Investment Strategy
Our investment strategy is to invest in sectors where we have knowledge, experience and a successful track record. These sectors are driven by fundamental economic and business trends that create attractive investment opportunities and are often supported by proprietary technology. The following are sectors in which WWC has active interest:
- Commercial Business and Government services
- Software
- Information Technology
- Internet and New Media
- Financial services
Investment Focus
We target companies that have a strong competitive advantage and the ability to impact their market. Most of the companies we finance are in the expansion stage of business development. These are enterprises that have demonstrated some market traction for their product or service offering, but have not demonstrated the full potential of the business model and may not have achieved profitability. Most of the WWC portfolio companies have ranged from $1 million to $25 million in annual revenues at the time of our investment. Other important characteristics include:
- An experienced, capable and motivated management team
- Technologies and/or services with a competitive advantage that meet a market demand or opportunity
- A business model that will enable rapid and efficient expansion of the business
- Relatively high margin potential
- A potential exit horizon of less than seven years
Investment Size Range
WWC typically invests between $1 million and $3 million in an individual company across all stages of investment, but can syndicate much larger amounts. From time to time, our partners on an individual level will make smaller investments.
We generally do not invest in the following:
- Companies that are in the start-up phase of development
- Companies that have not achieved $1 million of sales volume
- Companies that require large amounts of capital to achieve a positive cash flow
- Industry sectors that are outside our knowledge level including biotechnology, semiconductors, and materials research.
