This matrix sets out the criteria we set ourselves before we consider either setting up an exploitation vehicle or assisting an existing one.

We are focused on success and with limited bandwidth can only support a limited number of companies at any one time. Typically these constraints have seen the creation of one Start up company each year since the inception of the company in 2001.

We like creating companies which have big markets to shoot for, have a good chance of securing a big market share, they can get there pretty quickly, on a modest sum of money and they can defend their market position through un-challengable Intellectual property.
