High-Margin Markets with Strong Growth Potential: We invest in companies which have proprietary positions in high-growth industries and the potential to generate high risk-adjusted returns based on reasonable assumptions. |

Leading Edge, Competitive Technology: We feel companies developing leading-edge products and services are better positioned to achieve high gross margins based on product utility and market differentiation. |
| • |
Effective Distribution Channels: We look for companies that understand their target customers and use new and/or existing distribution channels to provide cost-effective access to key market segments. |
| • |
Organizational Leverage: We encourage companies to focus on core competitive competencies and outsource non-critical activities. |

Rational Valuations: We seek investments at attractive valuations relative to good business fundamentals. We will not make investments in companies where high private valuations seem to be justified only by robust public markets. |
