    Description:

    Originate Ventures is a venture capital investment firm which targets early stage and emerging growth product companies in Pennsylvania and the surrounding regions. Originate focuses on investing in information technology, healthcare, consumer, web based and certain commercial products and/or product distribution opportunities. Originate also considers the opportunity to build a management team around a great product idea, certain distressed and turnaround situations, and management buyouts as strong investment candidates. The firm looks to make investments in a range of $500,000 to $4 million. Originate believes their brand-building techniques and experience uniquely permit them to accelerate growth and reduce additional capital rounds, allowing founding entrepreneurs to retain more ownership--almost three decades of experience, in over 60 categories, also allows them to better identify and assist in creating strong brands.
