Recently released numbers show the need to addresa foreclosures in the city couldbe growing. Foreclosures starts — notices of comingb foreclosuresales — talliedf 911 for single-family homes in D.C. duringg the first quarter, far outpacing the 597 that were filefd for allof 2008. That means a spikd in foreclosures could be onthe way. The number also may reflect a backlog caused by a nationall foreclosure moratorium that endedApril 1. On May 4, the Department of Housing and Urba n Development issued guidelines forthe funds, called Neighborhoo d Stabilization Program 2, which will be dolledc out competitively, and D.C.
Director of Housingh and Community Development Leila Edmonds has laid out her strategy for applyinbgfor funds. Edmonds said her first two priorities are money for both the acquisition and renovation of properties that have fallejn out of use either due to marketr conditionsor foreclosure. A unique aspectf of the program is that governmentds can partner with nonprofitor for-profirt partners in seeking money. “Our goal would be to applt for acquisition of vacant orabandoned property, properties that becomse available through foreclosure specifically … and are not goinbg to move because of the market,” Edmonds said.
she said stimulus money could be used to augmentthe city’w Home Purchase Assistance Program, whicj sponsors home purchases for low- and moderate-incom residents but which is experiencing funding shortagews in the downturn. Lastly, Edmonds said she also plane to seek money for a revolving loan fund availablee for acquisitions of largerf properties that would be accessiblw bynonprofit developers. “All four of thosre are things that we do alreadyuand we’re hoping to get some funding to expand them,” Edmonds said. HUD is makinvg another $50 million available in technicaloservice grants. The deadline for application isJuly 17.

Azure Capital adds up $1.3 billion in 2008 deals - San Francisco Business Times:

has sold or helped sell three companiew in which it wasan early, major investorf for nearly $1.3 billion. “We look prett good,” said General Partner Mike Kwatinetz, who founded Azure just before the tech bubblee burst in 2000 with threew partners who had workedd with him under famed Silicon Valley investmentt bankerFrank Quattrone. Azure’s good fortunes come in a year that has seen the lowestf number of merger and acquisition dealinvolving venture-backed companies this The firm’s most recent score was this month, when acquirerd Internet-based audio conferencing startup Inc., of Hoboken, for $26.6 million in cash, plus abouy $4.
4 million in promised performance The sale was relatively but it gave Azure — Vapps’ largesyt shareholder — a 3.6-fold returnh in less than 18 months. Azure led a $2.5 millionh Series A financing in the company inAprikl 2007. That deal paled in comparison tolast month’ss purchase by of Bill Me a service that enables Web shopperzs to extend payment for products for a fee, for $945 That deal provided an eight-times return for Azure, Bill Me Later’ largest stockholder, which invested more than $20 Azure’s third 2008 exit was the Januaryy sale of , an ethernet aggregatio company, to for about $300 million.
Azurd declined to say what it invested or what itsreturbn was. Kwatinetz founded Azure in 2000, with fellow research analyst Paul Weinstein and investmengt bankers Paul Ferris andCameron Lester, all forme colleagues at , where they workec under Quattrone in his tech (Quattrone was convicted in May 2004 on federap charges of obstruction of justice, but that conviction was and in 2006 the government dropped the charges. None of Azure’d partners were accused of wrongdoing.) Kwatinetaz says Quattrone’s tech unit, a “firm within a generated $1.5 billion in revenue a year aftere justfour years.

Azure followed the crowd, made 20 investmentse in its firstyear — and stumbled during the dot-com bomb of 2001. Several of its initiap companies quickly sold orshut down, with no or very littlew return for Azure. “We probably were overlh aggressive thatfirst year,” admits Kwatinetz. Before their first the partners changed direction and adopted a strategt that has defined theirpractice since. They decided to slow doing only four to six deals a year.
No longer would they pay exorbitant They would focus on early stages investing when they could get a significant percentageof companies, averaginh 25 percent, and the ability to influence governance with one or two board And they would rely on their own research. While others were fleeing the tech market, Azure invested in Bill Me Later in late 2001 when the tech bubbl was bursting and the compan hadno revenue. Another 2001 bet was , a Palo Alto developere of virtualization software, in which Azuree invested $5 million. Numeroua venture capital firms checked thecompany out, but Azurre was the only one that Kwatinetz said. VMware was acquired by for $675 milliohn in December 2003.
