CIBEC: a unique approach to succeed in business
CIBEC is particularly interested in areas, such as new technologies, that have a complex evolution that other venture capital companies are struggling to understand. Our institution aims for minority populations, without being limited to them, whose business genius is often bullied by a lack of confidence on the part of mainstream investors. CIBEC looks more for the genius in you that has a nose for a good deal, but that’s misunderstood. Finally, our program distinguishes itself by our unique and proactive approach that can provide our customers access to a vast network of support services necessary for their development. CIBEC positions itself as a unique approach to optimize your resources and to secure sources of abundant income.
Our program unfolds in three main ways:
Active management
Venture capital firms take a fairly passive presence in the evolution of businesses they support. Once the businesses get the capital, they are completely abandoned to themselves. However, a study from the University of Tennessee, published in 2011, shows that it is during this period that almost 46% of businesses fail because of lack of competence of their leaders. We will be with you in these most difficult times, when you are caught in doubt, when the confidence of the customer is reluctant, when partners are still assessing you; when the risk is high and you need more and more support, CIBEC will be at your side.
At CIBEC, in addition to providing funding, we take an active role in managing the affairs of the company. We believe that by putting the expertise of CIBEC’s successful entrepreneurs to serve these young organizations, it allows them to avoid the pitfalls so common to new businesses. The result of this framework is inevitably the increase of the chances of success and increasing the return on investment of the company we fund. Our methods have been evidenced by companies which are experiencing tremendous success today.
Mentoring
CIBEC intends to participate in the training of the next generation of entrepreneurs. Thus, the companies in our network receive training tailored to their performance needs. We work very hard with them so that they acquire and effectively utilize knowledge that enables them to excel in their respective fields. The experience accumulated by CIBEC is the basis for this training, however, we also mobilize the best in each area for specific training. CIBEC’s network is the department of research and development for the companies we finance. We use your everyday situations to find customized solutions calibrated to the size and ambitions of your business.
Networking
CIBEC has an extensive network of experienced and specialized service providers in multifaceted business support such as management consulting and finance, marketing and market development specialists, experts in organizational development and customer service, accountants, legal and taxation experts, and more. CIBEC’s network allows companies to do two important things: focus on their business, but also save money by having access to a high quality service at reasonable prices. Moreover, these companies that are part of CIBEC’s network are the first customers of the companies we fund since our network is the first and best place where they will look for suppliers. For example, if your company builds websites, it will have to do so for all the companies in our network. This means that once you join our network, you are already guaranteed to provide services to several companies, but also to obtain contracts for maintenance and after-sales service throughout the year. Belonging to CIBEC’s network subtracts your business from the emerging anxiety to find the first customers, which is vital to the development of business and the increase revenue.
The program will use the technological resources available in its partners’ facilities to support your project. CIBEC is in talks with technology partners such as Microsoft, CISCO and other industry players to create a laboratory dedicated to technological innovation. This lab will have the resources necessary to achieve the objectives of business performance. We will put technology at the service of your growth and ambitions.
Your first clients upon admission to CIBEC
We will use our extensive network of contacts in the business world by enabling highly qualified people to serve as directors for the companies we fund. This opportunity gives them a wider pool of expertise on which they can rely to grow their business. It is also a possibility to increases the awareness of your company as well as increase its capital image among the target clientele.
