Venture Capital & Emerging Growth

In order to keep up with emerging technology, we need to be equally agile and nimble-minded. Our attorneys provide a broad range of services in this area. We represent companies in negotiating and closing debt, as well as equity venture capital transactions nationwide—from the Northeast to Silicon Valley.

Another contributing factor to our expertise in this area is Incutate—a business counseling and incubator company we formed to provide counseling, advice, and support to start-up and emerging growth companies in the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey region. Incutate assists companies in raising debt and equity financing and has been highly successful in introducing companies to customers, strategic partners, and key vendors.

 

In addition, Incutate offers consulting services to universities and business incubators to help support their efforts and to provide guidance in technology development and transfer. For instance, Incutate was initially retained by Rowan University in 2010 to provide business and mentoring services to companies in Rowan’s Technology Center in Mullica Hill, New Jersey.
