New Jersey based Eagle Rock Partners, managers of a 9 year old successful fund of hedge funds, is developing a new and unique way of providing growth capital to deserving companies in the Metropolitan NY/NJ area with a solid business plan, existing revenues that can grow rapidly, healthy gross margins and a strong management team that has already invested hard cash in their ventures.

We are looking to be a strategic partner with the companies we help fund. The companies we will support have to have a clear competitive edge in the market place and have to be delivering a product or service that is important to the target audience. We bring many important skills and connections to the companies in which we become involved. Our approach will cost entrepreneurs a smaller portion of their equity than more traditional investment approaches. Besides providing capital our team and its connections can further leverage your successful development.

We anticipate investing from $250,000 to $1 million initially in any company in which we become involved. We are not funding pure start-ups. For investors looking for alternative investing opportunities our approach is to pool capital from a group of investors to be invested in rapidly growing, profitable businesses on terms that yield targeted liquid returns over a 3 to 4 year period.

Next Step:         If you have an ongoing business with a plan for accelerating profitable growth, if adequately funded, follow up by sending a one page summary of your company, its funding requirements and plan for profitable growth to This email address is being protected from spambots.

We Are All In the Same Business: Energy Management 

To be competitive during a recession, we all need to find affordable ways to infuse positive energy into our work environments just to compensate for the brain drain caused by the negative energy generated by an economic downturn. To think clearly, our brain cells need more oxygen, endorphins, and adrenaline that are sapped by the indecision, worrying, laying low, and whining that are so pervasive during recessions.

This is easier said than done, especially if your clients view your team as a resource for the positive energy they desperately need. These days, it doesn’t take much for a team to feel pretty “used up.”

Your team members may not always say how they feel out loud, but your attempts to “cheer up” hard working professionals who feel “used up” may evoke facial expressions that scream:

•  Go away!

• You have got to be kidding!”
