Cedar Ventures,
LLC is an advisory and venture capital management firm with an existing portfolio of venture investments from a prior
fund. Cedar is currently in discussions with some investors about a pledge fund where investors will have the opportunity
to decide on a case by case basis whether or not to invest in a particular transaction.* Cedar will then manage the
investment. Cedar Ventures is also acting as a fund-less sponsor helping to deploy fund
capital on behalf of some venture and private equity funds as well as advising some companies in the case of a sale or capital
raise. In some cases, Cedar acts as an investment banker/advisor representing a company with respect to a number of
investors or with respect to potential buyers in the case where it desires to be sold. In others, Cedar assists a few
private equity and venture funds in deploying their capital and is a source of capital. These funds are focused on lifesciences,
technology and information and business services and insurance. One fund invests in seed fund/startup/early stage companies
and has a strategic consulting division
that assists companies commercialize their technology, find strategic partners and define their growth.
We have relationships with many private equity firms since we have co-invested and worked with these firms in prior transactions.
