History:
As a participant in the venture capital industry from the genesis of its growth, when it included only a handful of companies, to today when many hundreds of venture capital firms are re-examining their missions, Vencon has remained small and focused with regard to its area of technology expertise. Vencon's venture capital activities have been across the entire universe of the industry from minority capitalism, Community Development Corporations (rural venture development), Social Enterprise, to traditional venture capital. In its venture capital activities, Vencon considers each of the usual categories of venture deals, from "seed" to expansion stage.
Our Programs have been the model for National Initiatives. Vencon has undertaken initiatives to create nationwide programs to provide for the much needed programmatic infrastructure to catalyze the success of technology ventures. In the mid-1970's,Vencon proposed various incubator programs. In 1978, at the White House Conference of Balanced National Growth and Economic development, Vencon urged enterprise zones to be established and venture financing activities. Such activities were eventually put in place during the 1980's in the United States. In the mid-1990's, VMI had a leading role in the creation of the "Silicon Alley" technology activities in New York City.
VMI's entrepreneurial enterprise mechanisms have become the model for economic development and growth in other nations around the world. Vencon's analysis of venture prospects is all encompassing in the firm's industry expertise product fields. We evaluate competitors, technology, market share, five-year projections and the underlying accounting, management, legal, as well as entrepreneurial sociological factors. |
