People, not capital, turn dreams into realities.
Accordingly, in evaluating an investment opportunity, the caliber, depth,
and dimension of a company's management team are all-important. The
key managers should:
- Be a well-balanced group in terms of technical competence and proven
managerial skills
- Have a material commitment to the venture's success
- Have strategic philosophies, policies, and goals compatible with DTVP
- Be honest and reliable - exemplars of the highest standards of conduct
- Demonstrate the ability to make money
The prospective portfolio company should embody:
- Extraordinary potential for growth and capital appreciation
- Distinctive competitive advantages and products or services with clear-cut
market differentials
- Application of proven state-of-the-art technologies to their products
and services
- A coherent growth strategy presented in a clear and concise business
plan
- Investment needs in the $500,000 to $5,000,000 range - up to $20,000,000
in certain situations
- A high probability of generating investment returns proportional to
the risks
