We manage a portfolio of publicly listed companies in energy efficiency and new energy technology. We invest our own partners' savings, not money from external investors.
Public markets offer extraordinary amounts of information, often overlooked by VC investors. Listed companies are required to publish financial and operational data, which goes beyond what private companies provide.
Information from publicly listed equity markets brings us invaluable context for our VC/private equity investments
Our objective
Potential exit pricing
When we invest in a private company, we access the company’s valuation against current pricing of similar companies in the equity markets. This gives us a more realistic perspective about the company’s worth and prospects.
Market demand
Private companies often claim great demand for their product by showing its theoretical uses and theoretical buyers. Public equity markets offer us an insight into real sales numbers because listed companies are required to publish financial accounts.
