Leading the Entrex team, and the affiliated YourStreetFunds™ brand, Stephen H. Watkins has structured nearly $5.6 billion in capital commitments around the TIGRcub™ security structure and associated funds. Through these actions he’s personally leading an evolution in the world of corporate and institutional finance that will alter the landscape of capital placement for investors (accredited and institutional), as well as private and public companies in the micro cap and mid market sectors ($5M-$250M), by expanding the ways returns are realized from previously overlooked entrepreneurial growth segments of the American economy.
First, he created Entrex, the broader marketplace of all TIGRcub™ security transactions and the Capital Market System for Private and Entrepreneurial Companies™.
Second, the innovative TIGRcubs™ security structure was launched into the marketplace, providing an institutionalized and standardized structure to capture risk-adjusted returns from the GAAP revenue-flow of private and public companies.
Third, he spearheaded creation of the YourStreetFunds™ brand. A family of funds that capitalize on the proven expertise of third-party Investment Managers to build industry sector and geographic-oriented portfolios that utilize the TIGRcub™ security as primary investment tool.
Currently, efforts are underway to expand the initial offering of public and private YourStreetFunds™ available to investors while simultaneously building the independent Private Company Index™ Inc. fund that co-invests alongside all TIGRcub™ issuances—literally building the Index of the Entrex Marketplace.
