Submitting a Plan

If you are interested in obtaining funding from Charis Capital Ventures, please submit a written business plan and full resumes (not single paragraph summaries) of key founders to Charis Capital Ventures at the address below. A template of key financial indicators we require may be printed out here. You may wish to complete the online submission form as an addition (not an alternative) to the written business plan.

A business plan should contain the following information:

• Investment Size and Structure Requested
  
• Description of the Product or Service
  
• Brief History of the Company
  
• Business and Marketing Strategy
  
• Analysis of the Market and the Competition
  
• Full Resumes of Key Management (Highlighting Industry and Market Expertise)
  
• Current Financial Statements and Projections
  
• Any Assumptions Used for Your Financial Projections
  

This document should be a working document for the company, used in long-term planning, and not simply a sales tool for fundraising. We prefer hard-copy business plans, in addition to e-mail submissions. It may take up to four weeks for us to get back to you because we review all submissions that we receive. Also, please remember that our area of focus is healthcare, life sciences, and the associated information technologies; we do not encourage submissions from industrial, consumer product, or real estate companies.

We do not sign NDAs. We receive so many plans, that if we signed every NDA request, we would quickly be swamped with legal documents. Our reputation depends on our professionalism and our ability to maintain the trust of the entrepreneurs with whom we work. We will take care to keep your materials confidential.
