Our Process
GSA meets monthly as a group to hear presentations from companies
seeking early-stage or seed investment. Our objective is to help
talented entrepreneurs build lasting businesses of significant value,
and to participate as active investors in those businesses. Contact
with GSA should initially be made through our Executive Director,
who will review business plans and provide a first round of due
diligence. The Executive Director recommends appropriate plans to
the group, which then decides whether there is sufficient interest
for the applicant to be invited to make a presentation at one of
our meetings.
Following a presentation, the GSA will provide feedback about the
business plan. If a presentation generates enough interest, a member
or members of the group will lead a due diligence effort. They may
also offer suggestions on filling out the management team, help
to develop financing strategies, and make key contacts for strategic
partnerships.
GSA is not formally organized to make investments as a group. Investment
decisions are made by individual members. Occasionally, a sub-set
of the group will form an entity through which an investment is
made, depending on the structure of the transaction.
Contact Us to submit a request
to make a presentation at one of our monthly meetings.
