Egan-Managed Capital was formed by the Egan family with the objective of helping future entrepreneurs build significant enterprises. They seek opportunities to invest in companies where they can provide more than just capital. They look for situations where they can provide tactical and strategic assistance in areas where they have relevant
knowledge.
They manage three venture capital funds - Egan-Managed Capital I, Egan-Managed Capital II, and Egan-Managed Capital III.

Egan-Managed Capital III has $90 million of capital and was formed in October 2003. The fund is prepared to make investments in the range of $1 million to $6 million, but their preferred initial appetite is between $2 and $3 million.
Deal structure
Their investments typically take the form of Convertible Preferred Stock with the traditional protections afforded institutional investors like them. These include Registration Rights, Voting Agreements, etc. Since providing assistance to their portfolio companies is such an important part of their investment philosophy, they nearly always require a board seat. They find that by being an active member of the Board of Directors they are in a position to share their insights and participate in the strategic direction of the Company.
