Make
Initio initiated companies (Make) target solutions through working with real customers and addressing their issues to not only address climate issues, but improve production, reduce costs and produce profitable solutions. This allows us to develop unique and proprietary high impact, high yield deal flow generation.
Buy
We are creating a unique multi-stage fund structure (Buy) which allows LPs access to early stage high impact companies all the way to later stage company opportunities addressing the market (Make or Buy ability), thus generating returns earlier in the cycle, allowing the seed/early stage companies to mature, and greatly improves the return to risk ratio for LPs.
We have successfully used this unique strategy and our people to launch a breakthrough high impact venture, targeting real issues with several large energy companies.
Led by Derek Lew, Jim Charlton and Chris Reid along with a team of seasoned venture capitalists, market domain experts, operators and venture creation specialists, we can identify issues and opportunities, and determine whether there is a Make or Buy investment opportunity. Our team are experts in understanding technical solutions to address key de-carbonization issues facing companies today. We identify Make opportunities or Buy situations others would not easily comprehend thereby creating unique deal flow access.
