Austin, Texas - January 28, 2009 The Texas Coalition for Capital is announcing the release of the most comprehensive list of capital sources in Texas.

The Blue Chip Investors list will detail public and private funding sources that are actively investing in all business sectors across the state.

The announcement coincides with the Texas Emerging Technology Fund 2009 Venture Capital Symposium, a two-day event taking place in Austin that introduces the program's portfolio companies to prospective investors.

"I believe that emerging companies need better access to capital to ensure their growth over the long term," said Craig Casselberry, president of the Texas Coalition for Capital. "This list will provide the information needed to allow these companies to access early stage funding."

Access to working capital often makes the difference between success and failure for small and emerging companies. Working with industry partners, investors, and public and private sector leaders, the Texas Coalition for Capital has become the premier resource in Texas for information on public and private sources of long term capital for entrepreneurs and emerging companies.

The Coalition continues to promote strong economic development and job creation in Texas by connecting companies with capital. Many small businesses are unaware of the broad spectrum of funding sources at their disposal. With the help of an impressive advisory board consisting of distinguished business leaders and entrepreneurs from across the state, the Coalition has helped secure nearly one billion dollars in funding for programs supporting young companies.
