Great
companies are built around great people. We know that the entrepreneur
is the core of our business, and we are there to support the entrepreneur
as a long-term partner. Not only does iSherpa understand and encourage
the entrepreneurial spirit and give people the space they need to
succeed, but we also know it is vital to success. We have been there.
Our partners have held senior positions at start-ups and large corporations.
As a result, we can become an effective, collaborative partner who
provides the necessary core competencies to build a company.
Our firm employs a team approach and commits several individuals
to the pre-investment analysis of a target company. The team is
composed of experienced industry professionals with core competencies
in technology, business development, finance and market research.
If we and the entrepreneur mutually decide to move forward with
an investment, this core team remains in place to help the company
execute on its business plan. We are dedicated to this approach
because it allows for complete continuity of the team that already
analyzed and communicated with competitors, customers and partners
in making the investment decision. In addition, it ensures a commitment
to entrepreneurs, designed to help our portfolio companies throughout
their lifecycle.
Below is a chart that illustrates how we view the company-building
process and demonstrates areas in which we can contribute during
the different stages:
