INVESTMENT AS A PEOPLE BUSINESS

At New Wave Ventures our investment philosophy is driven by the belief that a good business depends on good people People with ideas People with expertise People who make things happen People who overcome obstacles People who can perform MIRACLES – an acronym we use to describe the key characteristics we look for in a business

We aim to invest in people with ability who we can trust At the heart of our approach is the belief that a focus on finding the right people with the right goals and values is more likely to deliver a successful outcome than concentrating on elaborate financial projections

Our objective is to use our financial strength to provide essential capital, either through equity or loans We leave competent business leaders to run their business without undue interference and expect our main input to be in agreeing broad strategic goals, operating plans and the funding required

We don’t just provide money though We have considerable experience of running successful businesses ourselves, and of tackling the problems and issues that arise along the way We bring that experience to bear by challenging assumptions, anticipating problems and helping to overcome obstacles We know that fortune favours the brave, but we also know that risks need to be understood and managed We believe that, through our expertise, we can add value to the businesses we invest in
