We look at every plan we receive. For those plans that pass our initial screening, meetings are scheduled for follow-on discovery and exploration. We pride ourselves on rapid analysis and decision-making.

We view each investment as a long-term relationship,spanning five to ten years, so we expend considerable effort in evaluating personal chemistry along with the business fundamental.

Submit
First, we receive your business plan..

Review
A venture partner will review your plan, generally within ten business days.

Meet
If there is a fit between A-venture investing profile and your company, we will meet and discuss your plan.

Evaluate
As we evaluate an investment, we look at the market, the people, and the products or services.

Decide
As the final step, we will invite you and your team to present to us at a partners' meeting. If we agree, we will offer a term sheet for your consideration.

Funding
Our investments range in size from as little as $100,000 to as much as $10 or $15 million. Typically, we invest $3 to $5 million initially and expect to invest $5 to $15 million over the life of a company. We invest for the long haul, not 'quick flips,' and look for entrepreneurs with a similar perspective.
