Process As a matter of policy, Markpoint Venture Partners does not sign Non-Disclosure agreements and does not return submitted business plans unless previously agreed. Below is an overview of our basic investment process:
- Screen submitted plans against our Investment Philosophy and Criteria.
- Meet with management, view company presentation and provide honest feedback.
- If warranted, conduct macro-analysis of company, industry, product, competition, management team and applicable financial information.
- Discuss opportunity with advisors and potential co-investors and begin to develop a probable funding structure, when applicable.
- Provided the initial due diligence proves promising, then issue a preliminary term sheet subject to final due diligence.
- Begin more in-depth analysis of company, management, market potential, competitive landscape, product review, financial forecast and exit opportunities.
- Close and fund financing upon the execution of definitive documents.
- Maintain visible and supportive role at the Board of Directors level.
- Assist in cultivation and negotiation of attractive exit opportunity.
The above due diligence process typically takes between 60 to 120 days depending on the age, stage, complexity of the venture, and the quality of supporting documentation. Throughout the entire process, Markpoint is continually performing qualitative due diligence to assess the values, character, and personality of the entrepreneurs and management team. Due to the fact that we receive several hundred business proposals per year, we apologize upfront if we are unable to respond to your submission. The shear volume of opportunities dictates that we are only able follow up on those opportunities that best match with our Investment Philosophy and Investment Criteria. |
