- investment philosophy
- our investment focus
- our manifesto
Our investment philosophy is based on a few straightforward dimensions:
- - The entrepreneur(s) and the core team
- - Clarity of vision and purpose in terms of the problem they are passionate about tackling
- - Aspects of the problem or opportunity:
- Size – Are you tackling a large enough problem?
- Complexity – Is the problem complex enough to provide competitive differentiation to a well developed solution?
- Marketability of the business proposition - Is the Customer willing to pay for the solution?
- The Business Model – Can you make money at the price the customer is willing to pay for the solution?
- The level of potential Risk - Evaluation, Exposure and Assessment.
As a firm we prefer to invest at the seed stage or very early stage business with a view to providing hands on support and mentorship to the entrepreneur(s). We like ideas that are:
- - Futuristic and push the boundaries of innovation
- - Leveraging technology to address real world/hard asset challenges
- - Focused on sustainability & sustainable business models
To catalyse and enable seed stage businesses in sustainable infrastructure
To promote and enable the spirit of entrepreneurship
To tap into new horizon opportunities and solve problems through technology applications
To adopt a flexible engagement model as an investment partner
We consider many aspects before making investments but our core basis of investment lies in the following principles:
- People and the Leadership behind the idea, concept and the business plan
- The importance and emphasis of people in the whole business
- The degree, nature, difficulty and complexity of the problem and the approach, application and methodology of solving the problem
- The opportunity created through this problem solving approach
