Abstract:
A system and method for funding investment seeking companies (ISCs), e.g., startup companies, by a funding company is disclosed. For each of the ISCs, in exchange for private equity therein, the funding company issues a corresponding publicly tradable class of its own stock substantially based on the performance of the ISC. The ISCs are categorized according to characteristics important to investors, e.g., type of technology, revenue, and products or services (to be) offered so that ISCs in a same category compete against one another for funding distributions from the funding company. In particular, income returns on the investments of proceeds from public sales of each class of stock are periodically distributed among competing ISCs according to, e.g., the share prices of their corresponding class of funding company stocks.

Claim (Index 18):
A system for managing investments in a plurality of privately held enterprises, comprising:\n a network interface for communication between potential and actual investors and the plurality of privately held enterprises; a non-transitory computer readable medium having machine instructions encoded therein for implementing at least the steps of:\n collecting or directing the collection of, for each of the plurality of privately held enterprises, money and/or equity for the purpose of making investments or holdings; \n directing, for each of the plurality of privately held enterprises, proceeds from the collecting of money and/or equity as investments for each of the plurality of privately held enterprises; \n evaluating, using specifically configured computational machinery, one or more of the plurality of private enterprises for determining a portion of the proceeds to provide to one or more of the plurality of private enterprises; and \n directing the corresponding portion of the proceeds to one or more of the plurality of privately held enterprises; \n wherein the system further comprises a network site for communicating, via the network, with investors for buying or selling equity, comprising:\n machine instructions encoding an evaluator for determining a funding distribution to one or more of the plurality of privately held enterprises, wherein the evaluator uses either one or both of a share price and a percentage of equity in a first of the plurality of privately held enterprises to determine a funding distribution to at least a first privately held enterprise, and evaluator uses either one or both of a share price and a percentage of equity in at least a second privately held enterprise to determine a funding distribution to the second enterprise; \n wherein the step of evaluating determines the proceeds provided to the at least a first privately held enterprise according to a computational process that compares the proceeds for the first privately held enterprise to either one or both of the share price and percentage of equity in the first privately held enterprise; wherein the step of evaluating further comprises operative communication via the network site for presenting information to at least one of: (i) one or more of the investors and (ii) one or more of the privately held enterprises.
