Company

CEO Ventures (www.ceoventures.com) is one of the top angel and tech launch companies in the Southeast US but we currently do not have representation in Silicon Valley. We will be placing or moving many of our newly funded tech launches as we think they have a better chance of attracting capital, growing and successfully exiting if the build-out of the core teams is done in or near Silicon Valley.

Newest Examples in Our Portfolio

  • GoPresent.com World's first truly Zero plugin (not even Flash) webconference system, so it is more reliable, truly instant, and even works on iPhones/iPads without plugins. We just finished optimizing it for sales team presentations to maximize subscription revenue.
  • PlugMeIn.com Go to any web site and PlugMeIn instantly reveals all executives at that company along with their emails and full contact info. It also works in LinkedIn (goodbye to unreliable InMails), GMail/webmail, and Outlook plus full CRM integration (like Jigsaw meets Xobni meets Rapportive in one).
  • TeamEx.com Enterprise and business team social network system but with strategy, goals, and reporting baked in to keep it focused (like SuccessFactors meets Jive, Spigit, and Yammer).
  • VisitorLeads.com Auto-identifies business site visitors who don’t register or identify themselves (99% of visitors) for better follow-up. Like demandBase or LeadLander but with far more powerful tools such as a timed AutoResponder series to the visitors, AutoActions such as notifying the right rep of the visit, AutoRedirection of visitors to more relevant site pages, AutoRelaying to the company’s CRM and more.

a) One (1) exit yearly for a success fee/split of around $200K in cash yearly.

b) Two (2) fundings yearly for shares around $50K/per so $100K in stock yearly.
