New York Startup Offers Online Platform that Enables Value-Based Investments

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Clewed, a New York-based start up has launched with an online research, advisory and risk-management platform for small to midsize companies, it was announced today.

The firm provides an affordable solution to business owners, who can tap into the knowledge and expertise of industry professionals, while industry experts in return have the opportunity to nurture these companies and invest in their growth.

The one-of-a kind service platform enables businesses, whose information would otherwise be difficult to find, to easily access valuable expertise and demonstrate their potential to prospective investors who seek to form a long-term partnership. This partnership is guided by the focus to build healthy companies that last.

"The scarcity of information on these businesses, coupled with the growth of intermediaries and fund managers with an incentive to trade for short-term gains, can starve companies of the resources they need to achieve their potential," said Hiwot Nega, Clewed's founder and CEO. "The prevailing buyout strategies can also add significant transaction cost, which runs counter to the long-term interest of investors. Clewed's approach on the other hand is to accelerate the growth of promising companies for all owners, and compound their high growth over a long time horizon."

Clewed's unorthodox model offers privacy controls and levels of engagement that ensure confidentiality of all parties. Additionally, Clewed provides a standardized management process, which helps to organize information so the professionals can focus on giving advice on their specific area of expertise. If business owners seek liquidity, qualified companies can offer investment opportunities directly to Clewed's network of professionals and investors.

Through opportunities for professionals to collaborate and help companies innovate and grow, Clewed aims to maximize clients' long-term business value. This service and relationship create unique long-term opportunities for owners, professionals and investors alike. The platform is designed to enable efficient diligence, management, and monitoring to help accelerate growth and mitigate risk to build stable, profitable and long lasting companies.
