Investment Strategy
The universal problem for the entrepreneur is the mismatch between early stage needs, and the resources, both human and financial, available to meet those needs.
Paradoxically for the entrepreneur starting a business, the demand on resources is greatest early in the life of the business, due to the need to develop a professional and scaleable infrastructure to bring products or services through to commercialisation. Yet, it is during this critical formative phase that the entrepreneur will find it most difficult to allocate adequate management time and financial resources to these tasks.
The figure depicts the typical relationship between the need for professional business and technological infrastructure and the availability of resources to pay for this infrastructure over the lifecycle of a new high-tech company. The Growcorp Solution is targeted at this time of
greatest need.
