Ultimately, our strategy is focused on the development of new companies and projects - which we believe is the best way to create value. Building companies and creating assets requires experience, discipline, critical thinking, and significant hands-on involvement. The process is typically lengthy and capital intensive – which means we must be extremely prudent investors of both our equity capital and our time. On the other hand, because there are only so many deals that meet the stringent hurdles we impose, we must be flexible and opportunistic in how we structure and participate, while sifting through numerous early stage businesses in multiple sectors in order to increase the odds of finding attractive opportunities and delivering the superior, long term returns that we seek.
