What the newly merged Team Catapult and Team EkonX are building towards in EkonX.io is a fully functioning Market Network – i.e., a marketplace that facilitates interactions and transactions among appropriate entrepreneurs, advisors and investors within a business development context.  We deliver these values primarily through the engagement of what we call Community Partners (CPs), which are all educational institutions, business incubators, professional associations and government agencies focused on mentoring, as they’re at the foundation of ALL entrepreneurial ecosystems  globally.

EkonX, Inc.

"An Exciting Collaboration..."

The AngelCapitalSummit.org is now one of the largest events of this type in the U.S.   With the help of hundreds of investors, and well over a 2,000 'alumni' advisers and entrepreneurs, the ACS continues to be one of the 'can't miss' events here in Colorado and the surrounding states.  

The ACS happens every year here in Denver, CO and on the Internet.  Please drop me a note - Kevin@BusinessCatapult.com - if you'd like to get involved.

Managing Partner

I was a Director for Capital Markets Group from '04 to '09.  CMG is a private investment bank and equity buyout firm that specializes in services for the owners of privately held companies with annual revenues from $7-$50 million.  They help with financing management buyouts, the sale of companies, corporate finance, subordinated debt, senior debt, institutional and professional equity, mezzanine financing, and financing turnarounds, workouts and restructurings.

Capital Markets Group

Director

The Enterpreneurial Standards Forum (www.ES2F.org) was started in early 2005 as a part of the DaVinci Institute to serve as an open, non-profit, standards-making body that develops standards that help entrepreneurial ventures and investors to make better decisions. It was spun out as an independent non-profit entity in July 2005.

Current projects include:

* Building a directory of business plan templates available on the web.
* Building a database that can be used by startup companies to benchmark themselves.
* Developing tools for assessing entrepreneurial teams.
* Developing a standard that will allow business plans to be audited in the same way as financial statements (using GAPP or ISB) and quality systems (using ISO 9000).
