Title: House Dems Announce Expansion of Ohio Venture Capital Fund

COLUMBUS – State Reps. Jay Goyal (D-Mansfield) and Sandra Williams (D-Cleveland) announced today new legislation that would expand the investment capacity of the Ohio Venture Capital Authority by at least $100 million. The expansion will build on successful efforts to foster innovation in high-growth industries such as healthcare, advanced energy and information technology.

“The challenges of these economic times require strategic investment in our economy and our future,” said Rep. Goyal. “Investing in Ohio’s entrepreneurs and supporting emerging businesses through the Ohio Venture Capital Fund will help create good-paying jobs and position Ohio’s economy for success as the national recession lifts.”

The Ohio Venture Capital Authority (OVCA) was established to help increase private investment in Ohio companies in the early stage of business development. Through allocations made by the Ohio Capital Fund, 35 Ohio companies have received investments; those companies have over $90 million in annual payroll. OVCA is an integral element of Ohio’s broader technology programs which have created 42,000 jobs in recent years, according to an independent analysis by SRI. In addition, Ohio was recently ranked the fourth best state for biotechnology business by Business Facilities magazine in part due to venture capital programs in the state.

“We cannot move Ohio forward without a keen focus on making sure our economy is growing,” said Rep. Williams. “An important component of that growth is the expansion of the Ohio Capital Fund, which provides private investment capital for innovative Ohio companies in the seed or early stages of their business development.”

The expansion proposed today will increase the investment capacity of the Ohio Venture Capital Authority, which oversees the Ohio Capital Fund, by $100 million. The Ohio Capital Fund does not use state tax dollars or General Revenue Funds, and the bonds issued do not count towards the State’s debt ceiling. The Fund is capitalized by the issuance of bonds supported primarily by the investments of the Fund and secondarily by contingent tax credits.

“In Ohio, investments in early-stage companies are outpacing the national average,” said Dr. S. Michael Camp of the Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business. “The data indicates that in Ohio, 67 percent of all investment dollars went to seed and early stage companies compared to national averages that are closer to 24 percent.”

TechColumbus CEO Ted Ford also spoke in favor of the expansion, noting that "the availability of early-stage capital in Ohio has been critical to the development of numerous firms supported by TechColumbus. We support the renewal and expansion of Ohio's Third Frontier and the expansion of the Ohio Capital Fund."

Today’s announcement precedes the Ohio Venture Capital Fund Early-Stage Summit in Columbus on Wednesday and Thursday. For more information on the Ohio Venture Capital Fund, please visit: www.theohiocapitalfund.com.

That leaves Boofer out. He says each job costs him $25,000 which means he probably only pays his people $20,000.

People could do better at Walmart.

Well, let's go right to the source, shall we?

"“Why on earth would I fill a job that’s going to cost me $25,000 a year minimum to get a $6,000 tax credit and have a person sitting around with nothing to do because we don’t have the business? It doesn’t make any sense!" - Boofer

skippy, two things you need to learn.

1) Never follow my anti groupie down the worm hole. Imstillright did that, got banned from multiple websites, and as noted by others, was never. seen. again.

2) This fund specializes in minority owned organizations. Read the 'requirements' on the website. At least half of them claim to have a headquarters 'in Ohio' but if you review them (as I did when I saw this posted a few minutes ago) you see they actually are everywhere BUT HERE. Additionally, the list of corporations (40 of them) reads like a firesale from bankruptcy court.

3) I don't 'whine'. I noted the government, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, needs to cut taxes to bring back venture capital, from VENTURE CAPITALISTS, not state run crap like this.

First Rule of Holes, skippy. Learn it, live it.

We are lucky enough to have an honorable host.

But as I said Boofer, VC isn't for dying companies like yours. Your need to go to a bank.

Why haven't you?

This fund specializes in minority owned organizations. Read the 'requirements' on the website.

Where is that stated, Boofer? The fact is, it isn't. What is stated is that they only need to report their investments in minority held business.

So, there you go again expanding your truth deficit.

To obtain initial consideration for investment by The Ohio Capital Fund as of the date of this information, a prospective venture capital fund must establish to The Ohio Capital Fund's satisfaction that it meets at least the initial criteria below. This is not an exclusive list of the criteria that will be considered by The Ohio Capital Fund. The Ohio Capital Fund reserves the right to add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the criteria at any time, without notice, and to waive any of the criteria with regard to any prospective venture capital fund.

Nothing herein is intended to modify or otherwise alter any applicable requirements of the Ohio VC Statute or the Investment Policy.

All Venture Capital Funds

Venture Capital Fund. The fund must be a private, for-profit venture capital fund.

Performance Potential. The fund must demonstrate a potential to generate high levels of successful investment performance.

Commitment to Seed or Early Stage Investment. The fund must demonstrate in its investment history or its investment strategy a commitment to investing in seed or early stage businesses.

Agreement to Invest in Ohio. The fund must be willing to agree that it will invest at least 50% of all The Ohio Capital Fund monies contributed to the venture capital fund in Ohio-based Business Enterprises in the seed or early stage of business development (the "Ohio Seed and Early Stage Investment Requirement").

Reporting. The fund must be willing to agree that it will report to The Ohio Capital Fund on a quarterly basis, among other things, the following:

a) certain information regarding prospective and actual investments in Ohio- based Business Enterprises at the seed and early stage;

b) investment results on such investments and the total investments of the fund;

c) information relating to the fund's potential and actual investments in portfolio companies owned or managed by disadvantaged minorities or women; and

d) investment results, including overall IRR as well as IRR on investments that meet the Ohio Seed and Early Stage Investment Requirement.

Insurance. The fund must carry liability insurance covering the fund and owners of its general partner for liabilities related to venture capital investing in amounts acceptable to The Ohio Capital Fund.

Use of Name. The fund must be willing to agree that the OVCA and the Ohio Department of Development may refer to the fund's name in public announcements relating to The Ohio Capital Fund. Ohio-based Venture Capital Funds

And it's probably never occurred to you that in the age of the internet they have probably learned how to do their own security searches. Or maybe your searches haven't proven to be that accurate or worth the cost. Have you tried lowering your prices?
