Testimonials

"I made several great connections through your network. In fact, I was able to over fund my project. I also listed with another network that cost 3X as much and the leads were nowhere near as solid as the investors I met through this network. I will definitely only be using this network in the future. "
Jason A.

Illinois Investors

United States > Illinois

Investment firm based just outside Chicago, IL. We are a specialized investment group focused on identifying investment opportunities in consumer products and services primarily in the household, outdoor, pet and personal care segments. We believe these segments have been overlooked and disenfranchised by traditional venture capital firms. Because these segments have been largely ignored by most capital providing sources, there are hungry yet qualified company founders who can greatly benefit from financial & managerial support thus presenting attractive investment opportunities. We look for startup companies that will become major industry participants that are built around innovative products, unique services and strategies coupled with dynamic, passionate founders that create new markets or reshape existing ones.
