Investment Criteria

Digital sales directly to the end users

The digital age and the web-based distribution of digital goods enable shorter marketing cycles and sales cycles, much shorter than ever before. Digital distribution is no longer just an alternative for distribution channels. This is a must-have capability of a successful company and the best way to reach direct sales to end users.

A $500,000 to $2,000,000 investment required to become cash flow positive

We are looking for companies that are using the digital distribution advantages in order to shorten their time-to-profitability. We are looking for companies whose financial needs are in the areas of $500k-$2M.

Ability & Visibility to become an independent company

An independent company bases its business model and growth strategy on market analysis, on direct distribution to the market and on strong intellectual property. We believe that a good company has minimal dependency on a third party's business and business models.

Availability and acceptance by distributions Channels

Did you speak with your potential customers? With potential channels and partners? Are they ready for your product? Will they use it? Buy it? Pay for it? Do they need it? Is it a nice-to-have or a real must-have?

Strong entrepreneurs that have the capacity & ability to build an independent company

Great product, brilliant technology, smart business model and efficient channels are not enough. The driving force of a great company is a great team of entrepreneurs and managers. We invest in great people.

Innovation and Longevity of product and offering

Innovative technologies lead to innovative product and unique offering. The Israeli entrepreneurial spirit of creativity and innovation has led many companies to clear differentiation and major advantages over the competition. Innovation is a key factor for market penetration, long product life cycle and commercial success.
