Our Investment Goals
VCfirm.com is poised to be the premier financier of start-up and early stage e-commerce ideas in Asia. We are committed to convert the best internet related concepts into viable businesses.
We carefully select our entrepreneurs and guide them to come up with potent business models and flexible operations. Because we intend to work very closely with our entrepreneurs and investees, we intend to invest in only about 5 projects a year beginning 2001 with this volume growing to abut 20% a year.
Portfolio Parameters
Approximately 60% of our funds are/will be invested directly in electronic commerce while 40% will target internet infrastructure projects and other internet ventures of experimental nature.
In the long-term, we expect to derive 65% of our returns from capital appreciation and 35% from stabilized income.
Due to our significant proportion of returns to be sourced from operating income, we seek to invest in projects with huge organic growth potential in the short or medium-term.
Exit Mechanisms
Depending on the nature of business of our invested projects as well as the varying goals of our investors, we intend to hold our investments on a long-term basis. We intend to realize returns from our investment through the following means:
Initial Public Offering (IPO)
Secondary Share Offering through Private Placements or Block Sale (if a public company)
Founders' Buy-back option
Operating Profits (Open-ended investments)
Share Swap
