Strategy:
We believe that sound business fundamentals are the requirements for sound business. We believe that great ideas and innovations are created each day in North America.
We believe that bountiful opportunities exist for market and operations expansion across the globe.
The company that can synthesize all three of these building blocks is a company that can build lasting leadership in the worldwide business arena. That is why, when we invest, we look for North American technology companies that embrace these basic tenets for success:
Proprietary, innovative technologies and unique intellectual property
Potential for widespread adoption in a large, receptive market
Clear and sustainable competitive advantage
A dynamic, cooperative management team with proven experience, integrity, and responsiveness
A feasible business model to rapidly achieve market leadership and significant growth in valuation
A sound exit strategy that combines the interests of founders and investors
