This process included, but was not limited to: Analysis, Market Research, Financial Modeling, Packaging (Executive Summary, Business Plan & Presentation), Road Shows, Term Sheet Evaluation, Board Positions and more.
We are now doing our traditional startups (1 per year), a few micro investments (2-3 per year) and always on the lookout for a macro investment opportunity.
