Welcome to FairFax Capital


About us
Fairfax capital blends innovation and research to advance the needs and wants of the companies it supports financially. As an angel seed incubator, it’s incumbent upon us to back our clients faithfully and always strive to do what’s best for them in both the present and the future. We share concepts and expertise across multiple developmental and sales channels so that we always have the most up-to-date information, prognostications for the future, and cutting-edge techniques.


Your Idea
The “best idea“ is always around the corner. We’re different, however, because we try to “turn the corner“ as a team instead of waiting for something to happen. Passivity is death in the business world. We make things happen for our clients by providing an outstanding combination of human, pecuniary, and technology-based solutions to each of our clients’ points of pain. Hands-on is certainly better than hands-off.


Capital
Once we’ve done our part by providing seed capital, access to larger investors, and a functional sales pipeline, we’ve helped create a startup with the proper tools to perpetuate itself and continue to grow. Rather than leave our clients without traction in the marketplace, we help put them right in front of customers who are interested in them by doing the necessary research to find out which customers prefer which products and services. We give our clients access to strategic partners, too, who will continue to help them develop over the long haul.

Introduction

Welcome to Fairfax Capital


Fairfax capital blends innovation and research to advance the needs and wants of the companies it supports financially. As an angel seed incubator, it’s incumbent upon us to back our clients faithfully and always strive to do what’s best for them in both the present and the future. We share concepts and expertise across multiple developmental and sales channels so that we always have the most up-to-date information, prognostications for the future, and cutting-edge techniques.

We aim to be different from other seed companies through this sharing of information. In fact, to us, the success of each of our clients is a learning experience that we can apply to each new client’s specific situation. Within our company itself, we consider each success of separate departments to be a communal success as well. We are, after all, striving to be the best together so that we provide not only marvelous results but also exemplary customer service along the way.

We understand the quagmires of the startup culture and fancy ourselves terrific tour guides through the swamps and pitfalls facing new companies. It’s a hard truth, but most new companies fail within a year. By focusing on every aspect of startup growth, support, and responsibility, we endeavor to give each of our clients the best chance at long-term success. We seek to educate our clients; thereafter, they can pass on our wisdom to others.

Collaboration among entrepreneurs is key to the success of each business. In such a dog-eat-dog world, going it alone is a recipe for disaster. What’s “normal” isn’t necessarily successful anymore. A strong organization recognizes its weaknesses and tries to better them through collaboration and concurrent learning. We agree with the following statement: Being in business is the best business school.

About us

Who are we?


By being diversified and forward-thinking in approach, we always look for team members who are on the same page. A common vision creates strength and provides stability not only to our company but also to the companies we help. In spite of any obstacles we face, we insist that our team members see all clients through to launch. To us, stick-to-it-ive-ness is as crucial as talent. Although we want our both our leaders and workers to devise industry-leading ideas, we also want them to be dogged in their pursuit of excellence as we strive together to bring each idea to life.

In keeping with our philosophy of “being in business is the best business school,” we encourage each of our clients to develop mentoring as well as instructional skills. Leading by example is the best leadership plan. We model such appropriate leadership by “sending the house” to our clients. Anyone can give a client money, but it takes a quintessential angel company to provide the human capital that both smoothes and invigorates the client’s business. The first indication of success, both with our services and our clients’ growth, is the value provided. We always seek to maximize such value in all cases.

The “best idea” is always around the corner. We’re different, however, because we try to “turn the corner” as a team instead of waiting for something to happen. Passivity is death in the business world. We make things happen for our clients by providing an outstanding combination of human, pecuniary, and technology-based solutions to each of our clients’ points of pain. Hands-on is certainly better than hands-off.

It’s central to our philosophy, too, to blend fun and diligence together. “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” is true; however, so is “all play and no work make Jack an unsuccessful boy.” If we have to power slam Red Bull ® all night to meet a deadline, we do it. If our office is littered with empty Kraft Dinner ® boxes and rapidly cooling mugs of Ramen Noodles ® late into the night, don’t be surprised. That’s not to say that we don’t whack each other with batakas occasionally to let off some steam, but neither work nor play should interfere with the other on the job.

What We Do
At the most basic level, Fairfax Capital provides seed funding for startup companies. Such funding is the earliest stage of developing our clients’ businesses. Very few entrepreneurs who need such funding can afford all of their expenses while “getting off the ground,“ so we provide the necessary cash to handle them so that these entrepreneurs can concentrate on the important cogs of their business machine.
We Bridge the Gap
Once we’ve done our part by providing seed capital, access to larger investors, and a functional sales pipeline, we’ve helped create a startup with the proper tools to perpetuate itself and continue to grow. Rather than leave our clients without traction in the marketplace, we help put them right in front of customers who are interested in them by doing the necessary research to find out which customers prefer which products and services.
More Than Money
We don’t ask for much in return for the help we provide. In fact, we take only small stakes in the companies we fund. These stakes are also an incentive for us to help you do well because, in keeping with our philosophy of shared success, we do well when you do well. We give much more than the money, however. We help you develop ideas. We encourage your creativity. Because we’re experts at figuring out what people want, we’re able to teach you how to figure it out too.
Building Your Start-up
Now that you’re funded through us, what comes next? Many times, we have young entrepreneurs for clients who want us to help them get to the next level right away because they had trouble starting up for a variety of reasons. Others ask us for advice on how to proceed slowly while still maintaining a healthy cash flow and growth profile. Remember, with us on your side, you’re never alone.

Too Busy?

We love chains. When we help you create an innovative business that fills a market need, we also seek ways and means to help you fill additional market needs as offshoots of your primary business.

If we happen to see an opportunity for you to grow that you might not spot yourself, we’ll be proactive and contact you. We’ll provide the extra capital necessary to realize that opportunity, and we’ll both reap the rewards from the fruits of our labor. We enliven great ideas no matter from whence they come.

Additionally, we work with companies who have already gotten their seed capital and are looking at growing or divesting. We help these companies prepare for their “super-sized A rounds.”

We invest at the inflection point of value

The landscape has shifted. More and more money is required for these A rounds. Instead of just giving our clients more money, we teach them to make more of their own by spotting opportunities and acting on them. We help, too, of course, and our combined approach gives our clients strong traction and shows later investors that we can jump massive hurdles and handle limited resources as a team.

When you’re ready to take the plunge or the next step, whichever is applicable, contact us at Fairfax Capital. We’ve got the tools, information, contacts, and instructional capability, not to mention the money itself, to help you be as successful as possible in an ever-changing, 21st-century world. Don’t delay. Call us today before opportunity passes you by without knocking.
