Strategic Funding

Investment Banking Services
Behr & Associates has strong relationships with numerous technology financial institutions and investors in North America. Whether it be technology venture capital, senior debt instruments, high net worth individuals/angels, international investors, and/or introductions to government agencies for programs and grants, Behr & Associates has the extensive network to get its client firms in front of the relevant financial people. In Canada, Behr & Associates Inc. is a Registered Limited Market Dealer with the Ontario Securities Commission, the local Government Financial Regulatory Board, and a Registered Federal Lobbyist with the Canadian federal government.

To be successful in funding a promising Cleantech or Information Technology firm in today's austere environment, one must take a new approach towards capitalization. An amalgam of government funding and grants, debentures, private/angel capital, focused institutional/VC funds, and organic revenue are proving to be the best formula for assuring a company's ongoing financial health.

Behr & Associates works very closely with the client Board and Ownerships to determine the most appropriate mix of sources of capital. We focus on minimization of dilution from the existing shareholders, while maximizing any opportunity for funds/grants, and access to relevant focused debt and equity instruments. Our team of experts and partners determine each client's local situation and opportunities, makes the appropriate introductions, helps negotiate the best terms, and closes the funds in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner possible.
