There are different definitions out there, in our case we invest in solutions involving dynamics such as sensing, filtering data, acting on context, in significant markets that include:
We pay special attention to the quality of the team and the size and growth of the target market. It is also important that the product has the ability to solve the needs of a large customer base; is significantly differentiated from other products or services in the market and that the company has the ability to defend the value and uniqueness of its products or services.
Each deal has unique characteristics. In general, we tend to invest at early-stage, for a minority stake in the company.
We provide tailored entrepreneurial and managerial support for twelve months and go-to-market capabilities that extend beyond the tailored twelve-month support. For more details see the about us section of the website.
We are an early-stage investor and expect a company to have a solid team and MVP; however, on very rare occasions we accept outstanding idea and individuals or partial teams at a very early stage.
