We help our clients to prepare a clear strategy using Unique Financial Solutions and Cutting-edge Technologies to become more Efficient, Economic and Environmentally responsible. The goal is People, Planet and Profit. We are currently at the final stages building Eco-Strategy.com which is a free portal for our clients to learn about and execute our solutions all in one place, at their own pace and budget and more (e.g.: track carbon footprint via "Eco-Score", become a "Certified Eco-Enterprise" and share results by creating press releases within the portal). Our challenge is that we need help updating marketing as well as driving new sales and exposure.NeedCapital.AI helps entrepreneurs and business owners with the documentation necessary for raising capital (e.g.: Business Plan, Financial Model, Pitch Deck) as well as a unique technology for executing investor outreach (to our 32K investors - e.g.: Hedge Funds, Private Equity Firms, Venture Capital Firms, Family Offices, Accredited Angel Investors). Our goal is to help 1 Million entrepreneurs. We are currently building NeedCapital.Academy - which serves as a client portal to systemize the proven manner in which we onboard clients through each of our services and prepare them for introductions and meetings with investors, in addition to, other best practices for building and running businesses. We are also building NeedCapital.AI Perks to serve our clients with various resources of the services we recommend companies employ to help improve operations, growth and more. Our challenge is that we need help updating completing research for our course(s) within NeedCapital.Academy as well as driving new sales and exposure. As we scale, we are also challenged to source additional financial professionals to help update our clients financial models, business plans and pitch decks "on-the-fly" for investors meetings/demands.
