Mozes Victor Konig Launches MVK Ventures SARL

Oftentimes, when an innovator has a great, financially sound business plan, getting to the next step of acquiescing needed funds shuts them down.  In other words, many start-ups don’t start up as they fail at the first hurdle.

Mozes Victor Konig launched MVK Ventures SARL in 2011 precisely for this reason.  He understood what it was like to be turned away from business bank loans and thus decided to put his investing and VC experience into MVK Ventures SARL.

MVK Ventures SARL today acts as the connecting guiding force between potential start-ups and banks such as HSBC.  With the experience of working with these financial entities, MVK Ventures SARL is able to work on the fiscal side, leaving potential entrepreneurs and their teams with time to focus on developing a solid business plan and product.

Konig sits with each client and discusses what option is best for them.  From borrowing money from friends and family (not advisable) to trading services, bootstrapping (for those with enough capital, again not the best idea unless one has a huge cashflow), a business incubator or the various bank loans such as term or SBA lines or even a microloan.

Mozes Victor Konig on Understanding Secondary Markets

MVK Ventures SARL – headed by Mozes Victor Konig – has recently found its niche in the secondary market.  Established in 2011 as a way of helping startup companies get funding, since its inception the firm has provided access to fiscal backing to many firms.

The secondary market – also known as the stock market – is a market through which investors buy and sell their own securities such as NYSE, NASDAQ, Euronext, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, etc. The main focus of secondaries markets are investors exchanging with each other, as opposed to buying and selling from the issuing entity. One of the main differences between primary markets and secondary markets is that the former’s prices are usually set ahead of time whereas the latter’s prices are the result of supply and demand.

Konig has encountered various benefits directing MVK Ventures SARL to use secondary markets.  One of the most obvious of these being that investors are able to profit well in a much shorter time frame.  In addition, for working with companies needing investments, the stock prices in secondary markets gives him an edge in how to most accurately appraise the firms.

There is for sure an untapped niche in this area.  MVK Ventures has managed to benefit from this while helping its clients.

Mozes Victor Konig on Start-ups and VCs

Working in the Venture Capital industry can be a great opportunity for the right person.  It is not for everyone (and thankfully there are a multitude of entrepreneurial options available for those for whom it is less suitable) but it is a good option for some.

CEO of MVK Ventures SARL Mozes Victor Konig has been working in the VC community for some years now.  Specifically in the start-up venture space.  This is unfortunately an oft-untapped category of the industry. For example, back in 1997 figures showed that out of the $10bn Venture Capitalists invested, only $600m (6 percent) went to startups. MVK Ventures SARL has been trying to redress this balance.

The VC industry has been able to work with those with tremendous talent who require capital to get their idea off the ground.  These wannabe entrepreneurs just need a helping hand and then they can make a successful business.  Companies such as MVK Ventures SARL – which has to date created 32 portfolio investments, 9 exits, and 4 unicorns – wants be a part of this process.
