shopping Search Engine. Infusion also was able to identify and provide senior management expertise while the company conducted an executive search for a permanent President/CEO. It is Infusion Capital Management’s objective to join in a partnership with scientists, entrepreneurs, founders and management of founding portfolio companies. Infusion aims to provide business and management expertise, provide the necessary initial working capital, and help raise higher-valuation follow-on rounds of financing. The company believes that it can add substantial value to its portfolio companies through the exceptional start-up management skills of its principals.
“To date we have been very strong with Information Technology and Biotechnology companies. It is our intention to expand our model into other industries. New companies are contacting us daily. We anticipate that we will identify a number of new companies that could benefit from our services,” stated Spehler.
