We seek to back the industry leader(s) in companies in information technology, telecommunications, business/IT services, nanotechnology and life science. We are flexible in our investment approach and can invest anywhere from $500,000 to over $20 million in seed and early stage companies located in the Midwest region. We are generally the first institutional money in and will back established entrepreneurs in going concerns as well as seed new companies or university/corporate spinouts.
Once involved, we will leverage the breadth of resources we have from our global network to create dominant market leaders. This includes assistance in fundraising, recruiting, strategic negotiations, back office support, public relations, real estate, customer introductions and eventually sale or IPO. We bring global resources to local opportunities.
