Partners
Innvotec has funded over eighty start-up and emerging companies and has proven that exceptional returns can be made from investing in early stage businesses but getting acceptable returns across a portfolio can be problemmatic.
Improved returns from venture capital investing can only come about by making, what ultimately turn out to be, better investments and Innvotec has concluded that the making of better investments is improved by de-risking the opportunity as much as possible prior to investment. Innvotec has identified dealflow source and portfolio company management as the "key" criteria in reducing risk.
Getting the evaluation of these right is paramount to creating an improved portfolio wide return, Innvotec concluded that it was logical to identify and seek to work with small, well-rounded teams that understand how to source and evaluate intellectual property that will have real value in the medium and longer terms and just as importantly have the skills necessary to exploit and then realise value.
In doing this, Innvotec is now coupling its regulated fund management, experience, expertise and fundraising skills with those individuals or groups providing complimentary skills in identifying and unlocking the potential in proprietary know-how in technology.
Innvotec no longer seeks out dealflow and opportunities in companies in which it has no prior knowledge of management, and will only accept investment proposals sourced from its partner organisations with which it has co-operated in raising a fund and the initial management teams within a portfolio company will comprise individuals known and trusted.
The first of our partners is Anglo Scientific Limited with whom we have now worked for a number of years.
