Raising Capital

If you are trying to raise capital or sell your company, we know how frustrating it is when people let you down; when they don't do what they say they are going to do. Every day we hear the stories from entrepreneurs and companies that have gone through the frustration. When we agree to work with you to help you to invest in your business, we know how important it is to your business. We've "been there" and seen how many times capital is the one limiting factor to a breakthrough success. You have a great business model, your operations are finely tuned, and the missing ingredient is the funding to put you over the top. That's why CNP AKAMA Ventures has been successful. Our team has been helping companies just like yours for over twenty years, start ups, established companies, even multi-billion dollar global enterprises.

With our vast network of resources that we can draw on, we're confident that we can help take a great idea and make it an even better business. Our principals are seasoned global executives with decades of experience in leading and building organizations, and raising capital. We have participated in the financing/investment of over $100,000,000 of business capital for organizations of all sizes, for businesses as varied as commercial real estate, video delivery systems, retail shopping centers, gas stations, manufacturing plants, consumer marketing companies, the automotive industry and of course, the online world.
Our managing partners have spent time with such prestigious organizations as ADP, Satyam, Metamor, New World SystemsGE, ShopNBC and others in both domestic and international roles. We bring a unique operational and business perspective to the organizations we work with. We have worked in the trenches and understand that as a business owner, you do whatever needs to be done, whenever it needs doing. We have a unique perspective on what it takes to be successful in not only a US-market, but a global one as well. We've arranged mergers and divestitures, raised capital internally and externally, and provide a wealth of management advice to organizations throughout the country.
We don't take on just anyone as a client. We have a rigorous client selection process that ensures that we represent only the best of the best.
