Proprietary Investment in Technology Services & Product Companies

Our investment thesis is that there are many quality unlisted technology product and services companies which have robust businesses but don't attract the attention of large investment banks and brokerage houses. As a result, they are frequently not covered by the media or securities analysts and consequently are relatively unattractive investment candidates for most institutional investors

We routinely make valuation judgments that hinge on a keen understanding of the viability of a company's business model, the competitive environment for the company's future products, and the quality of a company's intellectual property. Our active presence in the technology market enhances our ability to identify promising small- and micro-cap companies for investment

We invest exclusively in the technology sector

We look especially for early to mid-stage investments that will benefit significantly from our active, value-added approach. We may buy anywhere from 1%-51% and we will exercise our veto on the board by virtue of our ownership. However, we DO NOT take over operational control though we may have a say in making it professional using outside managers.

Our goal is to work as partners with pharmaceutical companies to enhance their market and investor presence and get them access to global clients and global “best practices”

Each potential investment is evaluated on its individual merits. However, we focus above all else on the quality and experience of the management team. The candidate company's key managers should have a proven track record; an exceptional ability to communicate the company's story to employees, customers and investors; and a deep commitment to creating value for shareholders.

Because we typically are an active, value-added investor — ready, willing and able to do our part in the company-building process — we look for management teams with whom we can have a true partnership relationship. Other qualities that we always look for: a strong proprietary position; a large, clearly-defined market for the company's products or services; and a realistic, timely exit strategy for achieving liquidity for investors.
