He donates time and money to charity including the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York, St. Jude Research Hospital, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and spearheads a charity that he founded: Kramer’s Kidz Club.
The organization focuses on children that struggle with various illnesses. The Kidz Club offers out several programs to help underprivileged children. Kramer executes one initiative to provide for ailing children confined to hospitals.

All things considered, Curt Kramer is still a small-business owner, so he manages Asher with an astute understanding of what small cap and emerging growth companies need. He commits to clients financially as well as personally. Accordingly, the company provides funding in the form of Convertible Promissory Notes, a unique and mutually advantageous resource for small cap companies in today’s economy.
Before founding Asher Enterprises, Curt Kramer found success in private investing. Without the experience in investing, Kramer would not have started the company, which has funded hundreds of emerging growth companies. Kramer also developed a great deal of expertise and acquired many skills in his career before starting his company.
Kramer grew up on Long Island in Nassau County. He decided that Great Neck, New York was an ideal community to begin a new chapter in his personal and professional life. Curt Kramer established the main offices for his company in an area in which he has firmly-planted roots.
Asher Enterprises is an industry leader in origination of loans to small-cap public companies. Born in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Asher Enterprises perceived a unique opportunity to provide funds to companies otherwise unavailable to them from conventional sources. Asher Enterprise’s analysis of the public filings of typical small-cap companies revealed that for the most part, while their shares were publicly traded, that they had insufficient income and/or collateral required by most lenders.
Into this void Kramer implemented a business model featuring convertible loan transactions. Borrowers under this format had the ability to choose between repayments at reasonable interest rates or in the alternative, permit the company to convert their debt into equity. While some borrowers choose to repay their obligations in cash, the vast majority prefer the conversion feature, thereby preserving capital urgently needed for corporate purposes.
The success of this business model is exemplified by its overwhelming acceptance by the many small-cap public companies that have chosen to do business with Curt and Asher Enterprises. To date, the company has made convertible loans to in excess of 300 to 500 companies investing tens of millions of dollars. The company believes that its current clients are its best source of promotion. All prospective clients are provided with a referral list containing over 100 existing client companies with the names and contact information for those company’s leadership. The company always tells new customers that the best way to find out about current performance is to speak with existing customers, their fellow peers in the emerging growth company space.
The vast majority of Ashers’ borrowers are sufficiently satisfied with the structure of these loans and Curt Kramer’s and Asher Enterprises’ performance of its obligations. This is plainly evident in the continuing relationship between the borrowers and the company whereby borrowers regularly seek and obtain additional funding on an as-needed basis.
Asher Enterprises is not a hedge-fund, accountable as such to investors. The company is solely owned by Kramer who alone determines the eligibility, terms and conditions of any loan made by Asher. Once Curt has approved a loan, appropriate documents are transmitted to the borrowers virtually immediately and funding generally occurs within 48 hours.
In addition to his altruistic business endeavors, Curt has always invested in strengthening communities through charity. Apart from frequent donations and volunteer efforts, Kramer has established a remarkable organization: Kramer’s Kidz Club. The organization has accomplished a variety of charitable undertakings, but it has mostly helped children suffering from harsh illnesses. Kidz Club programs offer hospitalized children activities to occupy and excite them.
Currently, Curt Kramer and his company are involved with several other charities, including the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York, St. Jude Research Hospital, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The company has plans to expand its charitable activities and to incorporate volunteerism into its company model.
Kramer has always been one to discover new learning resources on business and investment and then to share them with colleagues. Whether it is the latest informational book or noteworthy podcasts, he has always been eager to enhance his and others’ business practices.
Kramer’s considerate approaches to business and community have also made him an amazing boss, a great listener and a mentor for fellow professionals.
For now, Curt Kramer will remain the sole shareholder and primary server of Asher Enterprises. Having worked as a private investor for years before Asher’s inception, Kramer’s ambition and his keen eye for promising investments will certainly continue to serve him. By the same token, Kramer’s passion for making strides in investing will enable Asher Enterprises to flourish.
His charitable endeavors, such as Kramer’s Kidz Club, will continue to serve the underprivileged and strengthen communities. If the organization expands, Kramer will be able to serve more children in hospitals around Nassau County and beyond.
As Kramer raises his three children, he will doubtlessly empathize with what parents of ill children suffer. Kramer will remain attentive to new ways that his Club can help hospitalized children and their families.
Having balanced the many areas of his life so well thus far, Kramer can definitely devise new, scheduled activities for the Kidz Club. He may even make the Disney on Ice trip an annual event. Otherwise, Curt will continue to bring exciting events and gifts to children with various illnesses. Curt Kramer of Asher Enterprises will uphold professional fortitude and personal compassion.
