More For nearly two decades Roger Andrus has been instrumental in helping 1,000's of entrepreneurs secure the capital they need to start and stay in business. Through the years Mr. Andrus established and led several national commercial lending divisions and companies; one of which gained national prominence and was sought out and acquired by AT&T. In 1996 he founded Commerce Capital Corporation; a commercial lending and leasing company. Currently he serves as the Executive Director of the Business Development Corporation of Provo; a non-profit entity sponsored by Provo City's Economic and Redevelopment Agency. Provo's BDC provides early stage seed capital and functions as a small-business growth accelerator. Business Development Corporation of Provo - Ideal Startup Investment The BDC funds early stage companies and is looking for companies that have the potential of creating high-quality jobs in Provo. What We Are Looking For 1. Founding Team The management team should consist of the key individuals that can execute and achieve the critical milestones to the next stage of funding. It should ideally have a CEO that can lead the team even if the individual is not the long term CEO. In any case the team should be committed to building a company, passionate, accomplished, work well together, and be well referenced. 2. Market The opportunity to build a company really starts with the attractiveness of the market opportunity. The size and growth rate are the most important metrics but there are other factors that are also important. The industry structure, barriers to entry, customer switching costs, competitive landscape, behavior of incumbents, etc. all play into the attractiveness of the market. Small markets seldom deliver the opportunity to build big companies. We prefer companies that can deliver revenues of $1M to $100M within a four to five year period. 3. Product/Service The product or service offered should be disruptive and unique and solve a customer problem or meet a need. The value propositions should be clear and the product should not require significant behavioral change on the part of the customer. 4. Business Model The business model is the means by which you can develop a profitable business in a repeatable manner. We prefer businesses with high growth potential and sustainable gross margins. 5. Competition The management team should appreciate the competitive landscape and understand both its present and future direct and indirect competitors. They should also have a grasp on the sustainable competitive advantage that it can build through various means. 6. The BDC is primarily interested in teams that wish to build a company that can independently thrive and have the potential of creating quality jobs in Provo.
