Investment process
- Step 1: If a company matches our strict investment criteria, we propose a first meeting with management to better understand the business strategy, growth prospects and the management team’s experiences.
- Step 2: We will then take a close look at development strategy, competitive position, financial forecasts, target market, intellectual property and competitive advantages, valuation, use of funds and cash needs, and exit strategy.
- Step 3: We issue a term sheet presenting terms and conditions for our investment.
- Step 4: We run financial, technical and commercial due diligences and upon positive outcome, the investment is closed.
The whole process will usually take three to six months.
