Author of the Capital Drill and financial modeling to "de-mystify" and "simplify" the challenges associated with creating and managing a private equity company. The goal is..... "If we can create more angels...we can fund more companies." The funding GAP in Georgia is Angel round funding. This round provides the capital to create a prototype and develop a proof of principle al required to qualify for Series A funding. The problem in Georgia intensifies with a shortage of Lead Angels who can strike terms, complete investor due diligence so other angels can follow. The Ritz Group Capital Drill and Capital Services, Scholarship and fractional CIAO programs address this shortage. (more)

Brite Idea Labs hosts Ritz Group Members providing them with their own unique Match Criteria. Match is the new search. Like the popular dating sites, when members (individuals, corporations, sellers) profile and define their NEEDs or HAVES (Match Criteria) they TARGET what they want, plus they also have defined a FIREWALL on who can solicit them. Ritz Group, IGL's, Shark Attack, remote Angel Club/s, Capital Audits, Angel Academy and Ritz Crypto will have profiles, with individual contacts and their unique Match Criteria (what they need, have and want).
Corporate Foundry provides a complete suite of corporate Innovation services geared to launch and/or promote a Corporate Innovation Program.

For each sub-profile, they define their "Needs" or "Wants," to include job requests and even job openings.
The i-Serve goal is to MATCH each of the diverse Veteran Match Criteria with other Veteran's Match Criteria - to include government resources, or commercial entities actively serving veterans. Each Veteran Match Concierge enables them to tailor their Match Criteria and who they want to Match. (i.e. just veterans... or government... or commercial resources). The Veteran Match portal is designed to be an on-ramp to the thousands of communities and organizations that serve veterans It is a veteran's digital identity to "find and be found."
