Leveraging Partnerships and Opportunities
We partner with growth-stage, entrepreneurial technology and life sciences companies who have a competitive advantage in a market that represents a sizable opportunity. We look for strong management and focus on companies that address key themes in today’s marketplace – Maturity, Migration, Convergence, Compliance and Cost Containment. Strategic themes such as these tend to attract entrepreneurs who would benefit from capital and strategic guidance.
Taking Technology Forward
Although the technology market continues to mature, it is still marked by rapid change. Business models and technology platforms are evolving: bar codes are yielding to radio frequency identification (RFID) and the perpetual software license model is giving way to subscription-based and on-demand licensing. The demand for technology solutions is greatest in three primary markets:
- Financial Services
- Healthcare / Life Sciences
- Supply Chain / Logistics
We look for strong management teams in companies that provide the necessary solutions in the above markets, including analytics/business intelligence, enterprise applications and infrastructure/security/communication.
We are particularly interested in financing technology companies that focus on:
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Technology Enabled Services
- Internet-based Businesses
These segments provide recurring revenue and open markets by making technology available to a wider group of potential customers – ultimately driving long-term value creation.
Our Formula for Life Sciences
As our population ages, effective and value-oriented healthcare products and services will continue to attract greater demand. Simultaneously, the life sciences industry seeks new, innovative ways to enhance drug development pipelines, comply with regulatory requirements and increase efficiencies throughout the process. And, the entire industry is under pressure to provide the highest quality care and treatment options while navigating various financial, governmental and logistical constraints.
From the complex process of drug discovery to the diagnosis and treatment of disease, forward-looking entrepreneurs are now eagerly embracing life sciences challenges as opportunities.
We are particularly interested in financing life sciences companies that focus on:
- Molecular Diagnostics
- Medical Devices
- Specialty Pharmaceuticals
