Rhoads typically makes capital investment, in the range of $100,000 to $250,000, in entrepreneurial and innovative companies, and up to $2.5 million as needed and justified in the market-place. We are involved with VERY EARLY STAGE (Pre or Nominal Revenue) start-up companies. We are focused on addressing the needs of businesses involved in: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: Information Technology is all about information, not only in the technology comprising the product/service, but also in positioning and distributing that product/service. Our team understands the Information Technology industry. We are experienced in licensing techniques and implementation. We also understand what it takes to market and distribute system and software solutions. Our contacts include industry pundits and visionaries that can help us with this process. MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY: Medical technology is exploding with innovations. New technologies are being introduced almost daily to diagnosis and treat disease, improve efficiencies, reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations and even keep senior’s in their homes longer. This technology ranges from the simplest form of telecommunications to the increased use and complexity of telemedicine to highly sophisticated medical devices. Adding to the difficulties of this industry are the ever changing complexities of governmental regulation and third-party reimbursement scenarios. Accessing specific skills for a given medical technology, within the most appropriate market(s) and understanding the other variables that are unique to this industry are critical to success. ENERGY/GREEN TECHNOLOGIES We recognize that this technology is extremely important to our environment and our economy and are therefore motivated to assist entrepreneurs that have this focus. Since this industry is relatively in its infancy it takes not only knowledgeable and experienced business executives but also executives with wide ranging finance, governmental and technology backgrounds such as the members comprising the e360 team. In addition we are collaborating with experts in solar, wind, semiconductor, environment and other technologies to augment our expertise and bring our clients the skills they need to help them reach success. CONSUMER PRODUCTS: It is necessary to make sure you have a good market plan, understand your demographic, position your product properly, select the correct distribution channels, and provide senior level, effective management that offers immediate action. Through a collaborative effort we will assist you to establish market segments, develop brand awareness, define unique attributes, secure distribution and take advantage of today’s advertising channels such as Infomercials, direct response TV, and home shopping channels. In this area we focus on Business Acquisitions, Equity Capital Participations, Various Debt Instruments, New Company Formations, Corporate Restructuring, , and Partnerships that provide value. Our team’s diverse background brings vast experience and strength to our portfolio companies, to help them achieve a highly profitable situation for all.
