It is our practice as active investors to work closely with the management teams of our portfolio companies. While this begins with the due diligence process and typically involves leading the initial institutional investment rounds in which we participate, we are proactive in working with management after our investment.
Active Board Involvement: We are active participants in the accountability of management and governance of our portfolio companies.
Access to Potential Customers and Strategic Partners: We leverage our collective networks to accelerate efforts by the companies.
Building Management Teams: We view talent as the key accelerator for venture-stage companies and work to build industry-leading teams.
Assistance with Subsequent Financings: We focus on milestones and capital sources to optimize value through pacing and dilution, for all shareholders. We manage with an eye toward the size of the pie, rather than the share.
Optimizing Exit Strategies: Significant value is created (and destroyed) in the exit process. We actively monitor value inflection points and proactively assist our companies to maximize options and utilize structured opportunities.
