What we look for

Above all, we’re looking for outstanding entrepreneurial management teams with:

• the vision and dynamism to permanently impact a global market opportunity
• the determination to reach their ultimate objectives whatever the challenges
• the ambition and drive to build a dominant company on a world stage
• an understanding and appreciation of how partnering with Alta Berkeley will add value to their organization

These teams will be looking to exploit opportunities in the communications and computing technology sector that are characterized by:

• innovative technology with the prospect of creating global market opportunities
• product ideas with the potential to provide compelling solutions to unmet needs for large customer groups
• a sustainable competitive advantage through proprietary intellectual property or unique know-how
• a market or technology area where our partners have substantial operational experience and corporate contacts

Typically, we find these opportunities in companies that:

• are at an early stage of development, often before cash-flow break-even
• recognise how they could benefit from a new injection of experience, expertise and strategic understanding at board level
• are seeking appropriate capital to secure a significant expansion of their business
