Richard Rinaolo has been managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, in Illinois, for over 5 years. In this capacity, he manages real estate investments, meets with prospective entrepreneurs, and oversees investor relationships. Richard Rinaolo also examines financial statements for prospective investment opportunities. Before investing in a business, investors look for key metrics in the entity’s financial statements. One of these key metrics is profit margins. Even when a business has plenty of sales, those sales are meaningless if they are not bringing in any money. Investors want good profit margins for both the overall company and individual products or services. Higher margins result in better returns for investors, so a company’s profit margins are usually compared to other investment opportunities or industry standards. Prospective investors are also interested in cash flow. This refers to the rate at which companies pay out and take in cash. Current cash flow balances help investors predict the future cash flow of the business, thus determining its growth potential. They also provide insights into the business’ debts and the amount it pays in interest each month. Debt is of particular concern to investors, since debt holders are paid before equity holders in the event the company goes out of business.

About the PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor
A seasoned venture capital fund enthusiast with a background in construction and property acquisition, Richard Rinaolo has held executive positions in several real estate and venture capital firms. Outside of his role as a managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, Richard Rinaolo maintains membership with industry organizations such as the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP) and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
The PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, created by NVCA and PitchBook, is the definitive quarterly report on venture capital activities in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Each quarter, the Venture Monitor compiles detailed information on venture capital activities, including investments, fundraising, exits, and other critical industry analysis.
NVCA promotes public policies that benefit the American entrepreneurial environment, particularly venture capital and startup communities in the United States. NVCA members include venture capital partnerships, corporate venture groups, seed capital, growth equity companies, and university innovation funds. PitchBook is a Seattle-based financial data and software firm.
NVCA Applauds Introduction of Startup Visas
Illinois-based executive Richard Rinaolo serves as managing partner of Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC. Focused on making venture capital investments in real estate and construction projects, he assesses different opportunities, evaluates the capabilities of entrepreneurs involved in such opportunities, and prepares investment offers. Active in the professional community, Richard Rinaolo belongs to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
The voice of the startup and venture capital community, the NVCA was thrilled by the introduction of the Let Immigrants Kickstart Employment (LIKE) Act in July 2021. This legislation would establish a startup visa for foreign-born entrepreneurs, something the NVCA has been advocating for for years. With this visa, foreign-born entrepreneurs would be capable of launching high-growth companies in the United States, thus creating new jobs for citizens and residents.
In the US, there is no dedicated visa category for foreign-born entrepreneurs. Rather, they must seek a different visa, such as an O-1 visa for people with extraordinary abilities. This unfortunately makes launching businesses in the US difficult and pushes foreign-born entrepreneurs away from the country instead of enticing them here.
The NVCA supports the creation of two startup visas: an immigrant and nonimmigrant visa. The nonimmigrant visa would give recipients an initial 3 years, during which time they must play an active role in a startup where they own at least 10 percent. They must also have raised at least $250,000 in investments to qualify for an extension.
Meanwhile, the immigrant visa would be for foreign-born entrepreneurs who play a central role in a company that has created at least 10 qualified jobs and has either raised or generated upwards of $1 million.

19. Raising Capital
Overview:
This week readings introduce corporate finance and different forms of business organizations. The major organizations are sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, and corporations. The advantages and disadvantages of the business organizations are discussed. Sole proprietorship is a type of business owned by one person. The owner makes all the financial decisions and takes all the profits. However, sole proprietorship has unlimited liability and can be held responsible for business debts and obligations. Partnerships can enjoy limited liability but at least one partner must be a general partner, who will be responsible for business debts and obligations. Public corporations have shareholders who invest capital into the business. Corporation can raise huge amount of capital through the sale of stocks in the financial market. Also, corporations enjoy limited liability and unlimited life. We will learn the importance of financial statement analysis and how to compute financial ratios and operating cash flows. Financial managers review and analyze financial statements periodically to uncover financial problems and to assess the business’s progress towards achieving its goals. Ratio analysis enables potential investors to evaluate the firm’s financial performance and the potential for growth. Entrepreneurs with business ideas generally seek long-term capital from various sources including angel investors, venture capital firms, crowdfunding, initial coin offerings, and initial public offering depending on the stage of financing required. Financial planning modeling is used to prepare projected financial statements usually when external funds are needed.

REITS - PROCEED WITH CAUTION
REITs have generally declined in value in 2015, with some losing up to 30% of their value, though some specialty segments have increased up to 40%. The document provides a historical perspective on REITs, noting that many operating companies spun off their real estate assets into separately traded REITs from 2008-2014 to unlock value. However, the proliferation of new REIT offerings has led to overvaluation concerns. While the sell-off offers opportunity, investors must carefully select high-quality, well-run REITs and avoid those that are overpriced or poorly managed.

