BOSTON, Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Developments, Inc. (Pinksheets: GDVM), a venture capital firm which invests in innovative and emerging growth-oriented companies has recently set its sights on Cambridge, Massachusetts where it says "the talented MIT crowd is busting at the seams."
MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, well known for producing some of the most successful internet & technology start-ups the world has ever seen is laden with opportunity right now. More and more students are opting to go out on their own sooner, rather than taking the high paying positions at the larger corporations.
"We have a new breed of entrepreneur," a Global Director stated. "One that has learned through the last economic cycle and has seen corporate America's unpredictability. One that is recognizing the value society is placing on technology, and correlating that value with their own knowledge and passion. These are the leaders of tomorrow. Global Developments' practice is to acquire companies and build their value through investment, mergers & acquisitions, optimal capital structure and strategic oversight. Our goal is to spinout these companies through initial public offerings or direct sales, and share the proceeds of these divestures directly with our shareholders through formula driven dividends and reinvestment of profits."
The company is currently in search of a new office in Cambridge, Massachusetts where it will continue discussions with potential acquisition targets as well as begin an aggressive campaign to identify undervalued companies & technologies.
While staying true to the company's roots, management is currently entertaining a host of debt and equity financing arrangements in order to grow operations and is looking to close on 2-3 acquisitions before year-end.
"After recent meetings, we feel this is the right place to move our resources and consolidate our approach. While our firm has a history of making broad-based investments in a range of industries, we have made the decision to focus primarily on internet & technology based companies moving forward."
