Since its founding, Capstone has launched a large number of promising startup companies. We often get involved with promising entrepreneurs at the concept stage when an idea for a great business is little more than some scribbles on a napkin, or a rough Powerpoint presentation hastily prepared for potential investors.

If we share the entrepreneur's vision, we will help make that vision for a business a reality by helping entrepreneurs formulate and refine their business models and plans, and by making timely introductions to angel investors, venture capitalists and potential strategic partners. We closely advise our entrepreneur clients on company valuations and other important deal points during the funding process, and then assist them in negotiating and closing their fundings on advantageous terms.

Our focus is on assisting our client companies close funding deals as quickly and as efficiently as possible, so that they can spend more of their time and energy building their businesses rather than fundraising. We can often substantially accelerate the funding process through our contacts and working relationships with angel and venture investors.

Of course, we also handle all of the associated legal work, such as entity formation, issuance of founder's stock, creation of a capital structure that is amenable to outside funding, adoption of a stock option that facilitates hiring of key personnel, and the closing of sales of preferred stock to investors. We will draft and negotiate non-disclosure agreements with potential investors and business partners, and confidentiality agreements for your potential and existing employees to sign.
