Revised: Financing Sources

When looking for an appropriate financier for my start up company, I came across the Chesapeake Emerging Opportunities Club. From their website: "The Club was formed for accredited investors and institutions in the Central Maryland area who are seeking active involvement in the investment decision process and in portfolio companies." Normally, I feel I would not seek an angel investor, but this club includes investors from all different backgrounds, including food services, which is closely related to my business.

Here is the contact information I found:

Tara Greenbaum
443-367-0101
tarag@ecapitalllc.com

office:

9256 Bendix Road
Suite 300
Columbia, MD 21045
443-367-0101


The Chesapeake Emerging Opportunities Club has only invested in 6 companies to date, mostly high tech firms. Three they have invested in are: Cylex, Inc., Service Bench, Inc., and Naviscan.

Another company I found was Entertainment Concepts Investors, Inc., the restaurant and club division of the Cordish companies. They are located at:

601 East Pratt St., 6th Floor
Baltimore, MD 21202

410-752-5444

David S. Cordish, Chairman

  1. Not good enough--you need to get specific person's name or assignment is not complete. Also, it would be interesting to know if the SBA could be helpful with guaranteeing the loan from these banks or with providing assistance.

    I will not grade this, please revise and re-submit for next week.

  2. That's a good one--can you list 3 companies that received investment from this source? Would be good to have one of those be in a similar business. Also, you were asked to list two financing sources. I will not grade this, please revise and re-submit for next week.
