Stonehenge Capital Corporation recognized as Top Venture Capital Firm by Entrepreneur magazine
Stonehenge Capital Corporation is recognized as a Top 100 Venture Capital Firm for Entrepreneurs by Entrepreneur magazine. The July 2003 issue of Entrepreneur magazine highlights Stonehenge as an industry leader, with one of the highest activity levels for investing in early stage/ start-up companies.
According to the Money Tree Survey from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association, Stonehenge tied for 30th place among all venture capital firms in the country. The rankings are based on the number of first time fundings to companies in the start-up and early stages of development made by venture capitalists in the calendar year 2002.
Stonehenge funded four start-up companies during 2002 including:
·AVChem, Inc., Missouri; www.avchem.com; provides chemical wholesale and management services to the aerospace industry
·Medidata Solutions, Inc., New York; www.medidatasolutions.com; provides software for medical clinical trials
·OpGen, Inc., Wisconsin; www.opgen.com; is a development stage genomics company pioneering the application of single DNA molecule "Optical Mapping"
·Pilgrim Software, Florida; www.pilgrimsoftware.com; provides Enterprise Quality Management software to the manufacturing industry
Stonehenge continues to demonstrate an aggressive commitment to early stage companies and their need for capital despite a tough economic market. Stonehenge President Tom Adamek states, "We have adopted the same entrepreneurial spirit as the companies we support. Our dedicated team of investment professionals has diligently worked to discover companies with unique business plans."
Stonehenge's investment activity has increased significantly in 2003 and is proving to be even more successful than 2002. To date, Stonehenge has invested over $25 million in 15 companies in the first half of 2003 through its six offices.
