Success Stories
We consistently review and update our primary metrics (cumulative since ’93):
- New business formations: 117
- Funding events: more than $1.19 billion
- Job creation: more than 13,500
Since clients do not pay fees or compensation to TVC of any kind, these are TVC’s primary success metrics. Return on our invested time with clients is paramount. While we’d like to help as many entrepreneurs as we can, we are selective and look for those with commercialization potential—that means evaluating many of the same criteria that investors use (team, technology, pain, market size, customer traction, etc.). Since we work with early stage companies, we select clients based on their potential, and help entrepreneurs drive toward each milestone. When they line up with what investors have told us they’re seeking, we’ll make the introduction.
Berken Energy Advances With $250,000
September 21, 2010
Congratulations to Berken Energy LLC who has raised $250,000 from Gandy Marley, Inc. Both are located in Roswell, New Mexico. “The capital raise has allowed us to go into our commercialization phase and has got us closer to manufacturing our first few commercial application projects,” said Ken Newman, co-founder and CEO. Berken Energy is on a path to fast track its Reclaimed Thermovoltaic Systems to generate electricity from waste heat. Mr. Newman was a presenter at the 2010 Technology Ventures Equity Capital Symposium held last May.
