Eligible investments for our platform are not limited by industry or stage but must satisfy certain criteria that we have found to be most correlated with success. Those criteria include: a) alignment with a reputable lead investor with a proven track record and relevant domain knowledge, b) favorable fact pattern giving rise to the opportunity, and c) transaction fundamentals which support relative value and the opportunity for superior gains.

However, it is our unique partnership with corporate leaders, entrepreneurs and experienced wealth creators that differentiates our platform.
