Besides our new logo...There have been many significant developments at REGARD Venture Solutions since the inception of this blog. We have brought on 4 portfolio companies and have been diligently working to build an ecosystem of entrepreneurs and investors in and around the Santa Monica community.This week we secured two stellar addition to the REGARD Advisory Board; John Morris of GKM Ventures & Founder of the Tech Coast Angels LA Chapter and Kevin Jacques of Palomar Ventures. The advisory board is being shaped to streamline the process of getting companies that REGARD brings out of the incubator on the "Fast-Track" to funding.
We see this as a very symbiotic relationship as the investors will be able to provide REGARD guidance as to the type of companies they will invest in. REGARD will hone the selection process accordingly. The benefit to the VC and Angels is exposure to early stage companies and some risk mitigation of the seed stage financing.
