How do we react when a company wants us to invest because we are

“value add?”

The Groucho Marx Theory to investing in Growth Equity:

Good Companies Don’t Need Us…

Building Credibility Good Companies do more DD on us than we do on them…

• Need to win over – Co-investors – Board members – Entrepreneurs

• DD they do on us – Bankers – Previous

Entrepreneurs – Old co-investors

How to tell when is the right time to invest?

• Deep/defensible/unfair advantage

• Solves a big problem• Huge market potential • Strong Management Team • Proven LEADER
