Our View of the Innovation Landscape
Innovation is complex– Serendipity happens– Regions that can quickly mobilize critical resources –
including capital – around opportunities will succeed economically

Differences Between Venture Capital and Ordinary Capital
• Trust-based, high transparency, and integrity in motivations
• Win-win, not win-lose
• Relationship first, transaction second
• Guidance, mentorship, experience in building companies (“return on involvement”)
• Personal counseling
• Access to the rest of the ecosystem: strategic relationships and critical know-how
