Competere Group employs a patent pending mathematical scoring system that will predict the probability of success of your new venture.

Whether you are a first - time entrepreneur, seasoned entrepreneur, an employee of a corporation charged with launching a new product or service, an angel or venture capital investor or an economic development officer tasked with aiding new companies in your community, Competere Group will predict for you the following:

1. The likelihood of success of you new venture.

2. If its Competere score is sufficiently high that a launch is recommended, Competere will predict the amount of capital needed to reach break-even.

3. Competere will predict the rate of return on the required capital.

Guarantee : While Competere is highly confident of the accuracy if its mathematical models, they are highly reliant in the accuracy of the answers to the questionnaire that you must fill out and submit.

Assuming that your answers are accurate and assuming your answers that your new venture is among the 25 highest scoring new ventures, Competere Group will provide sufficient angel capital to launch it. That's a guarantee.

Who Are We? Competere Group is comprised of several dozen wealthy entrepreneurs who have built successful companies in virtually every industry. We are seasoned veterans of the entrepreneurial chase, but we still love the chase, and now we have the capital to back the dreams of younger entrepreneurs.

We are busy and we do not have the time to screen tens of thousands of business plans. Thus, we choose to let the Competere Scoring System do the heavy - lifting, if your new venture receives one of the highest scores, we will provide you with necessary funding.

Supplemental Information: Your new venture may not achieve a score sufficiently high for Competere Group to recommend that you pursue it, but with some changes to the business model, it could score much higher. After you receive your Competere Score, visit the Supplemental Information page and learn how to fix the weakness in your business model.

Remedial Score: Once you have introduced the suggestions form the Supplemental Information Page; you can resubmit your new venture to Competere Group to obtain a Remedial Score. It is likely that the Remedial Score will be higher than the initial score; indeed, sufficiently high to obtain your funding from Competere Group. For example, in your initial business model you might be hiring and training a skilled national sales force to introduce a new product service. Competere Group might prefer franchising as a less experienced and more efficient means to deliver the product to the market. As franchising brings capital to a new venture without giving up ownership or requiring a payback, it will significantly reduce the cost of capital and speed the commercialization of the new product or service. Hence, Competere's algorithms could justifiably produce a higher score for the new venture.

Return on Angel Capital: Investors in new ventures generally want to know the answers to the five questions:

1. How much can I make?

2. How much can I lose?

3. When do I cash out?

4. Who else is in it?

5. Who says you're good?

How much can I make?

The answer to the first question is known as Return on Investment or ROI. Competere Group can predict the ROI for any new venture once the entrepreneurs have answered a short supplemental questionnaire.

How much can I lose?

Generally speaking, the angel or venture can lose the full amount of his or its investment.

When do I cash out?

The ideal means of liquidifying one's investment is via the sale of the entire amount of the new venture for cash or registered common stock to a large corporation. Competere Group is able to predict the likely number of months between investments and cash return on the investment, assuming the sale of the new venture.

Who else is in it?

The answer sought by the question is one of the validation of the product or service that the new venture is or seeks to commercialize. If the beta test is being done with a reputable company, it is a major plus. If the vendors to the new venture or the licensor of an important ingredient or component to the new venture, is a reputable firm, that is a plus as well.

Who says you're good?

The answer sought by this question is that the entrepreneur and his or her teammates are honest individuals of the other money, highly intelligent, extremely focused on the new venture, have some of their own money in it - or at least money from their family and friends - and warrant the backing and support of outside investors.

Response Time: In creating this interactive Web site Competere Group has sought to achieve brevity, which excludes everything that is redundant and nothing that is significant. The answers you provide to the questions will be fed into Competere Group's algorithms and you will receive a score for your new venture in 24 hours, perhaps 48 hours in some cases involving patent searches or verification of complex data that you submit. The same projected time period applies to remedial scores and ROI predictions.

Password Protection: All of your information will be protected by a password. Because we are entrepreneurs ourselves, Competere Group understands the confidential nature of the information that you submit to us. It will remain with Competere Group and will not be disseminated to others.

Our Value Proposition: Competere Group believes that business models can be mathematically analyzed and give scores as can some of life's other precious assets; e.g., intelligence, athletic skills, artistic performances, precious jewels. The entrepreneurial process and the angel investing process, in their current formats, are extremely costly and inefficient. Competere Group believes it can lower the cost of launching new ventures and make the process of linking up new ventures with angel capital more efficient.

We charge for our services, but the cost of obtaining a Competere Group score and the supplemental scores - Remedial and ROI - are set sufficiently low to make them affordable while at the same time sufficiently high to give them a perceived value. We believe you will find the process of filling out the questionnaires just as rewarding from the point of view of examining the business model of your new venture as from receiving your Score, remedial suggestions and ROI predictions.
