PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LV Sharp (http://lvsharp.com/) wasn’t a household name in 2012. But the hip-hop sensation is becoming one this year, thanks to Funding Wagon, a company that provides the wherewithal for talented new entertainers to secure the funding and business expertise necessary to succeed.
Sharp and her funding experience were recently profiled by Citibank -- https://www.citibank.com/womenandco/article/how-i-financed-my-small-business.jsp.
Her career continues to skyrocket with a debut album in the works, where she will be accompanied on a track by none other than Tyga, the hip hop star produced by Cash Money Records.
Meanwhile, Funding Wagon (www.fundingwagon.com), which was co-founded by serial entrepreneur Peter J. Burns III, is trying to help other entertainers bring structure to their talent, by helping them create a business plan, replete with three years of detailed pro-forma P&Ls.
The next step involves securing the necessary funds to execute against that plan. Funding Wagon, through its parent company B3 Funding Partners, provides access to a vast web of small private equity firms, boutique banks, and personal investors, who believe in entrepreneurship and the concept of growth capital.
The final step falls to Eddie Lemons, the president of IM Music Group and manager of LV Sharp, and the creative team at Funding Wagon, led by marketing guru Cyrus Igono and AJ Colores of Mill & Broadway.
“Funding Wagon has all the elements to revolutionize the music industry,” said Lemons, a veteran of the music industry and principal at Funding Wagon. “The typical scenario is that you have the talent, the business acumen, or the funds. But rarely do you have all three. Funding Wagon is closing the loop.”
Burns added that the timing of Funding Wagon couldn’t be better.
“There is a well-spring of talent around the country,” said Burns (www.peterburnsiii.com). “LV Sharp is a shining example of this.”
