Equity Investment
Every year, we make 3-4 investments. This makes it easier for us to concentrate on the success of the companies—subsequently, our equity—and avoids taking our attention away during key formative years.
We invest at the earliest stages of company development, providing a pipeline of investment opportunities for later-stage venture funds. In addition to our monetary commitments, we also invest "sweat equity" and provide our strategic, development, and other consulting services.
