About :: Welcome Techcrunch readers. Fountain Financial Partners is a direct funding source to businesses seeking greater flexililty than traditional financing sources are able to offer.  We are a trusted partner to entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, banks, brokers, and other private lenders and lessors because we are in business to complement the client's existing capital structure as a flexible, non-dilutive source of funds.  We focus on leasing traditional assets to non-traditional credits and non-traditional assets to traditional credits.  We do not provide equity capital and we do not provide short-term loans or working capital loans, but we are happy to make introductions to those who do.   In addition to financing traditional venture capital backed companies, we also invest in companies that range in stage from purely bootstrapped pre-revenue companies to billion dollar businesses under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.   History :: Fountain Partners and Fountain Financial Partners were founded by Tom Carter, CFA.  Tom started Fountain Partners in 2001 to provide advisory services and personal capital to select companies innovating within the financial services sector.  On the capital side, Tom invested directly and through other managers in alternative investment strategies including asset based lending and real estate debt and equity strategies and Tom has invested directly in several private companies.
