Unlike many investment funds, we can invest the smaller amounts required by early-stage companies, as well as larger investments for later-stage expansion. Initial investments typically range from $250,000 to $2 million, with up to $5 million over the life of the investment. We participate in seed/start-up companies, first and second-round investments, and later-stage investments.
We invest primarily in companies engaged in the following industries:
- Information & Communications Technology, such as computer hardware, telecommunications, electronics, semiconductors, software and systems, multi-media, and Internet;
- Life Sciences, such as bio-pharmaceuticals and medical devices;
When we consider funding a company, we look for:
- Experienced and capable management;
- Unique, “must-have” or proprietary products or services that meet a pressing need;
- The opportunity to create a leadership position in a large and growing industry;
- A compelling business model with clearly defined milestones to reach profitability;
- A defensible and sustainable competitive position.
