Intellian Capital Advisors to Launch $20 Million Bridge Fund for Undercapitalized Companies

HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwire - October 8, 2008) - Intellian Capital Advisors, LLC, a full service merchant banking firm, announced the formation of a bridge fund to assist companies that are undercapitalized and require working capital. The turmoil in our global financial markets has caused a systematic change in the financial community, where access to additional liquidity is necessary for continued corporate growth.

As a result of recent market conditions, Intellian Capital and its partners have identified a niche market and have begun a course of action to raise $20 million for the creation of a bridge fund to be fully collateralized by assets. The company is working with private equity and other individual investors. The Bridge Fund will focus on the low to middle market sector across all industries, with the exception of real estate.

"Management teams must be fully prepared in this recessionary environment, especially as investors start to inquire about potential worst-case scenarios. Having an accurate understanding about their company's existing and potential exposures and access to credit and other short-term capital needs is imperative for continued growth. A clear and transparent understanding of the downside risks is necessary before the upside potential can be fully realized," commented Intellian Managing Director Vikram Arneja.

Intellian Managing Director Bernie Gartenlaub added, "The Bridge Fund will leverage Intellian's Advisory Services division, which was formed to assist our clients to prepare themselves to meet the demanding due diligence process necessary to access capital markets. Thus, the Bridge Fund will enable Intellian to provide a vertically integrated, one-stop shop, which offers a wide range of business consultation services, industry insight and on-site strategic guidance. This includes writing a business plan, preparing a financial presentation, and introducing clients to investors."

"Because it is so difficult for companies with strong fundamentals to raise capital in today's market, we see a significant need for a fund to provide bridge financing, until longer-term capital can be obtained," commented Intellian Managing Partner Ron Gray.
