Submitting a Business Plan — What We Look For

Selecting a venture capital firm as a partner is a pivotal decision. Our entrepreneurs look to us not only for financial support, but to quickly leverage our industry expertise and array of resources to help them build market-leading companies. Please send a short executive summary via email, to the Investment Team member with the applicable industry expertise, so that he can quickly determine if your business plan fits our investment criteria. The summary should:

• Convey the essence of your innovative technology

• Provide a description of the product or service

• Give an overview of the market and the competition

• Discuss the company's core assets

• Describe the team members and their backgrounds

• Reflect the revenue model and how the business will scale to achieve gross margins of ≥65%

• State financing needs, as well as projected future requirements
