The newly capitalized fund utilizes an investment approach described as &#8220;Inflection Capital Investing,&#8221; through which Laconia will invest in late seed-stage companies that have reached an inflection point in their business development that strongly suggests continued growth, attractive future funding rounds, and current tangible value. <\/p>\n<p> Companies reaching Laconia&#8217;s inflection point have an in-market product, existing primary revenue stream, relatively light future capital requirements, and a valuation that reflects the current asset value rather than a hockey stick projection. <\/p>\n<p> These companies typically need late seed-stage financing to further build out their product features set, and refine their market value proposition and sales structure. <\/p>\n<p> Inflection Capital Investing allows Laconia to target companies that have solid fundamentals, but which have not yet achieved the full demonstrated scalability needed to attract a Series-A round of financing. <\/p>\n<p> Laconia has identified a large pool of pre Series-A companies that have been created over the past 24 months from a record influx of Angel and institutional seed stage capital.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This is an excellent time to discover quality companies on the cusp of scalability, especially now that valuations are stabilizing, and may be falling,&#8221; says David Arcara, Laconia&#8217;s Co-Founder and Managing Director.<\/p>\n<p> Entrepreneurs and independent investors David Arcara and Jeffrey Silverman founded Laconia. Amongst their past investments are Localytics, LeagueApps, TripleLift, LocalVox, Alice, and Wymsee. <\/p>\n<p> Laconia plans to complete 8-10 investments over the next 18 months with an average investment size between $250,000-$750,000.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>About Laconia Capital Group:<\/strong><br \/> Laconia Capital Group L.P. is headquartered in New York City and was founded in 2014.