About the Circus Fans of America's Local Chapters
An alumnus of the University of Chicago, Richard Rinaolo graduated summa cum laude. Since 2014, he has guided Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, as managing partner. Richard Rinaolo is also a member of numerous organizations, including the Circus Fans Association of America (CFA).
The Circus Fans of America has local organizations called "Tents," named after current or past circus producers, owners, or performers. Local festivities are frequently scheduled in conjunction with circus performances at tents. Members will go to the performance as a group and then host a luncheon for the circus employee. Many members also volunteer at circus schools as part of CFA's Circus 4 Youth program.

Impressionism in Music - Claude Debussy
A seasoned business leader and managing partner of real estate firms, Richard Rinaolo has served as managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital for over seven years. Outside of his professional pursuits, Richard Rinaolo enjoys listening to classical music, such as Sergei Rachmaninoff and Claude Debussy compositions.
Born in 1862, Claude Debussy was one the most influential composers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With early influences such as Far Eastern and Russian music, Debussy is often seen as an impressionist composer, a term that he rejected throughout his life.
Impressionism was first seen as a late 19th-century art movement, with the term coined after “Impression, Sunrise,” a painting by Claude Monet. In music, composers were named impressionists as an analogy to impressionist painters. Similar to the movement in paintings, impressionist music explores mood and atmosphere. While the first use light, contrasting colors, and blurry background and foreground, composers apply harmonics, orchestration, texture, and other musical features, such as ambiguous tonality and parallel motion.
Debussy has been considered impressionist since his 1894 symphonic poem Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Besides multiple motifs, he used chromatic scales along with unusual timbres and whole-tone scales. These features set him apart from other music at the time.

PBI-How to Raise Venture Capital
The document provides guidance on raising venture capital funding within 90 days or less. It discusses that venture capital focuses on young, high-growth companies and takes equity stakes rather than debt. The process of raising venture capital typically takes 6-9 months and involves submitting a business plan, undergoing due diligence by investors, securing an investment in exchange for equity, getting support from investors as the company executes its plan, and ultimately exiting via acquisition or IPO. The document outlines a 30-60-90 day plan to efficiently raise venture capital within 3 months if the company is already well-known to investors and has strong performance metrics and market conditions.

