Info

Founded in 1994, Venture Momentum, Inc., formerly known as IPSI Consulting, Inc., is a financial management firm providing advisory services to early-stage start-ups and small businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to take on, for entrepreneurs, the challenge of adequately shaping and building their organizational infrastructure early on in the life of their business venture, so that they can focus their resources and efforts on product development, marketing and sales, and on creating their team. Through Venture Momentum and its founder, Anthony Nassar, we have advised a number of companies at various development stages ranging from the entrepreneur with an idea, to start-ups preparing for an acquisition or a private round of financing by angels/venture capitalists. For these companies, we have set up financial and human resources recordkeeping systems, implemented internal controls, designed and implemented employee benefits and stock option plans, managed business insurance, automated accounting systems, produced periodic financial statements, prepared business plans and financial plans, performed due diligence, closed angel and venture rounds of financing, and completed acquisition transactions. At Venture Momentum, we believe that start-ups and small businesses should use their financial resources wisely and strive to maintain low levels of corporate overhead. At the same time, they need to be run like public companies, and always be ready to proudly pass outside scrutiny by prospective investors, auditing firms, shareholders, and governmental agencies. We know from experience that these two propositions are not mutually exclusive, as good business practices do not necessarily imply costly administrative procedures. Throughout our engagements, our clients have benefited from our high level of commitment and dedication to quality in order to achieve such an objective. In our quest to provide our clients with a broad range of services tailored for start-ups and small businesses, we have established a growing network of Service Partners whose services complement ours, and with whom we collaborate to serve our clients.
