ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Englewood, Colorado automotive lifestyle business Import Car Parts of Colorado, Inc has been chosen as one of the top 50 emerging companies by over 130 Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors in the FundingPost (http://www.fundingpost.com) Pitching Across America(TM) competition.
Import Car Parts (ICP) is a 23 year old automotive parts wholesaler that is the platform company for a series of acquisitions that will transform ICP from a regional parts wholesale warehouse to a national automotive lifestyle business. The "automotive lifestyle" market can be defined as consumers who identify with automobiles or motor sports as well as businesses that provide those products and services. The plan includes B2C and B2B components for products and services such as hospitality and event management.
Earlier this year Import Car Parts acquired a leading provider of event and travel management services. The acquisition doubled revenue in 2008 and makes ICP a leader in providing integrated event management solutions.
The judges at FundingPost recognized that Import Car Parts has a first tier management team and that the team is capable of taking this business to the next level. The key to success will be to find the right financial partner to close the deals that are on the table plus accelerate growth with new marketing and events.
