If you believe that you have an exciting investment opportunity and would like to work with us – please read the following table to understand our Investment Philosophy.
| Philosophy | Explanation |
| Invest with capable, passionate founders | We understand that early stage companies won’t have complete management teams but we target businesses that have the nucleus of a solid, stable team that has devoted their careers and a significant portion of their net worth to building their company. We believe management incentives should be structured around financial and operating targets that promote long-term shareholder value and that the most meaningful incentives should be realized upon a successful exit event of the company. |
| Invest in truly innovative and ambitious initiatives | We will seek to invest in those technology companies that possess the ability to become market leaders in their respective industry. These companies generally possess disruptive and proprietary technologies that have defensible barriers to entry. |
| Seek quality co-investment partners | We will actively seek to co-invest with other IT savvy entrepreneurs, investors and venture capital firms. We feel that syndicated venture investments provide our portfolio companies with greater access to capital, broader strategic relationships, and an expanded recruiting base of available management talent. |
| Maintain experienced group of advisors | We have established a select group of outside advisors to help evaluate and technically validate investment opportunities. These individuals are highly successful entrepreneurs in their own right. They will have the opportunity to co-invest with us in the same companies they recommend and are able to assist in maximising the value of these companies. |
