Shepherd Advisors works with companies to secure funding for a
range of growth ventures, and regularly works with both private and
public capital sources.
In Shepherd's local Michigan market, the program with the most
money available -- private or public -- starting in 2006 is the
State's 21st Century Jobs Fund (21CJF), which was funded with $200MM
for 2006 and 2007, and is expected to disburse $100MM each year
through 2015.
Because of the significance of the 21CJF program
in Shepherd's local market, and a vacuum of non-official information
about the program, Shepherd maintains the MI 21CJF web
site (www.mi21cjf.com),
regularly posting updates and commentary on the
program.
