VENTURE CAPITALISTS
MAY HAVE missed."

Types of
Investments
Our investments are
primarily in private companies that are seeking a change of ownership or
in need of growth equity capital. We seek corporate spin-offs, add-on
acquisitions for existing portfolio companies and companies with sound
business prospects that are currently under performing due to insufficient
capital, a lack of strategic direction, or other issues the partners
believe can be successfully addressed. The Fund will selectively invest in
companies that introduce fundamental change in the basis of competition or
a paradigm shifting innovation in an existing industry. The partners
believe that the information technology industry offers such
opportunities.
