The Mature Startups Group investment strategy is guided by a number of fundamental principles:
We believe that the entrepreneur is more important than the idea. We look for innovative thinkers who we believe can drive creative solutions. Our objective is to identify and invest in talented and motivated individuals with a track record of accomplishment and tremendous dedication to their business and vision. We believe that one of our key competencies is identifying these rare qualities.
We look for businesses with innovative products and services in large markets that address significant customer needs. We like disruptive business models that eliminate intermediaries and shorten value chains. We favor marketplace opportunities-specifically, businesses that utilize existing infrastructure, excess capacity and, whenever possible, create recurring revenue streams. We prefer businesses that leverage a technology advantage and create a natural barrier to entry. We encourage a disciplined commitment to milestones and we appreciate capital efficient companies.
We focus on businesses that are still in the early stage but with a proven model and that are generating preliminary revenue. We believe this is the time when the risk/reward matrices converge.
We see a tremendous number of opportunities. Most of our deal flow is organic, arising from our network of entrepreneurs, LP’s and co-investors. Unlike later stage VC and Private Equity, most early stage deals fly below the radar. Access generally comes from relationships.
We believe that we bring more than capital to each investment. This includes insight from our two and half decades of first hand execution and investment experience along with a deep and wide network of relationships. Our thesis, which is supported by our experience in both prior funds, is that entrepreneurs favor other entrepreneurs as investors.
