Saguaro Ventures is a new venture fund focused on high technology ventures in Arizona and the Southwest region of the United States.  This region is growing rapidly with a strong entrepreneurial culture and spirit.  Recent government and university initiatives have accelerated the quantity and quality of new ventures in the region.  Our fund is designed to take advantage of this new market opportunity for venture investment.

As a venture capital fund we serve two key constituencies.  First and foremost are our investors.  Investors in our fund need to feel confident in our ability to safely and profitably invest their money.  Specifically, they must trust our management team, have confidence in our investment acumen, and see us as experienced leaders who are innovative and insightful.

Our second constituency is the entrepreneurs we invest in.  Entrepreneurs must see us as their strategic partner who will work closely with them to achieve success.  We want to foster a feeling of teamwork, experience and trust. 

Our logo must capture these values.  Key descriptors include: integrity, trust, innovative, insightful, experienced, bold, leadership, teamwork, strategic partner and profitable.

As additional background, the Saguaro is a cactus that is unique to this region of the country.  It is a symbol of strength, individuality and quiet confidence.  You can read more about the Saguaro at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saguaro

We will need to use the logo on our website, in printed marketing materials and on business cards / stationery
