In light of the difficulties that young technology and life science companies are facing in raising funds from traditional sources such as commercial banks and Silicon Valley venture capital firms, Carr & Ferrell LLP has prepared this Alternative Funding Resource Guide. The Guide introduces privately-held enterprises and start-up companies to funding sources they may not have considered previously. If you would like more information about any of the alternative funding sources listed in this Guide or if we can be of assistance in any of your funding or other corporate needs, please contact Barry Carr, Jill Fishbein or Robert Keller of Carr & Ferrell’s Corporate Group at 650-812-3400.
