What Are We Looking For?
VCfirm.com
has the ability to invest seed and early stage capital in amounts
ranging from US $25,000 to as much as US $5 million in high potential
e-business startup projects focused on Asia.
In order to achieve
our goals, we are constantly monitoring our current projects and
the Internet as a whole to truly exploit its potential power. We
constantly analyze marketing trends, industry players, internet
success stories and the latest infrastructure technologies to be
at the forefront of business concept innovation and business model
evolution.
Hence, we are eager to work with a team who
possess the following resources and attitudes:
- Dedication, innovation and a true commitment
to succeed
- Long-term value creation orientation
- Substantial Personal Investments at Stake
- Creative and Unique Ideas
- Open-mindedness and boldness with true
understanding of risk management
- Cost consciousness
- Transparency
Due to our focus on
long-term value creation and income, VCfirm.com
portfolio projects strive to combine great ideas, dedicated management
and adequate financing for growth. In addition to the investment
parameters set forth in our investment
goals, we seek projects which take advantage of the following
critical factors:
First-to-market
product. We seek projects that involve products or services
that are pioneer in nature and will likely dictate the standards
and underlying economics of their respective fields in the Internet
world.
Income-Appreciation
ratio. VCfirm.com focuses on
projects with exceptional potential for capital appreciation. However
we also require investment returns from a stabilized income stream
representing roughly 20%-40% of total project returns.
Replicable
business model, non people-intensive businesses. Since
the Internet may be operated from anywhere and may target any market,
we prefer projects that will maximize these benefits and will provide
a model that may be transferable to other venues, ideas and opportunities.
Although great people are a unique resource, we prefer projects
that require minimum labor. As we all know, great people can be
hard to find.
VCfirm.com prefers to invest in e-commerce
and internet infrastructure business plans that will provide the
following:
Appropriate financing structure.
We seek projects that allow us to maximize returns via a broad range of creative financing
schemes for both seed investment and future expansion.
Reasonable timeframe to recover
investment. Although the Internet is still in its infancy, we require projects
that will allow us to achieve adequate returns within 2-7 years depending on the nature of
the business, size of investment and project stage in which we have invested.
Superior returns.
Providing seed capital to start-up e-commerce businesses is obviously very risky. To
compensate for the high -risk, we seek projects which have a reasonable risk / return
ratio.
