AgTechLogic – Using Sensor Technology, AI and Data with Precision Spraying to Reduce Chemical Use in Agriculture up to 90%
AgTechLogic

From a business standpoint, investors should be excited about what we are doing because the food supply needs help. We are bringing technologies on a monthly agreement that is very affordable to growers. We are showing direct returns from our growers, so our growers understand they are saving money. We have a profitable business model, so I think investors will look at this and say that they want to see a financial return and an environmental and sustainability return as part of their investment in a company like ours.Tom Gauthier, CEO/Founder, AgTechLogic

PTM Therapeutics – Taking a Novel Approach to Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colon Cancer Using Monoclonal Antibody Technology to Target PTMs Found on Proteins
PTM Therapeutics

What I want to emphasize is supporting the whole ecosystem. We are an early-stage startup and we are looking for funding. We want to get into the clinic because the proof is safety and efficacy in patients. We think that we have something that can game-changer. I think that the financial and investment climate currently is uncertain, but I want to appeal to the investment community to take risks. This is what I think investments should be made in, these novel ideas that are not a me-too or three.


The investment community should be looking at companies that have novel ideas, but taking thoughtful, reasonable steps to develop therapeutics and investing in them and taking that risk. We are excited about novelty, but I feel that that novel equals risk in so many of the VC’s heads, and they tend to be risk averse. This is my shout-out for taking more risks and taking risks on companies that are trying to do something new.Jennifer C. Cheng PhD JD, CEO/Co-Founder, PTM Therapeutics

We are always looking for investors to take us further. We have been very blessed in that we have been able to attract a very diverse group of investors. We also have strategic partners on the pharma and manufacturing sides. We have always been able to present the company as valuable to the partners. At this time, we are looking for more financing to take us further through scale-up and then the full commercialization including the market launch.” Patrick Anquetil, CEO, Portal Instruments

My efforts are now focused on engaging with various venture capitalists to find a syndicate lead who can contribute the remaining $4 million for this round.” David Craig, MBA, President and CEO, Sarcomatrix Therapeutics, Corporation

While we have most of our financing needs covered, we are actively exploring opportunities to bring in additional funding. I've been having conversations with private equity firms and exploring the possibility of taking on minority stakes in the company to give us some extra support and resources.” Jack Smith, CEO, Fortuna Business Management Consulting

Successfully Automating Profits in Self-Storage

https://ceocfointerviews.com/10federal23.html 


“As I have gained experience fund raising from these institutions, I have learned that 10 Federal is at the intersection of two large paradigm shifts in our industry that these big investors are interested in. First is the theme of technology replacing labor, which in our case our automated platform is replacing labor. We no longer have property managers at the site, and as a result we have a more efficient operating expense profile, and that benefit goes straight to the bottom line.


Secondly, there is this concept called prop tech which is how technology can be used to enhance performance of real estate. Everything we are doing through automation and our data science system that lets us evaluate which facilities we should buy and estimates to what degree we can improve the performance has proven to be a tremendous value-added component.


We check two boxes off at the same time and either one or the other would be generally very appealing to the larger investment community. By aligning with those two themes and demonstrating a proven track record through the successful sale of our first and second offerings we are achieving success in the capital raising world.” Brad Minsley, Principal & Co-Founder, 10 Federal


Croptix’s Innovative Technology for Sensing Nutrition and Disease in the Field Enables Farmers to Detect and Monitor Plant Health

https://www.ceocfointerviews.com/croptix23.html


“This recent funding is the initial closing of our first equity round, which is a Series Seed investment. We took time to identify a strategic investor as part of this round. We were looking for a partner that could help us accelerate the development of our nutritional assessment and open that market more quickly than it would have taken us to do it on our own. We have partnered with Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA), and they are highly aligned with our vision. AEA is a leader in regenerative agriculture. With our joint solution, AEA’s customers will benefit by getting nutritional results much faster than with traditional methods. By having data faster, adjustments can be made sooner to optimize crop health. For example, you might need less fertilizer if you see the nutritional needs earlier. This is both a cost-savings for the farmer and a benefit to the environment by helping to reduce fertilizer runoff into groundwater and streams. It’s a win-win.


Working with AEA will be a game changer for us in terms of building out our nutritional platform more quickly, and we are excited about how that is coming together. We are looking forward to trial testing this summer and leveraging the resources between both teams for a successful launch of products for nutritional assessment in the field.


Participation in this round from early investors 1855 Capital and Ben Franklin Technology Partners demonstrates their strong confidence in our future success. We are grateful for their ongoing commitment and support.” Perry Edwards, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO, Croptix
