Our Areas of Focus
Geographic Focus
We primarily look for investment opportunities located in the Research Triangle Park region of North Carolina; however, we consider deals originating throughout North Carolina
and the southeastern United States.
We also consider syndication opportunities in companies that are outside of this geography that come strongly recommended by a trusted partner.
Sector Focus
Our investment focus is relatively broad and is driven by the expertise and preferences of our members. Regardless of the investment opportunity presented, collective member interest drives our decision to proceed.
We evaluate a broad spectrum of companies that reflects the expertise and interest of our
membership, which includes a diverse group of investors with a wide range of industry knowledge.
Generally, we do not consider Pharma companies and do not invest in franchise concepts, retail, services or other businesses that are not structured to scale rapidly.
Stage Focus
We are focused on early-stage investment opportunities - generally Pre-seed, Seed and
perhaps Series A.
We are willing to play a key leadership role in leading investments for early-stage companies, writing term sheets where appropriate.
