What are we looking for ?
Real
World Entrepreneurs: In our experience, our success has been based on backing
the right management team. We have learned that we have to work with
entrepreneurs who we trust, respect and enjoy being around. We have all been
entrepreneurs and take some measure of pride in understanding the
company-building process and the personality it takes to do it well.
Big ideas: Every company has risks, however modest or audacious its goals. While those risks tend to dissipate with maturity, they never go away. Given this, our preference is to fund companies where, if we all succeed, we have a chance to create an extremely valuable enterprise. That is not to say that one shouldnot have a niche strategy at the outset, to establish some market penetration, but ultimately we like to back entrepreneurs solving big problems.
Opportunity to Own a Sizeable Stake: We think it is in everyone's best interest to have our portfolio companies matter to us. Our goal is to own at least 20% of each of our portfolio companies, which means that we have a serious stake in their success. We understand that this means we have to take the risks associated with coming in early, and we welcome that.
