Focus:

We look for investment opportunities that offer the potential for significant capital appreciation. Investments are typically made in later-stage companies as development capital. These companies are near alpha test of their launch product and need to scale up their engineering, marketing and sales infrastructure. Companies at this stage will typically be in a position to achieve an IPO or sale to another company within a reasonably short period of time. With this strategy, we have been able to identify many promising young technology companies that have grown to prominence in their fields and gone on to successful public offerings or acquisition transactions. Since inception, we have placed over $2.1 billion in both equity and debt for U.S. companies. This makes us one of the major sources of later-stage private capital. Once committed to an investment, we are able to complete the transaction quickly, and have achieved a formidable performance record in this respect.
