During the Internet "dot com boom" my venture capital company, "Capital Unlimited" consulted with VC firms and those seeking capital across the globe. I assisted companies (primarly new start ups) in ways to raise capital safely when the banks had turned them down.

I assisted with business plans, incorporations, press releases, financing proposals, private placement memos, invoice factoring, collection issues, trademark issues, asset Protection/restructuring & reorganization of bad debt.

During the dot.com internet boom, my Venture Capital company Capital-Unlimited and website was purchased by Andrew J. Filipowski of DivineInterventures the previous owner of Platinum Ventures.

Platinum Ventures was well documented as being famous for the purchase by Computer Associates for 3.6 Billion the largest software transaction in history at the time of the begining of the Internet dot.com boom.

My investigation company was under a consulting contract for due diligence and with the Divine Interventures team.

My 17 year old company, The Corpa Group continues to work in the field of Venture Capital. We get in the middle of business deals to ensure the deal is safe with no surprises. We use the term "investigate before you invest" which can be seen on our site and blog.
