One of the investment options for Geo Fund is Startup funding. Private equity companies often fund startups or products interesting for them to develop because the return on investment can be quite high for the first investors in a startup that is successful.
Steps we take in the process of considering before financing startups are:
- First of all, we make decision focused on industry. We select industries that are developing and we have experience. We evaluate the merits of the company and determine whether we want to commit capital to the deal.
- Decision is also based on our activity level. We consider two main strategies to invest (1) only providing capital to the companies or (2) play a more active role in the planning and management of the company.
- Evaluation of startup investments. We go through to analyze the companies we select as potential investments. We take screening process to identify the best options. Go through the process of reviewing the companies’ business plans and formulate questions we want to know from the companies’ management teams.
- We cooperate with attorneys, accountants, consultants. We always keep our focus on our own community to meet with the management teams before and after funding.
- We analyze the investment. We do a thorough examination of the company. We go deeper on statements made in the company’s business plan. Independently evaluate the market potential for the company’s products or services. Consult with our business associates and solicit their views.
