Our Investment Criteria
We Invest in Companies With an Edge — Something Special That is Hard to Copy.
The most compelling businesses share a common trait: a defensible advantage that allows them to grow, lead and command value in their markets. If your company has one or more of the qualities below, we want to hear from you.
What Makes a Company Stand Out
Intellectual Property
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets and Proprietary Technology that Protect What Makes Your Company Unique — and Give It Lasting Value.
Barriers to Entry
Licenses, Permits, Concessions and Regulatory Approvals that Take Years to Secure and Keep Competitors at a Distance.
First-Mover Advantage
A Head Start in an Emerging Market or a New Category, with the Momentum to Become the Standard Others are Measured Against.
Unique Processes or Methods
A Better Way of Making, Delivering or Operating — Proprietary Know-How that Drives Superior Cost, Quality or Performance.
Niche Target Markets
Focused Leadership in a Specialized Market Where Deep Expertise, Strong Customer Relationships and Limited Competition Create Pricing Power.
