Overview of the Bright Spark program:

We specialize in software, mobile, and Internet companies with a strong focus on repeat entrepreneurs. We look for portfolio companies with significant upside – meaning market leaders that have the potential to have a 5-20X return on money if they are very successful. We usually invest at the pre-series A stage. Our perfect middle ground is a company that has already delivered a product to market and has some customer feedback. We don’t want to always take a risk in whether the market will like the idea, and at the same time, we prefer not to pay the higher price associated with scale-up financing. Our investments are at a stage where companies have very positive market feedback, and need to finalize a few things: exact pricing, finesse the sales process, determine the exact cost of sales etc.

Benefits of the Bright Spark program:
  • Investments range anywhere between $500k to $1.5m
