(+) Speed The Process Of Capital Formation

Get deals done faster. Much faster. Whether you are an entrepreneur raising capital for your company, or a rep of an investment bank needing exposure to investors outside your firm, the PPX can vastly reduce wasted time. Proprietary tools identify every PPX Member with funds ready to go for your specific type of deal, right now. At electronic speed. Create Placement Agent Networks faster than ever before. Save MONTHS wasted time.

Did you know the typical entrepreneur spends over 13 months seeking the right investor? And Brokerage Houses, if they do not have the wherewithall or desire to take down the entire deal spend an average of 4 to 6 months forming a distribution network? The PPX reduces this task to electronic speed.

It's about time. Recent trends in capital formation show that risk parameters are lowering across the board - and firms are increasingly looking to partners to spread risk. Private Capital formation is becomming collaborative, and taking on a local flair. The PPX was purpose built for this very situation, and has been tracking this trend for several years. But the recent financial meltdown has sped up the trend. The PPX was built for this new environment, and is facilitating a smoother, more transparent and efficient market.

(+) Eliminate Cost And Danger Associated With Gray Area Consultants

The regulatory rules concerning capital formation are complex and unforgiving. Dealing with parties who don't understand the regs can be disastrous, far beyond a simple waste of money. This is why All PPX Advisor Members (they deal with investors) MUST be Registered financial professionals in order to gain access to the PPX. Brokers, Investment Advisors, Registered Representatives of Angel Groups, Venture Capital Fund Managers and Private Equity Fund Managers. PPX denies access to gray area finders. Limiting access to professionals eliminates much of the risk associated with non-compliant non-professionals. Though the industry has been truly damaged by the Madoff's of this world - the vast majority of licensed participants are hard working and honest. And subject to draconian punishments for violation of the regs. And though there are bad apples everywhere, having a securities registration implies at least a certain level of knowlege, and a certain amount of skin in the game. In this environment, where the stakes are higher than ever, we believe it best to avoid problems, and deal with professionals. In the same way that one would expect an attorney to be licensed by the Bar, or a doctor be licensed by the Medical board.

(+) Leverage Your Efforts

Every Advisor Member is a financial professional representing numerous clients; High Net Worth Individuals, Angel Groups, Venture Capital Funds, and Private Equity Funds. In other words, the world of PPX Advisors represent a veritable Universe of investors - all with cash ready to go for specific kinds of projects. Every Member has personally signed up for access, so you may rest assured that we haven't just uploaded some old investor list and called it a "network"; all participants are real, and subject to feedback, which you can review (or add to) So don't work harder and longer - work smarter and faster. Unique tools in the PPX give you immediate access to real professionals representing an entire ecosystem of available capital. At your convenience. At electronic speed. It's about time :)

(+) Rate And Review

Wouldn't it be nice to know about somebody before reaching out to them? "Feedback" makes this possible. Review the experiences of others before reaching out. And then rate them and include your own experience, for others to review. In a community like the PPX, integrity is of utmost importance. See what everyone is saying, and throw your own experience in the mix.

(+) Powerful Tools That Work. Really. Wanna Know Why?

It's a hard fact: the process of private capital formation is complex and rife with pitfalls. Consider this question: What are the odds that a first time entrepreneur will be able to accomplish a successful raise, with no violations (create a placement memmorandum, identify investors, document everything properly and take cash in) without the intervention, at some point along the way, of a financial professional?

Statistically (and unfortunately), the odds are low. The regulations are complex, unforgiving, and designed to protect investors. But the vast majority of tools available via the web were designed without regulatory compliance in mind. In fact, most web sites purporting to assist capital formation were designed (for the best and most noble of reasons) to cut out the middlemen (the very people who make a living by knowing the regulations). Those tools, though designed with the best intentions, can be problematic in use. Because despite any wishes to the contrary, the regulations do exist,and are there for a reason. To be avoided at peril. Because the punishments for violation of the regulations are so severe, most professionals won't touch those sites with a ten foot pole.

So, if the intervention of professionals is required - yet no professionals will participate in those sites, it's easy to understand why the vast majority of the web tools available simply don't work. They can't.

This is a key differentiator at the PPX. Here, compliance is a foremost concern. And financial professionals have adopted the system. And use it. Every day. And so the tools we offer actually work; because the system is built from ground up to support the modern financial regulatory matrix, not to get around it. Result? A system that speeds the process of capital formation, making it more transparent and efficient, and increasing the public trust.

(+) Identify Members With Funds Available For Your Specific Type Of Project Right Now

TheNetwork Builder Tool will save months off the process by identifying those Members with funds ready to go for your specific type of deal right now. Better yet, the more specific and narrow your parameters, the better the tool works. And since the Members represent a veritable universe of investors (HNW Individuals, Angel Groups, VCs and Private Equity Funds) you will likely get traction, no matter how unusual the project. And if, in the odd circumstance, your project doesn't fit any of the PPX's hundreds of categories, we'll add the category for you. If you don't find interest, chances are it doesn't exist.
