WE BELIEVE IN FACT-BASED DECISION MAKING AND STRONG METHODOLOGY
Investing in a start-up with attractive upside potentials means that an investor must rely on a rare combination of few facts about its current and near horizon expected developments complemented with a more visionary future. As an angel powered fund, we like to make rational decisions based on facts. In the near horizon the focus is on avoiding downside value inflection points, while in the longer horizon the conquering of the upsides take over.
The final assessment of facts and visions rests on multiple perspectives of our experienced angels and general partners. We pride ourselves in employing methodologies based on solid research on Best Market Practices of high-yielding Silicon Valley venture funds as well as on experience based analytical methods tested in previous Stoaf funds. Our core team of General Partners and Certified Business Angels help us identify upsides and downsides of a variety of start-ups within SciTech´s four selected investment. And it supports our competence inputs in the start-ups we select.
