Celebrating the 2013 Funding Roadshow Sponsors - LX VENTURES (Views: 5778)
Wed, 29 May 2013
LX Ventures is one of several sponsors that have made the 2013 Funding Roadshow possible. Fundica is happy to have them on board as they can play a significant role in fulfilling the Roadshow’s main objective of aiding entrepreneurs to achieve success through adequate funding and business mentoring. The founders of LX Ventures are entrepreneurs themselves and so have a special interest in helping the next generation of entrepreneurs to succeed—evidenced in part by their assuming the Roadshow’s entry cost for all entrepreneurs.
LX Ventures is a publicly-traded technology incubator that launches, acquires, and integrates early-stage, high-growth technology companies. Similar to a mining project generator, it incubates multiple tech companies internally by providing the concept, capital, and an expert management team. Key to its success as a start-up incubator and resource facilitator is the company’s leadership comprised of Canada’s leading financial, legal, investment capital, and technology entrepreneurs.
Additionally, LX Ventures offers investors of all types the option of investing in private technology start-ups that are usually illiquid and reserved for accredited investors or VC's. Investors choose LX Ventures because of its experienced management team and the opportunity it provides them to fund growth companies at higher valuations than the public markets.
The company also assists entrepreneurs with outsourcing of technological innovation and with access to resources such as capital market fundraising, technical talent, management and advisory services, and business development. Likewise, choosing LX Ventures as a business partner offers a significant competitive advantage as it grants access to the company’s premier network which includes industry-leading entrepreneurs, VC-backed Growlab, Launch Academy, service providers, developers, accelerators, and incubators across North America, and international tier-1 partnerships.
Closely associated with LX Ventures in a hub-style environment are GrowLab, a for-profit accelerator, and Launch Academy, which provides a collaborative environment for tech start-ups to build and grow their products. Kudos go to both these companies for providing us with office space to help host the Roadshow.
An engaging and informative video interview of LX Ventures CEO, Mike Edwards, provides valuable insight into how the company functions and reasons for its success. It also lets viewers meet some of the companies that currently form part of LX Venture’s portfolio group of companies. Two additional home-page links—one for a corporate presentation and the other for a fact sheet make for interesting reading.
