Crawford Capital Corporation (CCC) has been assisting early stage companies in raising capital since 1990. Paul Crawford is both a venture capitalist and an entrepreneur and has been working with developing business since the late 70's.

In addition to raising capital, Paul Crawford has started several successful businesses including Celcom. Celcom was incorporated in Minnesota in 1981 specifically to acquire the first non-wireline cellular license in the first phase of the first U.S. cellular phone systems. The initial cellular licenses in the top 75 U.S. cities where opened to all filers who were then submitted to a series of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) comparative hearings which is similar to how the F.C.C awards radio and television licenses. The balances of the U.S. cellular markets were subsequently placed via a lottery.

The deadline for the initial filings in the top markets was closed in early 1982. Celcom ended-up in a joint venture with MCI. The Twin Cities cellular system operated as MCI/Celcom and subsequently was renamed Cellular One of the Twin Cities. In 1986 MCI/Celcom sold the Twin Cities non-wireline cellular system to McCaw Communications for approximately $43 million.
