Juneau is the brainchild of a group of experienced entrepreneurs and managers, who identified a need that was not being answered in the startup financing world.
Their goal was to make life easier for entrepreneurs and angel investors in the growth stages of their ventures, and at the same time to offer the public a unique opportunity to invest in post-seed startups.
They established a groundbreaking fund, which holds a basket of selected, VC-backed startups in advanced stages. They offered each entrepreneur or angel who joined the company to exchange 10%-20% of his shares in the startup for tradable stock in Juneau, with an option to receive a portion of the investment in cash.
Now they offer a new exchange of 10%-20% of the shares in the startup for immediate cash and an option to buy more, in cash as well.
In May of 2008, after completing the acquisition of Danbar Technologies Inc. – a publicly-traded company since 1992 – Juneau Capital began trading in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE).
The new management immediately presented the new company, with an innovative business model in the venture capital market. The company has been growing steadily since, and seeking additional, top-tier startups in local and international markets. |
