About Stephen H. Watkins

Smiley face

Mr. Watkins is an experienced entrepreneur founding and growing a series of successful information and business services companies. His efforts raising capital and exiting from these companies repeatedly demonstrated the inefficient and unstructured path that entrepreneurial companies experience when trying to access the capital markets. These experiences inspired Mr. Watkins to conceive a capital market for entrepreneurial companies: Entrex. To create public awareness of the entrepreneurial sector Mr. Watkins wrote a nationally syndicated financial column which had readership of over 8,000,000.  He also founded, working together with the Dow Index Team, the Private Company Index (PrivateCompanyIndex.com) which helped to establish the vibrancy of the "top-line" of the entrepreneurial sector.  In 2006 Mr. Watkins authored the book: "Capital Can't Fund What it Can't Find", which focused on capital markets, capital formation and capital access for entrepreneurial companies. Mr. Watkins is active in the US Chamber of Commerce, Fortune Small Business, and other global business forums which provide him regular opportunities to speak to entrepreneurial company CEO's about Growth, Financing and Capital formation.
