“We invest in Early Stage companies led by paranoid optimists of impeccable character with these characteristics: A completed product or service with compelling Benefits – and ideally one customer. Proprietary technology with issued or filed patents – to protect the company while it grows. Logical strategic buyers who will want to buy the company – in the next 5-7 years. Business models which lead to cash flow breakeven - while the company waits for a buyer. Contribute to the Greater Good – businesses which can help to “save the world” profitably.”
