• Pre-money valuation of startup companies should not exceed $4 million.
• Management should be experienced in building significant, successful companies, although the management team need not be complete.
• Primary investment focus will be on early stage companies, regardless of industry.
• Companies may be seed stage, but should have a prototype or a completed product or service that has been sold or has generated significant interest among prospective clients.
• Company should have a well-articulated strategy to capture and defend a significant market share, including the ability to construct significant barriers to entry.
