then you're probably the sort of person or corporation we like to work with.

Investments we're looking for
We're looking for great technology start-ups and travel operations to invest in globally that are at the commercialisation stage. (i.e.-we don't fund research and development) The start-ups need to:
- have a global focus,
- be high profit and high growth,
- be able to scale rapidly
- offer innovative solutions with clear customer benefits
- be operationally low cost
- have control of their IP
- obviously be in business already or close to making their first commercial sales.
We prefer software and services over hardware operations but the key is the founder's and board's attitude to business growth and wealth creation.
