EDA Fund Names Managing Director
After a 3 month international search, The EDA Fund has named Robert Manasier as Managing Director of the hybrid venture capital/private equity/investment bank fund created by Autonomy Distributors’ successful exit of their international export operations.
New York, NY, October 27, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The EDA Fund is part of EDA Funding, the newest venture between Autonomy Distributors and In Focus Brands from their successful build out and exit of an international distribution division in 2016. EDA Funding has 2 divisions: the EDA Fund (a hybrid VC/PE fund that invests in existing firms that have attained sustainable revenue for a number of quarters and are searching for next level partners) and CrowdBuild ™ (a SaaS-software as a service- subscription model that builds your community and guides you into a successful crowdfunding campaign with key proprietary metrics, CRM, market automation tools and social media integration).
Tara Lin of Autonomy Distributors explains, “We hired Bob (Robert Manasier) for the great questions he asks. We are proof of his solutions but his questions set him apart for us. He is the best manager of people and time that we have ever worked with. With our growth plans, a strong, decisive leader is needed and Bob fits that bill better than anyone else. We have had the pleasure of being in the trenches with him for over 2 years through a startup, acceleration and exit and now this new build of technology and a fund. Through it all, he is a calm leader who keeps it focused and fun for the team and our clients. We loved what his DPCD Fund did for us (we used In Focus Brands and the Diamond Point Co-Development Fund to launch our new US export firm in 2014) but wanted more control over our investments and more next level progression. Bob and our team built out the new CrowdBuild ™ SaaS and devised this hybrid fund.”
As a hybrid funding vehicle, The EDA Fund brings strong leadership, expertise and an active equity stake along with funding to the client partners. The fund guarantees operational assistance from seasoned, motivated, incentivized experts that have been through the growth and scale of numerous companies.
Pen Li, international liaison for Autonomy Distributors adds, “Everything we needed in a leader: seasoned, reasoned, motivated, driven, emotional intelligence, impeccable integrity, expert timing, vision and disciplined execution were on display throughout the years we have worked with Bob. We appreciate the flexibility of thought and culture he built most.”
Robert (Bob) Manasier comments, “I am very excited to continue my relationship with the great people at Autonomy Distributors and the future staff of EDA Funding. We built the fund as a best practice fund combining all the essential elements of the differing funding options/solutions we have worked with over our careers and are very pleased with our newest technology created CrowdBuild ™ that will bring results-based tools to any company, startup, non profit or entrepreneur needing to go the crowdfunding path.”
Up next for EDA Funding is: launching the new SaaS for crowdfunding, sponsoring StartUp Weekend 5-Troy on November 4-6, 2016 at Russell Sage and recruiting added sales and tech staff for the new divisions.”