About the Circus Fans of America's Local Chapters
An alumnus of the University of Chicago, Richard Rinaolo graduated summa cum laude. Since 2014, he has guided Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, as managing partner. Richard Rinaolo is also a member of numerous organizations, including the Circus Fans Association of America (CFA).
The Circus Fans of America has local organizations called "Tents," named after current or past circus producers, owners, or performers. Local festivities are frequently scheduled in conjunction with circus performances at tents. Members will go to the performance as a group and then host a luncheon for the circus employee. Many members also volunteer at circus schools as part of CFA's Circus 4 Youth program.
The Circus Fans Association of America was founded in 1926 to assist touring circuses and circus artists. A subscription to the CFA's newspaper or White Tops, which offers essays, reviews, and photographs of circus events around the United States and overseas, automatically makes a person a member.
Impressionism in Music - Claude Debussy
A seasoned business leader and managing partner of real estate firms, Richard Rinaolo has served as managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital for over seven years. Outside of his professional pursuits, Richard Rinaolo enjoys listening to classical music, such as Sergei Rachmaninoff and Claude Debussy compositions.
Born in 1862, Claude Debussy was one the most influential composers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With early influences such as Far Eastern and Russian music, Debussy is often seen as an impressionist composer, a term that he rejected throughout his life.
Impressionism was first seen as a late 19th-century art movement, with the term coined after “Impression, Sunrise,” a painting by Claude Monet. In music, composers were named impressionists as an analogy to impressionist painters. Similar to the movement in paintings, impressionist music explores mood and atmosphere. While the first use light, contrasting colors, and blurry background and foreground, composers apply harmonics, orchestration, texture, and other musical features, such as ambiguous tonality and parallel motion.
Debussy has been considered impressionist since his 1894 symphonic poem Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Besides multiple motifs, he used chromatic scales along with unusual timbres and whole-tone scales. These features set him apart from other music at the time.
Popular Hiking Spots in and around Dallas, Texas
Richard Rinaolo earned his master’s degree in the classics (Greek and Latin language, literature, and linguistics) from the University of Chicago. Currently a resident of Dallas, Texas, he spent more than 15 years in the real estate development industry in Illinois, where he earned several awards for design and preservation. In 2009, he joined the venture capital industry, and currently serves as managing partner for Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC. When he is not seeking investment opportunities or mentoring entrepreneurs, Richard Rinaolo enjoys tending to his reef aquarium, playing pool and golf, and hiking.
The area in and around Dallas and Fort Worth has no shortage of nice hiking trails, some paved and others with natural surfaces. One of the most popular trails, the Katy Trail, is a repurposed section of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. The name Katy comes from the railway’s name, the MKT. The Katy traverses 3.5 miles of parkland through the city’s urban core, or can be done as a seven-mile round-trip. It consists of a concrete-paved surface for cyclists and walkers with strollers, and a soft-surface path for hikers and runners.
Maintained and operated by Audubon Dallas, the Cedar Ridge Preserve in southwest Dallas is a 600-acre nature preserve that resembles Texas hill country, but set within the urban milieu. The preserve hosts more than nine miles of natural-surface trails rated from easy to medium. Cedar Ridge is closed on Mondays, as well as during and after rainfalls for safety and ecological reasons.
Located northwest of Dallas near Flower Mound, the Northshore Trail is a natural-surface, 23-mile loop that roughly follows part of the north shore of Lake Grapevine. The terrain is rated moderately difficult for hikers, and features plenty of shade and impressive lake vistas. There are three trailheads, two of which require an entrance fee.
Reef Aquariums and Maintaining Live Corals
Richard Rinaolo delivers client-centered property acquisition and construction solutions as a managing partner with Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC. Active with the Chicagoland Marine Aquarium Society, Richard Rinaolo has experience in maintaining a reef aquarium.
With a colorful, craggy appearance of a healthy tropical sea floor, coral reef systems are a sought-after element of contemporary home aquariums. When keeping coral healthy, a major technological challenge is mimicking the equatorial sun within an indoor environment. This is enabled through advanced LED light systems, which have been developed over the past two decades.
While indoor coral were initially collected in the wild and imported to the United States, today many varieties are farm-raised by coral aquaculture operations. This makes it a sustainable endeavor. Transplanted into indoor reef tanks, often on rocks, the coral are integrated within complex ecosystems that include artificial lights, wave-making pumps, and beneficial organisms such as janitor shrimp.
With each coral type unique, a key focus is on maintaining the proper pH and ensuring that invasive microorganisms do not flourish. Live coral must be handled with care, as some can release hazardous palytoxins when brushed, exposed to hot water, or even handled without gloves.
The Birth of the American-Style Circus
Richard Rinaolo is an entrepreneur/businessman who has worked in the real estate, construction, and venture capital industries. A resident of Dallas, Texas, Richard Rinaolo is a member of the Circus Fans of America.
The American-style circus began in the United States after the War of 1812. Joshua Purdy Brown was credited with introducing the new format.
The “Second Great Awakening” was an era marked by religious revivalism. During this time, the leaders of Wilmington, Delaware, prohibited public amusements in the city. To circumvent the law, Joshua Purdy Brown moved his show to the outskirts of the city and erected a canvas tent to enclose the event. This was ideal for people who lived on the edges of town.
Circuses spread after the introduction of the Transcontinental Railroad in May 1869. PT Barnum took this idea a step further when he organized a 100-wagon traveling circus, menagerie, museum, and caravan. Thus, the American circus began with creativity and innovation.

Richard Rinaolo has served as a managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, in Evanston, Illinois, since 2014. When he is not pursuing construction and real estate opportunities on behalf of the venture capital fund, Richard Rinaolo maintains memberships with a number of philanthropic organizations, including the Lake Forest Open Lands Association.
The Art Institute of Chicago’s Teen Lab Program
Richard Rinaolo works as managing partner of Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, an Evanston, Illinois-based investment company. Outside of his professional pursuits, Richard Rinaolo supports local organizations like the Art Institute of Chicago.
Up and Coming at the Art Institute of Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is hosting a special exhibit on the architecture of David Adjaye from September 19, 2015 to January 3, 2016. The exhibit will feature some of Adjaye's sketches, drawings, and building models. Adjaye takes an international approach to his architecture, exploring themes like building new communities. He has designed over 50 projects including the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

Key Metrics Prospective Investors Look at in Financial Statements
- 2. Introduction Richard Rinaolo has been managing partner at Phoenix Venture Capital, LLC, in Illinois, for over 5 years. In this capacity, he manages real estate investments, meets with prospective entrepreneurs, and oversees investor relationships. Richard Rinaolo also examines financial statements for prospective investment opportunities.
- 3. Before investing in a business, investors look for key metrics in the entity’s financial statements. One of these key metrics is profit margins. Even when a business has plenty of sales, those sales are meaningless if they are not bringing in any money. Investors want good profit margins for both the overall company and individual products or services. Higher margins result in better returns for investors, so a company’s profit margins are usually compared to other investment opportunities or industry standards.
- 4. Prospective investors are also interested in cash flow. This refers to the rate at which companies pay out and take in cash. Current cash flow balances help investors predict the future cash flow of the business, thus determining its growth potential. They also provide insights into the business’ debts and the amount it pays in interest each month. Debt is of particular concern to investors, since debt holders are paid before equity holders in the event the company goes out of business.
