Corporate Capital Raising
Our senior level relationships with global 1000 companies enable us to secure strategic equity and debt financing for our clients. We focus on capital raising transactions ranging from $5M to $50M for privately-held growth stage companies in the sectors we operate in.
Strategic Partnering
In conjunction with raising capital, Woodside Capital arranges strategic partnerships for our clients that can dramatically increase the value of the company beyond the equity investment. Executing a strategic partnership is often a cost effective way to raise capital without diluting equity ownership or selling the entire company. It is an efficient way to raise capital while simultaneously sharing the risks and costs involved in development, manufacturing, and seeking regulatory approvals. It is also an efficient way of maximizing commercialization success by leveraging the resources and sales force of the larger strategic partner rather than replicating those capabilities on its own.
Patent Valuation Services
An independent valuation of a company’s intellectual property (IP) assets, typically in the form of patents and patent portfolios, enables a company to obtain maximum value in a transaction. We employ a comprehensive valuation methodology to estimate the value of individual patents or patent portfolios. Our approach bases valuations on a bottoms-up estimate of potential royalties and takes into account market realities, and legal risks encountered during prosecution or assertion of patents. The results of such a valuation may be used as a basis for patent licensing, sales & settlement discussions and company valuations. We customize the approach as necessary for the patent or portfolio being valued and tailor the scope of the project to fit the client’s needs and expectations.
