We are registered investment advisors to high technology companies and investment clients, and we are located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
We created a global due diligence platform that helps small manufacturing enterprises and small innovative high tech companies that do not fit the Venture Capital financial model a place to conduct online capital market activities.
The Private Capital Market
We have a intellectual curiosity about how deals get done, and our fascination has lasted several decades.
At this stage of the game, it is running neck and neck in duration with our fascination with stand up comedy.
Our book about technological evolution combines both our professional interest in private capital markets with our theoretical interest in predicting the direction of technology in distinct metro regions.
One conclusion that we have reached is that America's last best hope for economic vitality and prosperity lies in continuous innovation, and we have been doing a lot of promotional work advocating this economic strategy.
If you share our passion for entrepreneurship, new venture creation, technology commercialization, and innovation economics, then please join us at the Capital Formation Institute, and help us spread our message.

We are engaged in several business ventures, none of which have made us rich, but we love the thrill of doing a search engine search under "technological innovation" or "innovation economics."
We are the holders of a patent on how to select stocks for inclusion into an investment account, which is based upon our theory, whose long-winded name is Structural Evolutionary Regional Economic Theory (SERET).
Basically, SERET suggests that there are 9 high technology value chains, also known as industrial clusters. We begin our search for stocks in these nine value chains, and apply some very easy-to-understand rules, mostly adopted from the works of Graham and Dodd, to selecting stocks.

Technology Stock Advisor
The issues surrounding how new markets evolve and how future investment opportunities are created from innovation is not a big money maker. But, we have always read that you are supposed to have a career in something that you love to do, so we write about this all the time.
In the past, we just wrote because we loved to read our own stuff. Now we have a newsletter that you can read if you like these topics, too.
New Tech Markets
We think that the entire business model of economic development in America is seriously warped, and needs to be changed. We have written many op ed pieces in North Carolina's newspapers and given many public presentations on how backwards the current policy of industrial recruitment incentives is.
This activity has not endeared us to the dominant political and financial leaders of our state, and our preoccupation as a publicity hound in getting our message out in the public is getting harder and harder to satisfy.
But, as a consequence of our advocacy, we created a place where metro regions can get better economic consulting when the light bulb finally goes off.
"Hey! The stuff we have been doing for 30 years is not working, and the natives are getting restless. I wonder if there is something else we can do?"
Industrial Cluster Experts
We also manage money for individuals, retirement plans and family trusts. We are prohibited from suggesting, in public, what our investment performance has been or how we stack up against our competition, but we find looking at our own results very gratifying.
