Today’s investment community is faced with the dilemma between supporting dying properties already in their portfolio or investing in new projects which follow economic models that are reaching their limits. As a consequence, investors have been freezing their initiatives and awaiting the “next big thing” without necessarily understanding what it will be.
The new Enhanced Communications industry delivers on the promise of high-value, bandwidth-intensive services such as global movie distribution or real-time corporate data warehouse access on any device. Specific technology projects that address a specific problem/solution in the Enhanced Communications industry are presented to SigEx Ventures for initial funding, and those that pass this initial hurdle continue through the Foundry’s proven validation and development process. The resulting sustainable ventures provide a unique opportunity for the teams involved and for investors to be a part of this emerging industry.

Sigex Ventures by Silvia Baldin
SigEx Ventures, Inc. is a private investment fund focused exclusively on the emerging Enhanced Communications industry. Using funds raised from individual (angel) investors, SigEx Ventures funds projects for the Foundry’s development programs. Thus, SigEx Ventures, in conjunction with the Foundry, enables fully-funded, viable structures for business R&D to address alpha-beta development projects for strategic customers that include global telecommunications carriers, network equipment manufacturers, information technology companies, and digital content providers. The projects developed by the Foundry are all pre-funded by the SigEx Ventures investments fund for a period of 12 to 18 months. The most successful of these may become sustainable ventures.

SigEx Foundry converts sustainable student projects into new companies by Silvia Baldin
SigEx Foundry is Creating companies for the new industry
With new opportunities and the right technology to deliver Enhanced Communications, the new industry needs to reinvent itself to create the companies of today’s and tomorrow’s telecommunications brands.
SigEx Foundry, pioneer and leader of the Enhanced Communications industry is mandating the Foundry, a re-training and company creation program, to develop custom Enhanced Communications training and deploy thousands of engineers over the next five years. The new industry requires a minimum critical mass of newly trained engineers able to develop and install Enhanced Communications products and services on a global basis.
The SigEx Foundry is a revolutionary training, research and development center that uses proven methodologies and management techniques to create successful companies based on advanced technology innovations. One of the requirements of development projects and companies launched by The Foundry is that they be sustainable businesses. Sustainability is about not depending on the market, and is a very strong asset in building technology companies today with excellent potential for creating value and personal wealth.
Tools used to create sustainability include use of our own investment fund, SigEx Ventures, combined with structures that provide value, distribution of equity and a controlled exit strategy. This approach creates a level of sustainability that allows our project companies to control their own destinies. Projects are pre-funded for 12 to 18 months of operation through SigEx Ventures, providing investors opportunities for a high return on investment based on micro investment funding (small structures grow faster), and providing Foundry graduates with stable opportunities for growth.
The SigEx Foundry’s proven process using three phases of validation provides a solid foundation for sustainability after projects are launched. A “win-by-design” approach with strategic customers enables products to be designed to meet customer needs while patents are secured. Monthly builds continue to validate products and services through the development stage, enabling them to be adapted to strategic customer needs and ensuring their value proposition.
Using this approach, SigEx Foundry builds companies in a sustainable way.
