Investment Methodology

"In the end, a vision without the ability to execute it is probably a hallucination." Steve Case

We follow a simple investment methodology when engaging with young entrepreneurs. 

Our assessment evaluates entrepreneurs’ capabilities, experience, and passion, confirming that they possess the requisite skills to execute the plan. We delve into market potential, target market size, expansion opportunities, and competitive landscape.

Upon satisfying these criteria, we determine the business’s valuation and structure of the investment deal, defining the investment amount, equity stake, and terms. This is followed by an exhaustive due diligence process to verify the entrepreneur’s information, including legal checks, financial audits, and validation of market data.

Based on our findings, we make the final investment decision and, if favorable, negotiate the investment terms and conditions. Post-investment, we remain committed to supporting the entrepreneur with ongoing mentorship, strategic advice, and potentially additional funding, fostering business growth and long-term success. We are dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs and transforming innovative ideas into thriving businesses.

Investment Process

Term Sheet

This document outlines the basic terms and conditions of the investment. Both parties negotiate to agree on valuation, investment amount, equity stake, and board composition.

Legal Documentation

Once the term sheet is agreed upon, lawyers draft the detailed legal documents, including the shareholders' agreement, stock purchase agreement, and other necessary contracts.

Signing Agreements

Both parties sign the agreements after reviewing and agreeing on the legal documents.

Fund Transfer

The investment funds are transferred to the entrepreneur's account after the signing.

On Going Support

Post-investment, we provide continuous support through mentorship, strategic guidance, and resources to help ensure the business's success.

Due Diligence & Investment Finalization

We identify and nurture early-stage businesses through a thorough due diligence process. This begins with assessing the business model, market potential, and team background. Next, we conduct a financial review, evaluating the company’s health through its statements and forecasts. We then perform a market analysis, examining the competitive landscape and growth potential while ensuring legal compliance. Our technology evaluation assesses innovation and feasibility. We also review the management team’s vision and strategy. Finally, we conduct a risk assessment, identifying potential challenges and developing mitigation strategies. Our comprehensive review enables us to make informed investment decisions and support the growth of early-stage companies.

  • Business Model: Understand the business model and revenue streams. Ensure it is sustainable and scalable.

  • Legal Compliance: Check for issues such as pending lawsuits or regulatory compliance.

  • Management Team: Assess the entrepreneur’s and management team’s experience, expertise, and track record.

  • Technology and Innovation: Evaluate the technology or product for innovation, scalability, and feasibility.
