INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We like to invest in businesses that are already generating some revenue and we mainly evaluate companies based on four criteria:
TEAM
This is as much about the individuals as it is about the team. We have a strong preference for teams that have worked together in some form in the past and complement each other on skills and ways of working.
GO TO MARKET
How are you planning to sell the product? What is your proposition, who are your target customers, which distribution channels, can you leverage to minimise sale cycles?
PRODUCT
Needs to be a solution for a real problem. We want to understand what problem you are fixing, why this is a problem and why is your solution better, more sustainable and scalable. We believe in products that are superior in the following three aspects: significantly low cost, significantly provide revenue uplift and unrivaled user experience.
FINANCIAL
We like to understand your financials, including financing requirements now and in the future and your vision for the next 5-10 years.
WHAT WE OFFER
We partner with entrepreneurs and management teams and offer active engagement
We bring more to the table than just funding
