ZURICH, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- One month after the successful launch of DealMarketSTORE, a platform offering  access  to  industry-leading  third-party  private  equity  services  on  demand,  DealMarket announced a close cooperation with CapitalOnStage to foster entrepreneurship and enable start-ups to more efficiently get access to seed and venture capital.

DealMarket is a platform for managing venture capital deals online, while CapitalOnStage is a unique podium for sourcing venture capital deals offline. CapitalOnStage is an unconventional and invitation- only conference where leading Venture Capitalists & Angel Investors pitch themselves to highly promising start-ups – instead of the reverse. Together, DealMarket and CapitalOnStage leverage both the online and offline presence for the good of both entrepreneurs and investors, enabling the start- up industry that drives innovation and generates new jobs.

CapitalOnStage  uses  DealMarket's  unique  online  deal  flow  management  tool  OFFICE  to  increase visibility of the start-ups' ideas and investment opportunities. At the same time, DealMarket's online platform enables investors to get better and unfiltered access to the investment opportunities and provides  start-ups  with  awareness  and  visibility  within  the  large  CapitalOnStage  investors  circle. Additionally, start-ups can publish their investment deal to DealMarket's public platform with more than 35,000 users globally.

"I was looking for a partner who could really deliver on its promise to run an online marketplace for VC and PE deals professionally. With our long-term partnership we are able to offer our combined clients the opportunity to source and manage deals in one place. I strongly believe that the virtual fosters the physical - now and in the future." Arjen Strijker, founder & CEO of CapitalOnStage, commented.

After successful events in Amsterdam and London, the next CapitalOnStage will take place in New York on November 9th  on the 26th floor of the New York Times building. Besides DealMarket, Silicon Valley Bank, Goodwin Procter, and KPMG sponsor the event.  Starting 2013, DealMarket and CapitalOnStage will cover Europe with more funding events in Berlin and London in May and June.

"DealMarket  steps  from  the  virtual  world  into  the  real  world.  With  this  cooperation  we  are consistently  pursuing our vision to  build an ecosystem  for investors and capital seekers to  provide better,  simpler  and  more  transparent  access  to  capital  and  investment  opportunities  around  the world." said Urs Haeusler, CEO DealMarket.
