CleanLaunch's Approach to Funding

Working with CleanLaunch to accelerate your technology business is like choosing to work with a personal trainer to achieve your health and fitness goals:  sure, you can do it all by yourself and get there eventually, but don’t you want to surround yourself with experts who can help you maximize your potential?  

A personal trainer uses his or her expertise and experience to build a program to make you physically fit and healthy, establishing a strong foundation based on core strength and utilizing varied techniques such as cardiovascular and resistance training, often supplemented by experts in nutrition and sports psychology.  

Similarly, CleanLaunch builds a custom program for each entrepreneur, starting with business fundamentals that are at the core of every successful start-up, and addresses the existing strengths and weakness of each client with the assistance of the best and brightest advisors in the Rocky Mountain region.  Attorneys, accountants, marketing, sales, and public relations experts, and a host of serial entrepreneurs who have “been there, done that” help you every step of the way.  

Raising capital for your start-up is always a challenge.  Consider that:  

• 1 in 1000 companies seeking venture capital investment gets funded.
• 1 in 100 companies seeking angel investment gets funded.  

CleanLaunch’s approach to raising capital is simple:  

1. The BUSINESS PLAN, in form and function, IS ESSENTIAL to the pitch.
2. You PREPARE and PRACTICE diligently for the pitch.
3. You don’t pitch until you’re READY.
4. You TARGET your pitch carefully and pitch to the right people.  

CleanLaunch can’t guarantee you will get funded because we don’t make the final decision.   

*But since 2005, over 60% of CleanLaunch clients (or our affiliates) who have sought funding have secured angel, venture, private equity, or supplemental friends and family investment in their venture.*
