Our principals have been part of the founding teams of dozens of early stage firms. We have participated in raising capital from angels, professional investors and venture capital sources. Our experience includes work with advanced technologies in telecommunications, Internet, security, biometrics, computing, software development, electronics and hardware, to name a few.

The benefits of working with J Street include:

Experience with Your Challenges
Your partners at J Street have raised funds from angels and VC funds, launched new technologies, and founded their own technology firms. We have experience with sales channel development, reseller agreements and joint ventures. We also work with some of the world’s leading experts on IP, intellectual asset management and product development. Senior Consultant Lane Soelberg has worked with some of the real gurus of the Internet at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

An Understanding of Fundraising
We understand the demands of angels, professional investors and VC funding sources. David Shaw previously managed Tier 4 Partners, an early stage venture capital firm, and has experience with startups, later stage funding and public firms. Earlier David served as CEO of a publicly traded firm that he moved from the NASDAQ to the American Stock Exchange.

Fewer False Starts
Most startups and early stage technology firms crash. Many fail not because of missing technology -- but because of mistaken strategy. J Street cuts through the hype and asks the tough questions. The answer links your product directly to your target market, and makes sure the target is right from the start.

Affordable
We take on selected assignments in return for commissions and equity participation, in addition to traditional retainers.
