As an entrepreneur, when you make the decision to take an investment, you hope to get money, good advice, and maybe a couple industry contact hook ups that might turn into revenue. But, honestly, you'd just take the money. With CVP, Novi has gotten all three, to the point where the advice and industry contacts are worth more than the money.

Once you get to know the CVP team it’s an easy decision to partner with them. We weren’t necessarily looking to raise capital, but they showed a great ability and strong willingness to work with us on growing the business. Plus… they get bonus points for being a partner we look forward to chatting with on a regular basis.

When we raised capital, we were looking for more than money -- we wanted a partner to help us grow the business. CVP has acted like a true partner to us at every step. They're smart, and willing to roll up their sleeves and get things done. Most importantly, they're guys we're excited to spend the next few years working closely with.
