Seed Investment Criteria

 

3Si looks for:

• An extremely capable management team,

• A scalable business model, 

• An addressable market,

• Limited capital expenditure requirements,

• Opportunities that can be accelerated with support from our network

 

Almost all of the companies in which we invest meet these criteria:

• Product is in beta (versus alpha) stage of development and has been created with input from clients or potential clients,

• Company has some "proof of concept" revenue, except for life science companies,

• A clear, plausible exit strategy within 5-7 years,

• Typical valuation at first funding below $5 million (before new capital is raised),

• Domiciled in the United States.
