Value and Velocity

In addition to targeting emerging technologies, we evaluate portfolio investments based upon the speed and ease with which they can create high-margin value and scale up globally. Where necessary, our team leverages domain expertise, operational and entrepreneurial experience, and network of relationships, to enhance value and velocity for our portfolio companies.

Sequential Financing

We prepare our portfolio companies for each investment stage by engaging the right co-investors, identifying sequential investors, and aligning investment time horizons. Identifying “Step Change” opportunities – scale financing, partnerships, M&A – is a critical criteria of our selection process and ongoing strategic reviews.
