Abstract

VideoGuide is emerging from a development stage start-up and requires a significant capital infusion to commercialize its product. Various financing options are considered including going public, venture capital, private placement, or a strategic partner. Given the "heated" IPO market, VideoGuide is leaning toward going public.
