Investment Policy

DTVP's investment policy is guided by diversification by industry, company maturity and geographical area, the vigor of the opportunity, and the strength of the management team.

DTVP achieves its strategic objectives through investments in early stage, expansion, and buyout/acquisition situations. Companies that use DTVP's capital for expansion purposes will be favored. Buyout and acquisition candidates should operate in growth industries with stable market environments and should have healthy financial statements.

The form as well as the size of the investment must be shaped to meet the goals and objectives of both the company and the investor group. The resulting structure may involve a combination of debt and equity.

In the traditional venture capital case, DTVP may lead or participate in investment opportunities with other venture capital firms with whom it has long-standing relationships. The careful selection of compatible co-investors is an important element in the future relationship with the portfolio company. DTVP will remain sensitive to the needs and concerns of all partners.
