ABOUT

OUR COMPANY

Established in 2012 in Lyon FRANCE Keating International (KI) is a specialized corporate finance and advisory firm focused on supporting early stage technology companies solving problems in our focus market sectors with the next generation of advanced technologies.

OUR EARLY STAGE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY CLIENT CHALLENGES

Management of our early stage technology company clients have two challenges.

Maximizing the economic value of a company’s growth and growth opportunities is first.

Maximizing shareholder wealth by translating that economic value into market value is the second.

Achievement of the first challenge depends upon management’s investment, operating and financing decisions.

Investment decisions focus on the selection of capital strategies in which to invest, harvest and sell in order to generate returns on investment of capital in excess of the cost of that capital.

Financing decisions focus on supporting investment decisons with the lowest possible average cost of capital.

And operating decisions focus on the selection of business strategies by which to compete in chosen markets at operating margins which generate profit in excess of the cost of capital.

Achievement of the second challenge depends upon management’s ability to communicate the impact that its decisions will have on the company’s future cash flows.

It’s a function of management’s ability to attract/develop a “popularity flow” of capital into its shares.

In other word’s, it’s about management’s ability to create investor demand for the company’s stock.
