We get involved before a business reaches $5 million

We get involved before a business reaches $5 million in revenue and after its technology, service and business model have been proven viable and attractive Typical investment levels range from $250k up to $5 million

We prefer opportunities where we can be partners with management and active, not small minority investors just along for the ride

Unlike typical venture firms that look for billion dollar markets, we look for businesses focused on specific industries or specialized functions where the products can be more differentiated

Unlike most private equity firms, control is not necessary We value partnerships where we collaborate on the plans, not dictate them

Since the capital we invest is our own, our objectives align directly with management typical VC firms that are driven by annual management fees and carried interest

We understand the challenges

Every person on our team has been an entrepreneur themselves We’ve started, grown and sold technology businesses making hundreds of millions for our investors and ourselves
