Our official company data
(legal and financial)

As the first element of interaction between us we would like to review your business plan. The business plan document should be a working document for your company, used in long-term planning, and not just a sales tool for fundraising.  In addition to your business plan we are interested in building a relationship with your management team. We welcome all business plans. We review them and would normally respond to you within two weeks. If you are uncertain of how a business plan should be put together you may use the following headline layout - click here

The process leading to a partnership with us will typically go through the following seven steps:

Phase I
• Business plan review.
• Management presentation.
• Further talks including preliminary due diligence.
• Term sheet (describing due diligence framework, timing, deal terms headlines, etc.).

Phase II
• Due diligence.
• Via Venture Partners Investment Committee decision.
• Drafting and signing of relevant legal agreements and undertakings.

Generally, we will review the situation and the process after the completion of each step, and only progress to the next step if the process so far has substantiated the mutual interest in a potential partnership.
