We have a sophisticated pre-investment selection process which helps identify those companies, that with our funding and support, have the potential to be huge hits. Each company will present significant global brand expansion opportunities, and be able to validate the demand for their product in the market before substantial funding is committed. We will only invest in companies that have protection from competition and new entrants in the form of registered IP, and have SEIS or EIS advance assurance.
