EPEC™ bridges the gap between founders and billions in available private market capital.
We are not a traditional fund VC. We are the industry's first (and only) true hybrid VC.
​
We do not complete with venture capital. We help get the millions of Founders who seek capital but are denied or can't access it onto the right path to get their hands on it. A lot of it.
​
The EPEC Platform™ is the first of its kind that provides multi-level programs for companies (from startup to later-stage) to help transform each into quality deals for securing private market capital they otherwise would likely never access.
In doing so, EPEC™ also brings those companies as issuers together with accredited investors and industry service providers in a unified ecosystem to uniformly engage quality deal flow.
​
Since 1998, our parent firm, Commonwealth Capital, has been hands-on, helping companies capitalize at every level. That successful program is now transformed into an intelligent, cloud-based platform accessible to millions of serious entrepreneurs ready to roll up their sleeves and raise capital effectively and legally. It is also where investors can engage those companies, and industry providers can service and support them, as they complete their programs to become a quality deal.
​
EPEC utilizes the power of epecAI™ for its proprietary BDR Rating™ system, and in providing diverse data analytics and business intelligence throughout the platform for all its users.
Within U.S. private capital markets, achieving the level of broker-dealer-ready by any business means achieving the highest deal quality level of investment possible. Each company is rated from its existing state against that ideal state, which can be effectively improved to increase its chances of greater capitalization as each higher grade is achieved.
BDR Rating™ is a proprietary service exclusively available on the EPEC Platform™.
Get your company BDR Rating™
Determine your investment readiness, and start your business on its capital journey.
When entering the world of private capital markets, one either dominates it or gets dominated by it.
​
The first step towards accessing the billions currently available begins with feedback regarding your company as a professional investor would financially view it.
Just as Fitch Ratings™ publishes forward-looking credit ratings on an entity's relative ability or obligation to meet financial commitments, the BDR Rating™ of a business is a current-look diagnostic analysis on a company's state as a quality deal for private market capital relative to being broker-dealer ready.
​
Achieving the level of broker-dealer-ready by any business means achieving the highest deal quality level for investment in private capital markets in America.
​
We rate every company's current state against that ideal criteria, providing a rating towards the highest level of quality possible for the most amount of funding available.
Your BDR Rating™ is a proprietary analysis strictly available through the EPEC platform, and is every company's first step towards private market capital.
​
Your rating is provided at no cost, so let's get you started on your road to substantial capitalization.
Why EPEC Gets Results
Reverse-engineering Wall St. means revealing their investment "secrets" so entrepreneurs can gain the investment advantage.
Venture Capital is investing at all-time lows due to the lack of quality companies to invest in, while unused Private Capital continues to pile up––in the trillions.
Investors have visibly shifted into stronger risk management and less opportunity-chasing. Unicorns are being replaced by Mules—the muscle needed for achieving consistent cash flow.
This has placed a huge burden on entrepreneurs and their companies: either re-engineer to meet market demand or fail to raise capital.
​
For decades, the vast majority of companies have relied on business plans and pitch decks to raise capital from venture capital, which rarely works. When it does work, founders often give up too much common class A voting equity, too soon, for too little of an investment.
In the end, founders wind up on average at less than 15% ownership at IPO or sale, when they should have 40-60%, which is entirely possible if your capitalization is done properly from the beginning.
However, venture capital firms do have the expertise to properly re-engineer these companies to become “broker-dealer ready”, so they too, have access to the U. S. Public Capital Markets. Only Wall Street Investment Banks aka “broker-dealers” have access to the U. S. Public Capital Markets.
This is the foundation of why EPEC works: our programs help founders properly engineer their company so it is near “broker-dealer ready” so ownership has the power to retain at least 40-60% of the common class A voting equity upon exit, while secureing the substantial capital they need to win the game.
